Hi everyone its been a very long time since i've been online. I've moved house and no longer have internet.
I'll quickly update you all on out latest experience.
Last sunday I had to rush Bangbang to our sister vet clinic (i'm a vet nurse), I was positive she had a blocked bladder. Luckily the vet that specialises in bunnies came in on her day off to see her. And yes her WHOLE bladder was filled with calcium sludge i've never see an xray quite like it. it looked as if someone had injected contrat into her! She had a emergency cystotomy and i'm please to report it went really well. She's making a fine recovery on pain relief and antibiotics and much to her disguist cage rest.
We're trying to sort out her diet and make sure she doesnt have too much calcium. Any advice would be appriciated. I'm in Western Australia for those who don't know so basically no good products come here!
I'm still recovering from what happened i couldnt stop crying i thought i would loose her. She's one tough bunny that's for sure. My bank balance is also recovering! It cost over $800 but man was it worth it. Her bloods showed her kidneys are functioning fineand all other parameters were normal. Just an infection secondary to the calcium.
I realised in the 3 years i've had her i've spent over $2000 on hospital related things, last time it was floppy bunny. So she must have at least 10lives and i hope this is the last scary incident!!!!!!!!! I dont think my nerves can take much more!! Its funny working in an animal hospital i'm always a cool cucumber when it comes to my pets i'm a nervous wreck!
Anyway there's the update i'll pop back in here as soon as i can. Hope everyones bunnies are doing well!
