How did I miss such a cute little girl! I'm so glad she's with you and getting all of her heath problems sorted out. Good healing wishes~~

Cricket is at the vet today having a recheck on her teeth and will (hopefully) be spayed. This was supposed to happen yesterday, but the vet had an emergency and couldn't do her surgery. I had to bring her back this morning. She was not happy about another car ride!

I'll let everyone know how she is when I pick her up tonight. Thanks to all for the comments and good wishes for this sweet girl.

Good Luck little girl! Keep us posted.

 

[slavetoabunny]

I just the call from the vet and Cricket is doing just fine after her spay. Her dental re-check was great and the doctor said she doesn't have to have any further work done. Her Auntie Liz is going to pick her up at 2:00 and take her back to her house until I can pick her up tonight.

I even have a family that has expressed interest in adopting her. I'll keep you updated. Go Cricket!!

Awwww that's awesome news! I'm so excited for her! She's just so darned cute! I hope she gets a great family!

 

[naturestee]

That's great news! And so exciting that she has a family interested in her already!

 

[LuvaBun]

That's such good news . And even better that someone is interested in her already. But then, who could resist such a cutie?!

Cricket is home and feeling really punky. I put her in her pen and she immediately went into her hidey box and hasn't moved. I just gave her a dose of metacam and put a dish of apple-banana critical care mush in her pen to tempt her appetite. I'll be keeping a close eye on her.

 

[myheart]

Poor little Cricket is probably having a more difficult time with feeling better than when she wasn't feeling well. Too much trauma in such a short time....

:sickbunny:Feel better baby girl.... This should be the last time going to that bad doctor for a while.

Please give Cricket extra cuddles from me.

myheart

Awww I hate when they feel bad. Maybe she'll just sleep it off and be better in a day or two., I hope she's eating her critical care mush! Clover always loved banana baby food mixed with her pellet mush. She still gets a nibble now and then and I swear her little eyes light up!

Give Cricket a nose rub when she's feeling up to it.....

Get well little girl!

Aww I'm glad Cricket's spay went well....

I hope the little girl perks up a bit soon! Poor thing, she has been through a lot....

Give her gentle noserubs and kisses from me!

Cricket is finally turning the corner. I was just starting to consider syringing her food, when I walked into the room and she was munching on some veggies. It's taken her way longer to recover than it did for her dental surgery last week.

I'm so glad she's feeling better!

 

[slavetoabunny]

Well, I thought things were better, but she just ate a few pieces and stopped. I just syringed her 6 ml of critical care and 6 ml of pedialyte. She just isn't looking good. She is having tiny, mis-shapen poops. I'll be monitoring her closely.

Poor girl. What is she getting for pain meds? Maybe she needs something stronger.

I have plenty of metacam. I just gave her another dose. The vet is closed until Monday. If she is not better by tomorrow I will take her to the emergency vet. We have a pretty decent one here. I'm hope I am just being a huge worry-wart. I've just never had a rabbit take this long to start eating and pooping normally after a spay.

From our experience some females recover quickly, others take a few more days. I hope it'll just be a matter of another day or 2 and Cricket will be feeling more spry after the abdominal incision. One gal in our family did not eat pellets and greens for 3-4 days post-spay, but would sniff or nibble small hay strands. The vet who spayed her (with minimal or ZERO ssd: pain meds*) suggested I wait until 5 days to bring her back for follow-up care. I was on the phone calling around day 2 or 3 as well.
*The Vet in 2004 had the mindset that rabbits didn't need pain meds for surgery.

Would her plumbing tubes just need more time to re-shape the brown round marbles?
From my personal experiences with dutches, they all seemed sensitive.

Hope this helps, Patti, because I know how we worry when a bun loses their sparkle.

Luna needed to be upped to Tramadol when she was spayed. She was much happier (and eating) after that.

Thanks for the reassurance Julie. Maybe I have just been lucky that I have always had my spays acting frisky by the next day. I continue to keep a close eye on Cricket.
