Specialists advice was to review the situation tomorrow before making any other plans as by this point Axl would have had 3 days of antibiotics
I suspect we are reaching the point where we are advised that we've nowhere else to go. I'm not sure continuing would be in Axls best interests after all he's been through in the last week if there is no marked improvement soon. If he had been making progress, albeit slow then I would be happy to continue but we appear to be at the same point we were 5 days ago. I don't want him to suffer....or prolong his life for the sake of it.
I can't deny the cost concerns me too - he is insured but we are almost at the limit of our insurance (£1500). To some degre money is no object to making him better, when we got rabbits we knew what we were getting ourselves into with regards to how much they cost! We are happy, and able, to top up the additional costs, But seeing the costs mount up when you are seeing as little progress is hard....especially when there seems no end in sight
Have you been able to visit Axl ? I am just wondering if you would be able to better assess his demeanour if you were able to do so. I have know hospitalised Rabbits who have actually taken hand fed food from their owner during a visit when previously all other foods had been refused.
I hope that things may have changed for the better overnight, but whatever happens and whatever decision you make you have my support, for what it's worth x
