Dave Poorly - Vibes Urgently Required.

Hope it all goes well at the vet tomorrow. It's horrible when our fur babies are ill and we have to keep giving them yucky medicine. It's great that Dave is still lively and eating.

Thinking of you both.

Thanks guys. I really am stumped with this one?

Hmm, so frustrating for you. Hope he is still OK in himself and you get some answers soon. x

Well we have been to the vets. It is still no man's land. Dave is now on Metacam to try and bring the swelling down. He is still eating like a horse, binkying, flopping etc. She feels that if the swelling hasn't reduced in next 7 days then it could be a tumour. I am praying that that is not the case. Please guys, send some vibes.

So good that he isn't in pain but it still doesn't help that he isn't getting any better. FInger crossed for your next visit to the vet that it isn't anything serious. xx

Glad he's not in pain, really hope that the swelling goes down. Lots of vibes for little Dave xx

Bless him, we have had a lovely cuddle today and watched a bit of tele. He is such a gorgeous bun. I just feel that it is so unfair for a baby to have gone through this.

((vibes)) for the swelling to go down xx

Oh Charlotte, have only just seen this. Poor little Dave

Sending loads of vibes for Dave and hope he responds to his treatment very soon xxx

Poor Dave, I hope perks up and responds, big Vibes

keeping everything crossed for little dave. he's ben through so much already bless him. Big hugs for you both. x x x

poor dave - hope he is better soon - you didn't feed him after midnight or drop water on him did you?

When they operated what did they do, drain fluid or remove a solid mass....I'm suprised they havn't mentioned a biopsy if they think it may be a tumour.

lots of vibes for poor baby dave, im so sorry

It was just thickened skin Sooz, there isn't anything to remove. They are going to do a biopsy if the swelling doesn't go down. But they want to leave that a few weeks anyway as in the last 3 weeks he had had 2 aneasthetics.

So, during the op, what did they actually do....open the skin layers, poke about and suture them closed again....

I don't know if I am just not comprehending the situation correctly but nothing is making sense to me.

Yeah they thought they were going to find an abscess but when they opened him it was just thick skin. They had to stitch him back up as there was nothing to remove.

poor Dave xxxxxxx Hope hes ok

If it's just a swelling/thick skin could it be and allergy related thing? Can rabbits have piriton, I know dogs can, and cats can have a half, could a rabbit have a quarter?

Well the swelling is going down under his chin, but increasing in the side of his face

sending loads of vibes for little Dave

It sounds really peculiar. Is he having any anti-inflammatories at the moment....

yeah - metacam....

blimey- hope he is on the mend. so you can officially say "Dave is very thick skinned" .

Well I took him back to the vets again today. He touched the scab. And puss started to ooze out. Thank goodness it isn't a tumour. There is no choice but to put him under again on Monday and get rid of it. He has had alot of anti biotics recently so hopefully we have caught it before it has gone too far. Please keep your fingers crossed for this truly amazing little baby. Hard to believe he has only been here 3 weeks.
