Velvet is very sick- shes gone

Oh God Phill - this is awful for you :( I truly hope that Velvet can get better and get home quickly.
Phill, has your vet thought about Hepatic Coccidiocis? It would be worth looking into as it is different to Coccidia - I think that all three buns have had something that is similar and not VHD.
Please get better Velvet - healing vibes being sent to you - xxxxx
 
Oh no Phill not another sick bun. You must be so worn down by all the stress. I SO hope she'll be ok. Questran (cholestyramine) is sometimes helpful in cases of eneritis. It apparently helps to absorb the toxins in the gut thereby may prevent enterotoxaemia. Dose is 0.5g/KG orally twice a day. Sending all our positive vibes to you.

aaww Phill.. im so sorry to hear you are still having problems. I hope that Velvet improves soon and the vet works out what is causing the bunnies to be so ill. Hugs to you and your bunnies
 
Thanks Guys, The vet rang about half an hour ago, Velvet is ok she is responding to the Fluids and Antibiotics. It's not looking good though my vet now has an idea as to what it could be Muciod something or other but not the enteritis??? but he needs velvet to pooh as he needs to test it but she hasn't :(

I get the next update tommorow unless something happens overnight :(
 
Everything crossed at this end Phill, tell Velvet we are sending her loads of love and snuggles and of course to you as well. I will give you a ring later as I am just going to sort the buns out.
Take care
Love
Kay & Davidxxxx

P.s Sam & Blue did really well today at that Dog Training we went to they have said they will be leaving Grumpers & Growlers soon and going on to more obedience, so I asked if I could enrol David as well :lol: :lol: :lol:
