Hi guys, sorry to post about this again.
- Location UK
- Description (Breed, color., weight) Sable Marten, probably a lop/Rex cross.
- Age Unknown, she is a rescue
- spayed/neutered? Spayed
- Notes on Fecal and Urinary Output
- are the bunny's poops and pees normal? Absolutely normal, nice and big poos, normal wee, as useless in her litter tray as normal
- When did they last use their litterbox? This morning. All is normal.
- Any unusual behavior? Nope
- Medical History -- has s/he been to the vet or been sick before? She has a residual head tilt. She had a dental last Monday
- Diet - what does your bunny eat? Pellets and hay, at the moment she is being fed up so she is getting lots of fresh, lots of carrots and pear too.
- when and what did s/he eat last? This morning (about an hour ago).
- movement - any unusual movements? Is s/he hopping normally? All fine and normal for Tilly.
- are there any plants, chocolate or other substances within reach? No.
- has the rabbit been outdoors? she lives outdoors but has been inside since the day before her dental
Tilly has been struggling for a while. After looking at all the possibilities we decided it was the teeth causing her problems. She had a dental last week on Monday. Monday night she was awful and we struggled with her. Her tummy went swollen and hard. It was only Thursday that it started to go down and since then she has been fine (although she has been on Metacam since Saturday 28th Nov). Her head tilt got worse due to the GA, but that is understandable.
She is also currently having Convenia.
Problem is she is still fading. She has lost weight, which is not unexpected after a GA with head tilt, and, to me, she just doesn't seem right, although she is lively, eating, happy, perky, and shows no signs of a problem.
My vet (we have just got back), says that either her dental knocked her sideways and she is still recovering, or that all her head problems are catching up with her and she is potentially fading. We discussed blood tests but right now feel its not in her best interests.
I don't know what to do from here. We don't know her age, so potentially this could be old age related.
Anyone else had a residual tilt bunny have a GA? How did they do?
Any thoughts or suggestions? Anything at all? I think I'm going to lose my girl, and I don't want to.
Thanks in advance.
