Aoife is still not eating and no poo. Our Vet is certain that Aoife does NOT have an obstruction.
I have not posted about Aoife’s previous problems over the last few months, but they include an inflammatory eye condition and after consultation and treatment advice from an Ophthalmic Specialist the condition was deemed to be autoimmune in origin. The symptoms are controlled with eye drops .Our Vet believes Aoife’s current illness could also be autoimmune related and *might* have been triggered by the Triple vaccine given last Thursday.
Aoife is an exceptionally nervous Rabbit, probably due to the fact that she has very poor eyesight. She always has. She cannot go in the garden for a run around, she just goes into a screaming ( literally) panic. She will only allow me to pick her up or enter her enclosure.
In view of the above and after a lot of discussion me and our Vet have agreed it would be unethical to subject Aoife to a battery of diagnostics. Some of which would need to be done at The Beaumont in Camden, involving a lot of travelling. Aoife would be beyond terrified.
If we cannot get her through this episode of bloat/ stasis we will have to let her go
I realise some might disagree with our decision, it has not been taken lightly and is based 100% on what is best for Aoife.
