Pumpkin is back from the vet

[pumpkinandwhiskersmom]

Hi All....Sorry I have been among the missing for the last couple of weeks. Our senior bun, Pumpkin, has been under the weather, and I've kind of been a basket case. She had her vet appointment, and the diagnosis is probable arthritis in her hips. She's between 8 and 9, which I know is pretty old, especially since we're pretty sure she's at least part Rex, and I've heard that their lifespan isn't quite as long as other breeds. Anyway, the vet said that she looks good, and that the issues she seems to be having are probably linked to arthritis. He gave me Metacam to give her, BID, 0.6mL. Wish us luck in giving it to her! Thanks for letting me share!

Hey there.

My girl Muffy was an arthitic bun. She had knee arthritis. There's nothing you can do other than Metacam and ensure they have comfy blankets or a bed in their cage at all times.

Hope your bun is going to be ok!

Aww, sorry to hear about Pumpkin. I hope the meds give her some relief (and that she takes them OK). Just keep her warm and comfy.
