Slowing Down u/d he’s gone

[MoonHare]

We've been back at the vets this morning. Little man very slow, tired, and looks sad. The damp weather this week certainly hasn't helped his arthritis. She couldn't find any dental/gut issues so gave him a stronger painkiller injection and we're home with some more meds. I've given him some critical care as, while he is eating for himself, he's eating very slowly and has nothing like his usual appetite. He's been snoozing lots since we got back, which she said would happen with the painkiller, but still looks sad. Luckily she's working tomorrow morning and they do have out of hours if we need. Poor little guy, wish he could tell me what's wrong

I really hope he perks up. Extra vibes

 

[MoonHare]

Thank you everyone. Unfortunately he’s not perked up at all so I think we’ll probably be back at the vets later

It’s probably the buprenorphine AKA Vetergesic if that’s what he was given. The sedating effects can last for several hours in some Rabbits

Ok, thank you. He’s barely eating anything for himself, not drinking and not been to toilet since we got back (as far as I can tell). I wouldn’t say he’s looked in any less pain at any point since having the painkiller injection (not sure what it was) this morning.

 

[MoonHare]

He's been admitted at our vets out of hours for more pain relief. Update in the morning when regular vet back, unless he deterioriates before then.

 

[InspectorMorse]

You did the right thing taking him back in. I really hope that he will improve overnight. I expect the Vet will need to run some diagnostics now x

 

[MoonHare]

Thanks Jane. Couldn’t keep him here overnight when he’s clearly not right so he’s in best place now (with his bunwife). Yes, I think it’s probably a deterioration in his spinal issues based on the examination this morning, but will see what they say tomorrow.

 

[joey&boo]

as you say he's in the right place & good to hear he has his wife for company / emotional support. You must be worried though. Loads more well wishes xx

Really hope you will receive better news about him later this morning x

Topping up the vibes for him.

Thinking of you and your little man. Also sending lots of vibes.

Oh, poor little bunny... I'm sorry he's not feeling well at all. I hope they can do something to help him at the vets, and figure out what's going on with him. I'm glad he has his wife with him. Sending him so many vibes. I hope he's maybe feeling a little better today.

 

[MoonHare]

Thank you all; unfortunately had to let him go this morning
