The constant battle for help for niki also included friday being full of visits from support worker agencies..advocacy schemes and oh the boiler guy cos my boiler broke.
Unfortunately it caused Bif terrible upset and it made oscar panic too.
They had squishy poo everywhere..and in the evneing he went very quiet and was only picking at his food..and he wouldnt leave the tray and kept like pulling straw out from under him.
he was obviously having cystitis cos his bits i bathed for the fourth time that day were swollen.
I got him to the vets as an emergencey sat morning and the vet thought it may be cystitis so gave him a long acting antibiotic and his gut was not making right noises bit of gut stasis and gave him a meto something or rather shot to help.
I was hopeful cos he didnt say it didnt look good and i nursed my fat asred monster kibbles years ago thro it many times as she had so many dentals.
sat nite i was soo happy he perked up played with bif nibbled at hay etc and drank and a bit of food..bout a mouithful.
we syringed some food into him and massaged his belly earlier in the evning.
yesterday he went diownhill and we upped the food syringing..and he was too quiet.
We got up at 1.30 this morning to give him more and i found a sachet of lectade solution and made it up and he enjoyed drinking it from the syringe. But his head keot lolling over and at first i thought head tilt..but nikki said no hes tired he always does that when hes tired.
we pooped a drop of metacam to help with the pain and we cleaned him up best we could and popped him into his cage and made him comfy..nikki went to bed and i stroked him and told him he had to make it and id take him to the vet this morning as it was open for 2 hrs for emergency in the town 11 miles away.
I was meant to get up 2 hrs later but i t was 3.35am and i slept to 7.35 am and i was too scared to go downstairs and i took a clean towel ready to feed him etc and when i got down it was dark and bif was sitting by the unit i said hi..couldnt see foo foo anywher then isaw his lifeless body in the cage..he was laying on his side with his head down in the corner of the cage..i felt him and he was cold and not breathing..
have you ever vomited when you have nothing in your stomach?
We are all heartbroken..bif was nuzzling his lifeless body..my mums fallen apart..cried harder than she did for my dad..its brought it all back i guess for us all on top of feeling so bad for bif..never mind the heartbreak of losing our beloved little bunny who thought he was a puppy..
least hes with nuggy and the ladies and my dad and woozle..sleep sweetly little fella..
-------------------------------------------------------------
the thing is we got Biffykins for oscar..shes not a people bunny..no matter how much weve tried..but she was still trying herself..weve had her 5 months now from the rescue..
i had to clean out trays and change bedding and remove soiled anything..but left the teddies etc..
she must have been with him when he was dying and she was down here on her own with his body till i came down..
shes looking for him constantly and will not come near me..shes eaten some hay and been for a wee and done a huge squishy poo..but im now scared shell go the same way..im going to have to force feed her if she doesnt stop going crazy..i cant deal with this..im heartbroken..but shes devastated..
please please how can i help her..what can i do...im so lost..
