so we've got a Fizz update! on Monday I got a call back from the vet that said the radiologist had responded. They thought they saw an abscess and so I was recommended to the rabbit dental expert. Called and set up the appointment and we went in on Thursday. The vet looked Fizz over and the...

ah, thank you JBun. Short of the recent eating issue Fizz has always been a very lively and interactive rabbit. I don't want her lifestyle to be decreased in any way that would take that from her. But I don't want to give her up yet either. So far the specialist hasn't gotten back to my vet...

thank you for being straight up with me. It's what I'm so very afraid of. I would do almost anything to keep Fizz with me. She's my little heart holder and has been for almost seven years now. But I would never put her through the trauma of surgery and recovery and then have her living a...

I don't mind chopping food up into smaller bits at all. I think Fizz would adjust pretty well to that since her favorite treats are tiny sized squares of papaya already. If I had to syringe her every day multiple times a day for the rest of her life I don't think she'd do well with that at all...

Thank you Niomi. It's really rough to have our babies going through this kind of thing and I'm sorry you are too. I'm glad that you've got a solution that gives you more time with your Netherland. In Fizz's case they're talking about taking out ALL of her back teeth. They say the roots on...

yep! we've got her on meloxicam and Fizz is currently stress eating (just like her mother) so I'm not worried about food intake currently lol. I've ordered the apple banana which should be in tomorrow but she's been getting the 'small animal papaya' because it was the only thing I could get my...

I should clarify, the incisors are fine its the molars with the roots

sorry I keep forgetting the reply button so we just got back from the vet. It wasn't a sinus infection. This vet did some x-rays. It looks like Fizz's teeth all or mostly have overgrown roots. Seriously overgrown. The specalist is going to call me tomorrow but it looks like they might all...

HOLY CROW! It's the pain medicine! Or, what's wrong with her isn't the pain medicine but putting her on a full dose of the pain meds has her acting almost like everything's fine. I just waved a green leaf lettuce leaf in front of her and she VERY emphatically RIPPED a chunk off and ate it -...

thanks for sticking with me through this. We made it through the night and she's still hopping around, albeit a bit less, acting like everything's fine. We got about a dozen straggly poops last night and she was drinking water just fine on her own. She's still fighting the feeding though the...

I've got the meloxicam. Fizz sprained her knee a while back (from scratching too vigorously as far as I can tell). The vet had me giving her 0.3ml once a day before. I did ask him about pain meds and he said he didn't suggest it but it wouldn't hurt if I did. He just said it might upset her...

ah, good! I am glad I'm not just being paranoid. I've had Fizz for over six years and I feel like I know her well but I've also been going to this vet for even longer and he's always been so good up until now (except recently they've expanded and he never seems to have the time anymore). He...

so we've got an update. Fizz has stopped eating. Or she'll pick up and chew a piece or two of something (mostly hay or parsley, she won't touch her pellets and I'm limiting the papaya treats I give her) but she's not really eating so much as sampling. Took her to the vet and he put her on...

oh thank you! That's a relief to hear. Fizz is usually so mellow, she lets me play with her nose without an issue, so the jerking away was new and alarming to me. I was worried something like a piece of hay might be in there and if it worked its way up instead of down things would go bad. I...

the title reminds me of when I worked at a daycare with small children. Anyway - hey there! Usually I just lurk but we had An Incident and I'm a bit worried. The night before last Fizz woke me up in the middle of the night with a sneeze attack. It was just continuous sneezing for a good...

okay, update: I ended up giving her the meloxicam because why not? And got another syringe of water in her. About two hours after that I went in with the syringe of critical care for her second dosing and she, in sheer self-defense I'm sure, ate some of her favorite treats I'd left out. Well...

My little lionhead Fizz isn't eating. She doesn't seem to be in pain if laying all stretched out and chill is any indication, its just that I can't even tempt her with her favorite treats. Her stomach isn't swollen or hard so I don't think its gas. She lets me pretty much touch her anywhere...

just as an update, Fizz is day three off the medication after I talked to her vet. She is doing fine and bouncy and living her best bunny life - and now her mama is too. She's still making the joint noise pretty regularly when she moves but she doesn't react to it when she does and the way she...
