Have you split the dose of metacam so that she's got some in her body all the time. I've always been told to split it by my specialist as when it's getting to 16 hours after the dose they're in pain again. Maybe ask your vet if you're not. What dosage is she on?

Yes I split the dose I do find though that it has completely worn off after 12 hours, so if she is really struggling, she gets the whole lot in the evening, then half in the morning. If she needs it she needs it, side effects are not to be worried about at this stage, I just want her pain free x

I can empathize. Mimzy's been on maximum dose for a few years now. He's tolerated it quite well. But I understand the frustration with it seeming to wear off quickly. This is why bunnies can tolerate such high doses, their systems cycle it through faster than other animals'.

I hope that Daisy will continue to be comfortable and that you have a while longer with her yet. xxxx

 

[cpayne]

Yes I think it only lasts 12 hours too.

I agree with you about splitting the dose.

cpayne, wasn't there a time Doughnut was on it three times daily?

Thanks guys. Daisy isn't doing too well she is still eating plenty, after the metacam has kicked in, but mainly brambles and dandelions. She is still eating some pellets in the morning though, and she is us also eating greens/coriander/dill and broccoli, but brambles are the thing she will eat at any time of day. I think I may have to say goodbye on Friday my favourite vet only works Fridays and Tuesdays, and I think she will struggling much more by Tuesday I am devastated. Daisy has always been here I talk to her constantly at home, my house will be so empty without her in it but I don't want her to be in pain all the time

I'm so sorry, what an awful time you are having sending lots of vibes for her, and hugs for you xx

 

[ripminnie]

And now she has perked up a bit. She came in the kitchen looking for her banana medicine, whereas she didn't want it this morning. She had an injection this morning, but tonight she has had half oral/half injection. I don't think she wants to leave me yet... it's so hard knowing what to do for the best

 

[Barn Yard Bunnies]

Thinking of you and Daisy. Xxx

 

[Omi]

I'm sorry to see your latest update. I'm sorry I can't remember if you've discussed this before, but would it be worth considering a stronger painkiller for her, one that you could inject.

Sending more vibes for Daisy.

Daisy feeling a bit better <3






Sorry for poor quality phone pics, but it's nice to see her feeling better

 

[Pets mum]

Bless her little face, I'm so pleased that she's perked up a bit. So sorry that you might be faced with having to make a decision for her, but I'm sure Daisy will tell you when it's time. Xx

Daisy is loads better this morning!! I think I know what it is now... it was raining yesterday and she didn't go out, so rested her legs a lot more. It was lovely over the weekend and she went out quite a bit. To get to the grass she has to go down some steps, which does her no good at all she loves going out though, and gates being picked up. So it's a tricky one but the difference today is unbelievable, she's a superstar

I'm so glad she is doing better. I've had the same dilemma with Lightning this year because any kind of excitement and exercise for him has then crippled him for 6-8 hours the next day. So we've also had to find a fine balance, but whilst he loves exercise, and does get it, I give it only in moderation. Daisy has so much space at home that if she can't always go out, that is ok (in my opinion and experience).

I hope you're also feeling a bit better today, knowing that she is also feeling better- I know things are not easy right now.

Thank you so much lovely of you to post, I really appreciate it I am cutting grass for her every day so that she doesn't have to go and get it herself, if that's what she fancies... fresh brambles have been a lifesaver too, when she's been really bad. It's so good to see her 'back' for a while though
