Cookie has not been herself for some time now, her mood definitely went down after loosing Jims and she still seems very low and depressed.
I took her to the vet last week to have her eyes checked as they are still goopy, but started looking really sore so didn't want to leave it just applying the Vaseline as i thought she needed more than that to help clear it up, she was given eye drops and cream but the vet noticed that she seemed very low and 'mopey' and said to see if she improves and if not to bring her back.
so today when she didn't seem interested in her dinner i took her back in straight away as all she seems to be doing is going from hay box/litter tray to laying down on the floor, shes not really doing anything and just doesn't seem like my girl.
I have some 'potentially' bad news, she has got slight jaundice in her eyes, the vet was trying to look at her gums but she wasn't having any of it, the vet said that it could possibly be liver failure as she is an old bunny now (10.5) she has prescribed Metacam and Baytril for 5 days to see if there is any improvement and if not i have to go back but because she is an old girl the vet said it wouldn't be fair to put her through loads of tests, i said i would want to do everything possible as long as its fair to her, so fingers, toes and paws crossed she perks up and the yellowing goes as i am not ready to loose her.
