I'm useless at keeping up with recording things on paper so thought I'd make a little thread for Mouseypie.
Here's some background:
Mouse has been with us for almost 4 years, estimated to be 3-4 years by Camp Nibble when we adopted her. So reckoning on 7-8 years.
She had EC diagnosis & head tilt at Camp Nibble. For the 4 years we have had her she has always been quite wonky & clumsy in her movement (she can move really fast though). She has been on oxbow joint support tablets for about 6 months - tbh I don't know if there has been a significant difference.
Mousey really enjoys us giving her a gentle back 'massage' & manically licks the floor when we perfect our technique. Joey bun has also been grooming her regularly around her problem area so it looks like he is on board with the massages too.
She is a little underweight, ideally needs another 200g or so. I've been trying to build her up with homemade cookies made from dried forage crumbs, ground excel, a piece of grated carrot / pear & bunny approved herbs & spices. The difficulty is Joey often gets wind of Mouses treat time & he is meant to be on a diet. If I remove Mouse from the other bunnies she gets very nervy & won't eat or settle at all.
So I took Mousey to Crab Lane to see Becky. Her appetite had declined a little & she'd spent a day reluctant to move from the litter tray a few days prior.
Gosh this a long one. I'll pop back with Becky's assessment after another coffee
