There is something wrong with my Marshmallow

[cheryl]

I logged on here this morning to write a post about myMarshmallow,but i just couldn't because i had read about Jess's Ruby,and it just made me feel very sad for her and for myself because i'm going through such a bad time with Pippi as it is

I woke up this morning to find Marshmallow lying on her side and slightly shaking,i thought she was dying,so i quickly picked her up and held her close to me,i sat down for a while, while i cuddled her,she then seemed a bit brighter,so i went to put her on the floor to see what she does,and oh my god she cannot move both of her legs,i broke down and cried because i don't know how much more i can take,it looks like she pooped and couldn't clean herself last night,so itwas all around her bottom,i have just given her a wash,and now i have her in her basket where she has more support,she looks a bit better now than when i seen her earlythis morning,but i can see that she is not quite herself.

I have an appoitment with the vet for later on this afternoon.

My poor Marshmallow,and Pippi

Oh no!! Cheryl, I'm so sorry. :tears2: This month is going from bad to worse.

I wonder if their problems are related?

Hopefully she'll come out of this none-the-worse for wear, same with Pippi. ray:

Hang in there. :hug1

Sas,i have been thinking and thinking and thinking,and i just cannot seem to stop thinking what is going on.

All my original 8 bunnies all came from the same breeder who sold them to the pet store,so they are all kinda related in a way,this person is the pet stores main supplier.

I know one thing,i wish i had never got my bunnies from a pet store,i just wish i had done my research before i decided to get a bunny,but like most people i just didn't think,and now i feel like i have let my bunnies down big time,i feel like it is my fault for some reason.

Nobody can understand just how frightened i am at this moment

It isn't your fault! You are a good bunny mom. Prayers for your bunny's swift recovery.

That's what I wondered - if they have a virus or something - I sure hope things are better soon! We're thinking of you and have been.

Keep us updated. Give them an extra kiss from me please.

Oh honey, don't blame yourself! Is this the hind legs? Because that could also be EC related.

I know you're going through a lot right now, but we are here for you. :hug:

 

[MsBinky]

Is EC contagious? Because it sounds like both the buns have a similar problem...

Oops... Sorry confushed Pippi with the other EC bun. I really hope Marshmallow gets better!

 

[cheryl]

Guys,i'm scared,really really scared,i'm so scared that i'm going to lose all my bunnies,i don't know what i'm going to do,i don't even know why this is happening,i feel like i'm being punished for something,i just cannot think right at the moment

Marshy has not showed any signs of what Pippi has,but that doesn't neccesarily mean anything i suppose.

Angela..yes it is Marshy's back legs that have gone on her

MsBinky..EC is very contagious

I feel like this is just a nightmare and i'm going to wake up and have very healthy and happy bunnies again.

I have a headache,and i have made myself feel sick with worry

Thankyou everyone,i really appreciate the kind words :hug:

 

[seniorcats]

How is Marshmallow today and how are you ?

 

[Bunnys_rule63]

Oh Cheryl, I'm so sorry about Marshmallow.You have been through so much sweetie, I'm so sorry. :hug2:

I'm keeping you, Marshmallow and Pippi in my thoughts and prayers.ray:

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Oh Cheryl, I'm so sorry. This is just not fair. Marsh, Pippi and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope it all works out for the better. Sorry I don't have any advice to offerray::hug:.

 

[cheryl]

Seniorcats,i'm feeling very stressed out,as i still have no answers for Marshy,she still cannot walk,i have her in her basket still,and she is angry that she's in there..she just doesn't understand you know

The Dr is not sure what is going either,and that makes it more fustrating,he prescribed her Baytril in case it is some sort of infection...i just don't know if that's going to help her.

Gosh,if i didn't have enough to worry about at the moment with Pippi,i really would not wish this upon anybody...it's just to cruel.



Jess,your words mean a lot to me,because i know you are feeling very sad yourself withyour loss of Ruby

Crystal..Thankyou..gosh i have been saying over and over that what is going on just isn't fair...and why..why..why

 

[JadeIcing]

My prayers are headed your way.

Did the vet do an ex-ray of her back?

This sounds like it could be a physical injury not something organic.

Hi Roger

After reading your message,i rang the vet to book Marshmallow in to have a xray,Dr Lee was just going to wait for a few days,but i'm really scared now,so she is going in today to have an x ray

Thanks Alishia,i appreciate that very much

 

[Butterfinger]

My goodness, I'm just reading this now :tears2:

Lots of happy vibes and thoughts towards Marshmallow!
Get better soon!! :hug2::hug2:

Just keep in mind that it's definitely not your fault any this is happening :hug: You could never have predicted anything like this.

Again,

GET BETTER MARSHMALLOW! :bow

Oh Cheryl Im so sorry I didnt see this sooner. With all the emotions running this weekend I havent been checking threads like I usually do.

Im wondering if she couldve hurt herself in some way? Does she appear to be in pain or is it more of a loss of motor function in the hind legs? If its the latter it could be ec. I cant think right now but tomorrow I'll try to dig up some of Randy's threads on treating for ec. I would think that if the xray comes back clear it cant hurt to try.

You've been through so much lately. I know how emotionally draining it is to deal with one sick bunny (especially on top of the losses you've suffered) and I dont think Icould deal with two. Howterrible this is. I'll be praying for both you and Marshmellow tonight.

Let us know how tomorrow goes.

sending lots of hugs and prayers your way.
