Atticus unwell again but really bad

Sorry to hear Evelyn is feeling ill now too. I hope you don't wind up with whatever it is. Goodness, when it rains it pours. :(

Sending many vibes for Atticus to have his "spring clean." Hoping Apricot is improving too. xxxxx

Oh yea it seems to here, it's never just one thing, although it's my own fault really, I have a lot of animals and a toddler, not a great combo [emoji38]

Yea a big spring clean would be good rn for him [emoji38] thanks xx

So true, kids are little germ factories haha. Yea supposedly this is normal and will continue at school [emoji38] just annoying coz I get so sick all the time [emoji51]

He actually ran over to me for noms just now [emoji7][emoji7] he's still sucking in and I don't think the full clear out has happened but I think him passing bits is making him more comfortable so that's good. I hope he's over the worst of it now. Ima talk to my vet about additional pain meds I think though, because this one was bad and I don't think calpol was cutting it tbh.

I always had to use Buprenorphine with Megacolon Rabbits. Had to use it for JJ recently too as Paracetamol and meloxicam did nothing to reduce the cramping pain.
 
Graciee,
It is always good to know how much pain meds can be given if the normal dosage or medication does not do enough to control pain.
Some narcotic pain meds can slow the gut, yet so does not eating; however here they are impossible to get for home use.
I am glad he is improving Graciee. You are an awesome bunny nurse.

Ahh thanks for this, I'll mention it to William, is that an opiod tho? Coz I have to be really careful with opiods and Atticus :( but I'll definitely talk to William about it
