Vibes for Daphne

Dad has apparently set alarms on his phone etc for Daphnes medicines and feeding times.

On the plus side, she was just actively looking for food and eating and leaving little piles of semi-normal poos. So its not all bad.

Your Dad is a star !! :love: It looks as though Daphne is coping a bit better now. I am sure that it must be scary for a Bunny when their world goes all wobbly. Although Bunnies cannot vomit they may feel nauseous. Vestibular disease can cause horrible nausea. Some people have found that drugs such as Stemetil or Prochlorperazine helps with the 'dizziness/possible nausea.

Sending more vibes for Daphne xx
 
Stable is good. so is eating. It sounds like she is doing well. Based on your parents dedication to her, you may now be their second favorite child.:D

Definitely helped me!

Topping up the vibes xx
 
Sending lots more vibes for Daphne. I hope she's had a good night, keeps eating by herself and remains stable. Sending hugs to your parents. They deserve to be honorary members of RU :love:

Last but not least, sending you lots of hugs too. You must be shattered!
 
Ah, Jane reminds me, yes...we got Mimzy a bunny version of meclizine to help with his dizziness. It was a little blue pill (no, not THAT one!) and I had to grind it up with water and syringe it in. It got all over his face, must've tasted vile, and I'd quote Yellow Submarine: "Here Your Blueness, have some nasty medicine." Of course he had no idea what I was on about and always got a nice sprig of fresh mint leaves as a treat for being a good boy and putting up with his bonkers mum. :lol:

Loving all the pix of the bunnies. And I get setting alarms for meds, I wouldn't remember half of Jenna's if my phone wasn't filled with them! :roll:

Hoping Daphne continues to improve. xxxxx
 
AM update :

I was sent a video of Daphne looking for food at breakfast time with Phoebe.

They have to leave the run but Daphne does come out to eat of her own accord which is a beautiful sight.

That is very interesting. I never knew about the nausea.

Lovely update.:love:
 
I'm happy with her progress tonight so won't be visiting during the weekend unless she goes downhill again.

She now looks like she is permanently contemplating everything.

Last couple pictures added.... contemplating the taste of the willow & contemplating the best position to go potty.


She's hopping around, having a look at all the toys etc so seems quite comfortable and happy. Even practicing spoofing again with Phoebe.
