i know berties renowned for being rather laid back..um rather too laid back..but how much is too much?
its why i never realsied willow was dying..she always slept in front of the dor and never got up even when you tripped over her!
so im worried about bertie.
hes not pooping as much again but it seems a syringe feed of criticial care here and there helps him as does the odd dose of metacam. the vet thinks it maybe very early stages of spine arhritis esp as he responds to metacam so positively.
he was 18 months old when i borrowed him and ended up adopting him. that was sept 2006! so now hes 4 and a half..not old for a bunny by any means..and i know theres older frenchies on here too. But i guess each buny is different.
last few days where its been so cold hes slowed down even more. the radiator by him hasnt been working for ages....the gas bloke came out to fix it after id tried everything id been told to do..it turned out to be the pin in the thermostat.
since then berties had his bum up against the hot water pipes leading to the radiator...his dog beds in front of it but he hasnt used that..hes warming himself a lot...
hes a dear old soul..dirty for a housebunny but getting cleaner since hes split from bif. she beat him up daily!
hes got cross with salem for laways nicking the blankets by the radiators....event tho they often sleep together on them. bertie has retaliated by peeing on the blankets at odd d times...just small marking wees luckily.
being a red eyed white i know his sight isnt great but worried as shes bgun making odd clicking noises with his mouth when hes walking about the lounge....almsot like a bat with sonar! hard to say if his eye sights going or not...poor old thing. or if its a habit hes got into when he had to run from bif.
hes slowed right up and im guessing its cos of his age plus the fact hes always been a lazy bun...and is warm thank you very much!
should i be worried?
