Could you guys please say a prayer for Peneloppy? She was spayed yesterday and is now in the hospital in "critical condition". She was still very much out of it when I picked her up yesterday from being spayed, so I immediately took her to my regular vet (another bunny vet did her at the low cost spay/neuter clinic) and they gave her fluids and I forcefed her last night. Today I woke up, and she still hadn't eaten or drank anything and hadn't had a bowel movement. I rushed her to the vet and they kept her all day, gave her more fluids, and another pain injection. I picked her up because no one was going to be there overnight and I didn't want her to be alone in case something happened. Well, something did happen because when I took her out of the carrier, she had a baseball size knot on her belly, above the incision line. I rushed her to the emergency clinic and they accertained that she has a hairball, a high fever, and the ball is actually toxins that have built up in the bowel. So she's in the hospital in critical condition. The vet gave me that "prepare yourself" speech. If they do surgery to remove the hairball, she'll definitely die. If they wait, she will likely die. Please pray for her, and for me that I don't lose my mind.ray:
