Vibes for Willoughby

Great to hear that he's brighter. Seems odd that it could be the Metacam doesn't it? At least it shows that he's not in pain I guess.
 
Can rabbits be intolerant to certain drugs?

Maybe he's slightly allergic and the prolonged use has caused issues.

Hello, just seen this, it sounds like it’s been really rough and tough. Hope things continue to get better.

These buns can be such hard work x
 
Thanks everyone for thinking of us :)

Yea he does seem brighter and less bloated without the metacam! Which is definitely odd to me, but it's a noticeable different!

Awh thank you for asking especially when you've got so much going on rn too! x

It's weird, I was gunna post earlier, so I was a bit rubbish today I totally forgot to give him gut meds [emoji51] and he was fine? I did give them this evening, but I'm thinking Friday night just giving cisapride, then over weekend just cisapride for a few days, if no change I might leave that one off too for a few days and see if anything chances... But yea I'm not entirely sure what's going on with him. I'm still waiting on a call from my vet, so when he calls I'll discuss everything with him more.. But yea.. Idk what to make of it tbh! I'm cautiously optimistic [emoji38]

Gawd I hope he's turned a corner, you poor things. It does sound like he might have developed some sort of sensitivity? I mean, it happens in humans...? I know that's no hard and fast rule but we're both mammals!
 
Thanks everyone, yea I hope this means maybe no meds for life? Idk tho, he's a little diva that's all I know [emoji38]

Oooohhhh - this sounds good. do you know sometimes vets suggest things (such as willoughby comin of his honey drugs) & it makes me feel all uncomfy but I bloody love it when they are right.

I think we might have taught him that, sorry! I blame Chibbs :lol: TBF it's easy to blame Chibbs for most things at the moment, she's being the chewiest little madam...

J&B, totally agree :D
 
So his vitamin d results came back

Normal Vit D level is 80 - 175
Willoughbys level is <3.5 ie not able to read because it is so low


Anyone know anything about this? [emoji51]
