Fudgie has been admitted to the hospital for stasis. [emoji17]
Yesterday afternoon I noticed she wasn't right. She seemed to be in discomfort and shifting around a lot like she couldn't get comfortable. She also wasn't interested in food so I took her to the emergency vet. She was examined there and given pain relief and emperid.
There was no improvement overnight. No output and she still didn't want to eat so I syringe fed her through the night. The OHH vet said I should take her to my usual vet this morning if there was no improvement. My vet doesn't open until 9 and I couldn't wait that long. I haven't slept a wink all night as I've been so worried about her [emoji17] So I took her back to the hospital very early this morning. Worryingly, despite the gut stimulant and syringe feeds there appears to be few gut sounds and her temperature has dipped since it was taken yesterday. She's now being kept in at the hospital so she can be put on a drip and monitored more closely. The vet I saw this morning is, I think, more rabbit savvy than the one I saw yesterday. They're going to check for a blockage first to rule that out and if she doesn't respond to the initial treatment they'll do a scan of her tummy to get a better idea of what's going on. I feel a bit better that they're being more proactive with treatment now. Although that doesn't stop me worrying [emoji17]
I'm supposed to get an update between 12 and 2. Any spare vibes for Fudgie would really be appreciated.
Thanks
