This is going to sound terrible. I will (try) to make a long story short. Went to the vet yesterday to getShortyand Star some sort of tick treatment. The doctor sold me 1cc (each) of Ivermectin 1% injection - propylene. It is given by the mouth. I gave the buns their meds last night before playtime. They were fine. Bedtime - they got two cheerios. I was up by 4am. They seemed fine. Gave them breakfast by 4:30am. They ate. I went to work. Came home at 9:45am. It was playtime and Star was clearly sick. Ears down. Curled up in a ball.Kind of wobbly. She had a greenish fishy smelling discharge around her mouth. Her eyes looked ok. She tried to get to her favorite spot by the vent for a cool breeze and when she tried to hop, it looked more like a walk. She was clearly not well. It took me about 3 minutes to KNOW she was sick. Phoned the vet and she wanted me to take her in and leave her for most of the day.
I (of course) am SO worried my little funny bunny might die. I am wondering if it was the medication that made her fall ill...? If it was the meds, why didn'tShorty get sick?
I am very, VERY short on cash. My mom gave me $50. I have $87.00, so I think the bill will be covered. This will sound awful, but will they charge me if she dies? The tears just started again when I typed that. I've been preparing myself all day for the worst and hoping for the best. Is Star going to die? I will miss her SO, SO much. Shorty will miss his sister too. He already misses her. He didn't eat his greens this afternoon. I sat by their cage and cried before I had to be at work. Sorry this is so long.
