Exactly a week to the day after Thumper was unwell. I give up .
Luckily she doesn't seem quite as bad as Thumper was (if you recall I said it looked like Thumper just wanted to pass, but Coco doesn't). Coco is nibbling on hay, has had some output. She's had Recovery, and Fibre Plex, plus 2 jabs off the vet this morning along with Metacam from me first thing. She's still not quite right but shakes when I stroke her as I'm the mean one as I force-feed her meds. She doesn't shake when Adrian (my husband) strokes her.
I'm going to put a heat pad where she seems to like to lie tonight, just to make sure she doesn't get cold (she's not cold at the moment I don't think) and the vet didn't recommend them living in for a day or so. And hopefully come morning she'll be back to normal given that she is trying to eat little bits now.
I love them both to pieces but I'll be relieved when they can't suffer any more, I really will. The stress doesn't do us any good either to be honest. Last week with Thumper I ended up with a migraine for 4 days and Adrian had a sore shoulder for a couple of days too, all due to stress. Add to that what's going on with my mum and his dad and now possibly my son, I've had enough. I go out to them in a morning and brace myself as I don't know what I'll find. That's not the way to begin each day, surely? I've been like that now for a good couple of years and quite frankly it takes the pleasure out of having them a little bit, the initial worry about opening the shed door first thing in a morning.
I've just been out, about half an hour ago, and Coco had moved from her favourite spot which was good but upon sight she hopped back and hunkered down as she's afraid of me at the moment, which is sad .
Hopefully when Adrian goes out in about half an hour (so an hour after me) he'll be able to report a happier bunneh. I hope so anyway.
