Sylar's stasis thread

Somewhere! It's been a while since I last saw it though! But if it means that he's eating hay then it's worth it :)

He is beautiful isn't he?! :love: I've loved black bunnies from the moment that I saw him. That's actually how I ended up with Bill! Everytime I walked into p@h we would see him and I would call him Sylar number 2! How could I not take him home?! In reality they looked and acted completely differnet. Their blackness was their only likeness! Both equally beautiful though. I think that black bunnies will always be my favourite :love: They are so handsome and have such wise eyes.

That reminds me years ago when I went and fetched a couple of bales of hay for the rabbits and my neighbour joking asked "Are you starting a farm?"

OH replied with a dreary grin. "No, we already have one :roll:"

It's my dream to have an actual farm... so I suppose I can't moan too much!

Just out of curiosity, will any of the drugs he is on make him drink more? He seems to be drinking a little more than usual. But I am watching him a little more than usual too so it could be in my head :roll:
 
Lovely pics :love: How has he been today? Is he still shaking his ears?

I don't know about the effect of any of the drugs regarding drinking. Could it be that he's eating more dry foods? My rabbits drink more in the Winter when they eat more hay than grass.
 
Lovely to see him munching on his hay :)

I'd love a farm too, although our place already resembles one as well. Five rabbits in the garden, one in my daughters room and currently poorly Sydney in our room x

I doubt it would be the drugs, but if his mouth is at all sore that's a sure sign. I hope he keeps going OK and doesn't worry you all too much :)
 
Oh my days! Sy isn't half putting up a battle now at meds time. I can't even get a hold of him. He starts growling and lunging at me!
He's now eating a fair bit of hay and greens. When we first brought him home he was mostly lying in a really weird place (infront of his castle) that he never lay in before. He's stopped doing that now and he's back in his tunnel where he usually sleeps. I've also come upstairs to find him munching away in his litter tray a few times now too :)
I'm definitely feeling more positive!

He certainly looks like he's munching away at quite a mouthful in one of those photos! Good boy Sylar, you keep nomming... Sending more healing vibes of course. Xxx
 
We have had our checkup with Molly and she is pretty happy with him. She said that he seems like a different rabbit :) He's much brighter and he actually looks smaller and less bloated in the tummy area, his tummy feels much better too. She checked his teeth again and everything looks fine and she also checked his ears because there has been some head shaking (most likely the catheter).
We are going to reduce down the gut meds and then concentrate on building up his strength and then make an appointment for in a few weeks time for further tests. He eats and enjoys lots of hay so she doesn't really think that it's his teeth but it's on the list of things to investigate further. She wants to do an ultrasound on his abdomen too.
RHD2 test came back NEGATIVE! :)
 
Bless him, I'm glad things are looking up and that the RHD2 test was negative, that's excellent news! I hope he continues to pick up and gets stronger and 'continued improving vibes' are being sent. Well done you beautiful boy! I hope your mummy can get some rest now - she must be soooooooo tired! xxxx
 
Well that's a very good report from Molly. I'm so pleased and hope that you can relax a bit now.

Once he's completely off the gut meds I would keep a note of what food he has each day and try to keep hs diet quite simple.

Well done Sylar :love:
