Nope, all absolutely fine.

So if it was a raised AST/ALT it may be because he has not been eating.

Glad he is coming home

So it might just be because he wasn't eating, as a side effect of it?

He has eaten, drank, pooed and wee'd since we've been home. He must've done about 6 lots of poo in the 40 mins or so we've been back, don't know if he was holding it in at the vets? He is trying to escape the "sick bay" already, so I think I might have to let him back to his normal cage later.

glad he is looking so well!

I have let him back in his cage, he is currently laid down munching on timmy hay.

Welcome home Evo

Wooohhoooo!! Go Evo! I do think some bunnies just hate the vets so much it makes them worse though, When Rhia was admitted last time both vet & I agreed afterwards that she'd probably have kicked it much quicker if she was at home with her Mum. Glad you have your boy home :luv:

I would really not worry too much about those blood test results.

The 'muscle enzymes' also reflect what the Liver is doing and Liver function changes when a Bun stops eating. I suspect should a repeat test be done in the next day or so the results would be 'normal'.

Also, Baytril can effect blood Biochem' so if Evo had been on that then it would have given 'abnormal' results.

WELCOME HOME EVO !!

Thanks Jane.

Oh fantastic news! So relieved Evo's okay.
