Ok, so I am obviously freaking out! My 7 month old Flemish giant is losing weight at a rapid rate! I'm really sorry if this has been posted already but I'm afraid she won't make it and I fully intend on bringing her to the vet but I'm afraid she won't make it!
Anyway, about 9 days ago she wighed 13 lbs and was ful of mischief, but then she started losing weight so I tried to feed her more and she's constantly eating so I didn't think too much about because she still had her appetite. A few days later I noticed she still wasn't gaining weight but I figured that Mary was eating her food so I started giving them more food and trying to separate them a little more at feedings and thought I'd give it a couple days. When I picked her up today (which is really weird in itself because she hates being picked up and will kick and bite me) she didn't put up a fight and it feels like she's half of her body weight. And I can feel her little ribs and I feel like crying I'm so upset. :bigtears:
None of my other rabbits are sick. I'm making an appointment first thing in the morning but chances are I won't be able to get her in until Monday, but like I said this is all happening really fast so if someone could give me some advice I'd really REALLy appreciate it. I mean, I don't have kids but this is one of my babies and I really don't want to lose her.:tears2:
