Vibes for my little guy

[MoonHare]

I used to post on here as Mariposa but locked myself out! Little man, who is now nearly 8, was looking very unhappy this morning; hunched up, eyes half closed, not interested in food. Looked in pain with his back legs (he’s already on Metacam for arthritis). Been admitted to rabbit savvy vets with his partner in crime; all vibes greatly received

Sending lots of vibes xx

Hi, I remember you

Sending loads of vibes for your little man. I hope that the vet can help him to start eating again. Sometimes Metacam isn't enough to relieve the pain of Arthritis and additional medication can be prescribed to be given when there is a flare up.

I remember you too- I remember your avatar too.

Loads of vibes for your little man. Keep us updated please

 

[MoonHare]

Thank you all! Touched that you remember me (and my Henry Hoover avatar drawn by another member on here!) and hope you’re all OK.

Will certainly keep you updated. I think they’ve given him some other painkillers today already - Metacam’s been doing a great job until now but maybe he needs more now, as you say. Obviously they want to get his guts moving again and see what else they find. Will get a call in the morning unless anything else happens in the meantime.

He looked very sad and old this morning

Aww, sending lots of vibes for your poor boy. I'm sorry he's not well. I hope he's feeling better today.

Thank you all

He’s been eating and pooping! Collecting him later. Have appointment next week anyway to check calcium levels etc (he had bladder flush before Christmas) so will be good to get him checked over again then.

He’ll come home with Cisapride and he’s on Metacam anyway.

It’s hard at this age now as it seems to take more out of him, and I know he won’t be around forever. But, keeping him comfortable while he is here, and seeing him enjoying life, is lovely

 

[Omi]

Good news Might be worthwhile reviewing his pain relief for his Arthritis when you see the vet again next week.

I’m glad he can come home, fingers crossed he will be ok now.

I'm glad he's well enough to come home today. Sending him lots more vibes! I agree that with older bunnies it's all about keeping them comfortable and letting them enjoy life.

 

[MoonHare]

Thanks all

Omi, yes - will certainly be discussing arthritis pain meds next week as part of the review. They were “happy” with how his legs and spine were yesterday - think he was moving more naturally by the time they saw him - but definitely want to discuss it all with his usual vet.

I'm glad he's well enough to come home. Xx

Thank you.

He looks really sorry for himself, not much interest in eating for himself. Have given him some critical care and he’s sleeping now.

Millions of vibes he is back to normal very soon.

 

[bunny momma]

Sending vibes he will soon be back to eating well on his own.

Aw, I'm so sorry he's looking so sorry for himself and isn't interested in eating much... I hope the Cisapride and the critical care will get things moving so he'll feel like eating more again like he did at the vets. Sending lots more vibes for him.

Thanks all, he’s much brighter today - still not quite his usual self but a big improvement on yesterday.
