Hey Guys.
Jens gone blind (think its gradual, been going for a few months at least but its totally gone now) & shes not coping great so would really appreciate some advice. The problems were having are the following -
* Her & Rhia. They were very loved up before J started loosing her sight, Now shes chasing & nipping Rhi quite a bit. Cant split them because Rhia looks after her & she depends on her, she'd be a lot worse off without her & they get on really well when Jen knows where she is & what shes doing. Have put lots of obsticles in the hutch so Rhia can get away. Any other advice?
* Jen cant find water on her own, I go out and give her a bowl morning, when I get in or before I go out (around 12.30) and evening time and sometimes she wont drink (obv doesnt need it) but then shes always really thirsty the next time I go. Rhia tries to help but Jen doesnt always catch on to what shes doing. Thought about syringing her but she gets so stressed when shes having her meds syringed that her breathing is terrible.
* Shes the most sensitive little rabbit ever and is so easily upset that its really thrown her & shes quite depressed, Tilly-May was withdrawn & nervy when she went blind but nothing like this. Will she get used to life without her sight?
Edited to add, Shes also missing some of her caceatrophs (sp?!) :?
Thankyou X
