Daphne in stasis again

"Thank you all my extra hoomins."

Phoebe is now being funny with food so I've given her a dose of gut meds to help. (Spoke to vets)

Glad to hear that Daphne is feeling a lot better and I hope that Phoebe does not decide to be poorly now.

So much for having Pets as a way of reducing our stress levels !!

Thank you everyone for the support and love.

So we were at the emergency vets until midnight. They had a road traffic accident come in to deal with so we were kept waiting around an hour to an hour & half. During this time we got Daphne to eat a dandelion leaf. We decided not to have a vet exam as she had now eaten something which gave me hope she was manageable.

The vet said he still wanted to check her over as we had gone all that way and he was sorry we had to be kept waiting so long. So he checked her over FOC as goodwill.

Examination was the same as at our vets... we were concerned and took her as she was getting lots of water in her mouth then letting it dribble out. She was getting her nose in the bowl and I was worried about her aspirating, her abdomen had also grown in size.

Once home she ate more grass etc so I was up every hour to ensure she was still eating and syringe feeding if not.

This morning we have poos and she's excited for food. Her abdomen has become smaller and she doesn't seem in pain. I'm still going to dose her on meds this morning and I'll be coming home to syringe feed during the day. She's locked in the bedroom so we can monitor on the camera.

Thank you again everyone. I wish I could quote you all.

Loobers the gas seems most likely for the behaviour. I've never seen it that intense before.

JJ the vet had a good palpation of her bladder, as did I, it felt perfectly normal so we don't believe cystitis but I may get a dip stick done to be sure.

We've no idea what has set off this episode. She's not had any different foods etc so it's a mystery.

Really good news, I'm so glad it's worked out. But you must be exhausted!

I’m so sorry to be reading this :-(

Poor Daphne and poor you. I hope she starts to get going soon bless her.

I’ve heard baby food can be quite tempting for bunnies.
Send love, hugs and bunny nose bumps <3 xx

Well I think someone was just having OH on one. She seems fine for me once I'm back home.
