Penelope is now at the vet for overnight care. She will be on fluids and pain medication. She has not been eating much (had some veggies yesterday), not been pooping, has a hard belly and grinding her teeth. The vet doesn't seem to think there is a good prognosis. Her temperature is about 35.6[sup]o[/sup]C, which is a couple degrees below normal.
I am really just hoping she will pull through the night.
IMMEDIATE INFORMATION:
Location: Calgary AB
Description (Breed, color, weight): Lionhead, mostly white, 3.4kg-was 3.6 in October.

Concise Summary of the Rabbit's Condition: She was lethargic yesterday and only ate some veggies. This morning she had mucous poop and I don't think she has eaten during the night. I got a vet appointment for 3:40 today. She is now at the vets overnight for fluids, pain meds and other care.
