Re: Growling rabbit!!

Thought I would update for anyone who was interested (sorry for the double post >.<) that Rini seems to be doing alright. The banana thing didnt work so I resorted to feeding her the meds with a syringe. The vets didnt want me doing this as they said it was easy to overdose so I didnt really wanna start doing it that way but she was eating and therefore wasnt getting any meds, which is way worse. So I decided to give her the 6 drops of meds she's meant to have in 2 parts. 3 drops first thing in the morning, and 3 at night. I really doubt she could overdose this way but I keep an eye on her to be careful and she seems to have been ok with it.

She has started eating abit more, veg, hay and a little dry food, I also saw her take a huuuuuge long drink the other day too which was a relief as she hasnt been drinking much either.

She isnt licking her toe anymore after jumping around so I do not think the fracture is hurting her anymore or at least not as much. Hopefully it is healing the break by itself.

I have a re-check at the vets tomorrow probs just to tell me how long to give her the meds for. They will probs want another xray at some point down the line but I would doubt it would be healed yet so theres no need for an xray just after a week (they can probably feel whether it's healed/healing anyways).

Not really looking forward to taking her as she has been getting really stressed out the last few times, and I dont want her off her food even more again. I am worried she isnt eating much but I'm not as worried as I could be as I know she is a little bit over weight and has some extra weight so she can afford to lose a little without being unhealthy. But I do hope her appetite picks up soon.

Well anyway, I just thought I would update Thanks for the advice and such

Re: Growling rabbit!!

Aw, glad to hear she is doing well. That's great news that she's eating. Even if its not very much, as long as its enough to keep things moving inside her. Sounds like she's on the road to recovery though.

Re: Growling rabbit!!

Yeah, I'm so glad! Took her for her re-check and the vet felt her foot and told me that it feels like it's healing and that I should try stopping the meds which will no doubt bring her appetite back, obviously if she shows signs of it hurting I can give her some more but it's looking like she isn't going to need anymore and she doesnt need to be taken back to the vets as its obviously just gonna heal naturally in time

She's having an explore on the landing and in the bedrooms at the moment XD lmao I'm having to sit at the top of the stairs with my laptop XD Lucky there isnt any trouble she can get up to in my mams room XD

But she seems fine so I'm glad ^.^ Thanks for the comments ^.^
