Oh no Sending lots of vibes for Rosie xx
Rosie has had her Op and they are just waiting for her to come round more. Mike has been there all afternoon and he is going to bring her home as there is nobody on duty throughout the night at our Vet's and we could have took her to another Vet's for the night but we don't want to. We are going to have to part her from Murphy and that will be bad enough but to be in a strange place as well without Murphy will be too much for Rosie as she is a nervous bunny. We have all the meds here and we shall sit up with her through the night.
The vet said if we had left it any longer she would have died as when she opened her up she was so full of gas she would have exploded. The blockage was due to fur.
not sure if you will have a chance to read this - but dont forget to keep her very warm all night - after surgery they have difficulty maintaining their temperature. Also if you have to travel back to the vets tomorrow for a top up of fluids (if you are not able to do subcut fluids) then wrap her warmly and pad her in lots of towels etc for the journey.
All the positive thoughts and vibes I can muster for Rosie.
To give you hope; we had a bunny who had the same problem with a complete fur blockages and underwent the same procedure. He survived and lived on until he was 9.
Well she has made it through the night though she seems a little frail, she had her 2nd Vetergesic injection at 8:00 am this morning but she has not eaten. Mike has spoken to our vet this morning and she has told us rather than take her down ( as it's an hour away) to syringe feed her every 2 hours to keep her gut moving and we are also giving her fluids.
Going to put Murphy (her Husbun) in an indoor cage next to her today maybe that will give her the fight she needs to get better.
