Dennis isn’t eating

I'm so sorry Loobers. Is Maple with him at Uncle John's? Just thought if she was, seeing her eating may encourage him.

Sending lots and lots of vibes for your special boy xxxx

She’s with him :cry: x

They said they need to stabilise his pain as the metacam can’t go with the steroid treatment.

They are trying buprenorphine this evening.

Thanks everybun

Sorry if I have missed this, but has he ever had Tramadol ? IME this works better than Bupe’ as it is less likely to cause sedation or anorexia.

Gabapentin is good for neuropathic pain, serious arthritis can cause neuropathy.

I’ll butt out now, who am I to make suggestions to pass on to a very Rabbit Savvy Vet :oops:
 
I know Jc doesn’t go straight down the tramadol route as he says it may work really well for some rabbits and other no effect at all so I think they are doing the rounds. He had some else today, I want to say it began with h but could be totally wrong. The problem is Dennis has teeth root problems and ducts too so they want to try and stabilise him to get to the exact bottom of it but at the moment it’s trying to help him with the pain. He’s such a resilient lad something must be really troubling him :cry:!

I will ask for gab thanks Jane x

I'm so sorry to hear Dennis is unwell and in a lot of pain:(
I really hope the buprenorphine will help him.
Sending lots of vibes!!
