It has not :'(Fingers crossed that everything stays ok, sending calming vibes :thumb:
Well they had to be separated again, Clementine seems to be going for him and Idk why she bit a vet nurse at the vets too... She's never been like this before she's really upset. Atticus wasn't perfect either though [emoji38]What's happening Gracie?

Thanks xx
The only thing she'll really eat is cavolo nero.. Or whatever it's called... But I'm pretty sure that's kale.. And high in calcium... But then some places say because veg is wet.. Its good.. But my vet said no veg.. But gut stasis isn't ideal either.. catch 22 this is I think..

I know my vet doesn't believe that veg or water effects bladder sludge. He says it's only down to a organ not working properlyJust wondering what the Vet's reasoning is for saying not to give Clementine any Veg at all :?
What about fresh herbs ? Grass (small amount of the less lush looking stuff as grass is especially rich atm) ? Fresh Hawthorn ?

She's still not really eating, and Idk what to give her because there's basically nothing I can give her because the calcium issue.. And tbh I just wanna give up. Also don't think I have enough loxicom til I see the vet and there's literally no way I can get there tomorrow at least we have the tramadol I guess... This whole thing has become a bit too crazy for me, with everything else I have going on I'm very stressed out and I just wanna cry tbh... Not exactly an uplifting update but its the truth and sometimes the truth sucks [emoji38]

Yea it's all or nothing here as always [emoji38]
Yep they're separated for now again, near each other though. I need to get Clementine back to normal output and eating I think before trying them again, it's just all too much

I’m so sorry that it’s so bad at the moment has the vet not given you enough loxicom to last? Could you get to a different vet if they could dispense some, on the say so of your vet if necessary?
I agree I would keep them separate and get her back to being better first. Have the vets given you any gut meds for her? Are you syringe feeding anything to get her guts moving? Sending lots of vibes and hugs xx
Really sorry it's all so stressful atm. I would try to consider the various issues separately and deal with them according to their priority.
In my view the main issue with Clementine is that she won't eat very much, so I would concentrate on that first. I would keep them separate until she is a lot better health-wise. They won't come to any harm not being together and re-bonding can be dealt with at a later stage. Similarly with worrying about high calcium foods is, in my view, not something to try to deal with until you have sorted her anorexia.
I don't know whether you have seen this article by FHB regarding calcium and rabbit foods. Her view is that grass and other leafy green vegetables are better for rabbits with sludgy urine than hay and pellets.
