Please can I have some vibes for Fudgie

Your poor baby girl & poor you. Sending a million vibes your way. Hopefully the opiates have her comfy even if its scared you her being so subdued. I doubt they'd help with appetite too. Hopefully all the meds will come together soon. I can appreciate you being scared xx

Thank you everyone. I've just been to see her. Unfortunately she still hasn't passed anything and isn't eating for herself. They're struggling to get her temperature back up so she's in a special heated incubator. She was very subdued and didn't respond much to me. The vet did warn me that she will probably be like that as she's on opiates. I'm feeling very upset and pessimistic at the moment. I don't think she'll be coming home [emoji17][emoji17][emoji17]

Oh no Scrappy!

Loads of vibes. Pull through Fudgie!!
 
I know it's easy to say but try not to panic, 3 out of my 4 buns had stasis episodes and each bun took different lengths of time to produce poop. Rosie took nearly 4 days , she was very ill but made a full recovery so don't give up hope. She sounds like she is in great hands. Sending vibes xx
 
Sending lots more hugs. I can understand how scary this is, especially when a rabbit has had opiates.

I really hope you get some more positive news soon.
 
Thank you very much for your kind words and vibes everyone. I really do appreciate it xxx

I'm feeling a bit calmer now. It was just very difficult seeing her so out of it. She's normally very bouncy and hyperactive. I'm trying to think more rationally and of course it's understandable that she would be very quiet as she's unwell and is probably zonked on the vetergesic (sp!). I have to admit it is hard at the moment. Scrappy passed away at the same hospital and I have this awful dread feeling in the pit of my stomach that I'll get that phone call in the middle of the night again. [emoji17]

Oh Scrappy!

Vetergesic does that to a bun. Well lots of buns anyway. It puts them scarily 'out of it' ....

Loads of vibes. Hopefully it will be out of her system by now, or very soon, and she will be eating and pooing xxx
 
All the best and brightest vibes for dear Fudge coming to you with all due speed. xxxxxxxxxxx
 
Sending lots more vibes for you fudgie..

And really hope you've managed to get some sleep scrappy and fingers crossed there is some better news this morning for you!

Take care and lots of hugs for you too xxx
 
Thank you very much everyone xxx

Well the good news is that I haven't had any phone calls from the vet overnight (I've never wanted a phone NOT to ring so badly in my life!)

I'm not sure if they will call me with an update this morning. The vet did say they would only ring if her condition deteriorates and if I don't hear from them it means everything is ok. Kind of no news is good news. Otherwise I have to call them after 12 when the vet has finished the rounds. It feels like an awful long time to wait but I do understand they have a lot of sick animals to look after and they have to have a system in place otherwise the vets would spend most of their time on the phone to their owners instead of treating them!

No news is definitely good news. Although I know the waiting and worrying is agonising. Sending millions more vibes for Fudge xx
