Daphne is sick

I'm so sorry to hear Daphne's been so ill but glad to see she's improving :D
That's a lot of drugs, poor thing. Hope she's not too bad with a syringe!
Get well soon little one. Keep eating those brambles!
Thinking of you all xx
 
The vibes seem to be working. You guys are so amazing.

We just got back from the vets so while OH cooked us dinner I went to get some brambles.... well as soon as I put them in front of her face...

She's also eaten 2 bits of hay. Still tons of brambles left but she willingly came out to eat them.

And yes J&B - She's had this before with a grade 3 heart murmur. Somewhere between 6 months and a year.

MM - They always give us lots of drugs - we have to slowly wean off once back to normal.

Vet was very amused by the murmur and believes it comes on as a stress response to being ill - it normally happens in cats so for a bun to get it it's quite interesting.

Look at this girl! :love:

So pleased to hear this :) I hope it means you and OH might have a peaceful night?
 
Only just read your thread, so sorry to hear your lovely girlie has been poorly. Sending loads of vibes for her and you too xxx
 
Thinking of you all and pleased that Daphne seems to be improving. Yes, I remember when she had it last time too. Wonderful Brambles to the rescue again :D

Julia - I hope that Bob is also still improving and enjoying his Brambles.
 
Good news, well done Daphne, I'm glad she's recovering.
My bun has GI stasis from time to time and since being prescribed Cisapride his recovery has been amazing. It's gone from 5 days to get back to normal (poo output and size) to only taking around 24 hours. He's been diagnosed with a slow hind gut and apparently Cisapride is particularly effective in helping with that.

It sounds like you have all bases covered with the meds that have been prescribed. Hope all goes well x
