Benji & Izzy - Mini update.

That's good news.

Is Benji insured which is why you don't have to pay or do you have incredibly generous vets who don't charge!

I hope Benji continues to improve xxx

Both

Benji is insured with the vets - which includes EVERYTHING like vaccines and routine, seeing the emergency out of hours vet, to ops, the only exclusion is his cyst as it was there before the plan started, but any treatment on that has 25% knocked off, though they drain it regularly for free. I have saved soooo blinkin much this year!! It's mad. I'm woried they won't let me put any more on - Oh I have to pay Lab fees if tests are sent off as that is a different company, and I have to pay a call out fee for house calls, but otherwise £6 a month - bargin!!!

But then as I am there like all the time (everyday for the past week ) they are really lovely to me, and hardly ever charge me for anything for a bun that isn't on the plan - just meds and things, no consult fees Mike also just gives me stuff, like pots of hibbi scrub, and potassium permanganate, and other simple things - taught me how to take temperatures, what to look at with teeth, lets me take injections (i've noted a lot of reluctance with other vets to give me jabs, until they read the history of my buns having jabs instead of oral) They are really good to me - in return I bake for them

Wow thats a fab set up - and to have two bunny vets to call on too is fantastic.

Brilliant to hear you sounding more positive and im sending some more vibes for you both.

You must feel better knowing that some action is being taken and you are being taken seriously too.

Give Benji a nose rub and a kiss from us.

Yes plans always make me feel better - I don't feel so helpless! I also am not so worried today - Benji is no better, but no worse, he's stayed the same, which for me is a half full glass thing, and also he's home - so I can see him all the time!!

I am glad you feel more positive

What a brilliant arrangement with your vets - I do envy you.

Fingers crossed Benji responds to all his meds xx

Well I shouted at mike today (in a nice way) He was going to drop the baytril - I told him Nooo he had to follow the plan!!!!!!!! - Plan seems to be working - he's so much brighter - won't eat anything but fresh veggies - he's not 100% himself, but we seem to be on track - he's got the same 3 jabs until monday - when we're back again to the vets, and lucky for me Richard (the plan initiator) is on call this weekend - ohh the stress relief is HUGE!!! I just hope this sorts him out!!

So glad to hear that the plan seems to be working. If he is eating fresh veggies at least he is getting something inside him to keep his little body moving bless him.

Fingers crossed the little love will continue to improvem, ill be thinking of you both x x x

its soooooooooooooo hard when you dont know what to treat for ...you are just working blind and hopeing you get it right .. i was the same with Hope ..

hopefully today there will be some improvement ... fingers crossed xx

Well I was happily going to update you, to day that Benji has been doing much better, and is scoffing his veggies - However I've been soooo focused on Benji I now discover Izzy is not acting right - I wondered if she was sleepy from he sunshine, so I shook the treat jar, and she slowly hopped over and had a treat, holding 1 paw up so I worry she's hurt her paw, but I don't think so, I took her temp - it's 40.5 Have started a thread for her now

Im glad Benji is feeling better, I wonder what on earth has been wrong?? X

I'm struggling so hard today, my poor Benji has lost one whole kg, he's so weak, and wobbly, I hope the test results give me an answer, I need my boy to get better. He's so much brighter and doing better with his eating, but I just can't believe how weak he is now - He didn't move for a whole 12 hours on sunday. He can't get up the floors anymore, so he stays on one level - I'm gutted for my boy it's so heartbreaking to see him so weak

Oh honey im so sorry to hear Benji is not doing so well. Its good that he is eating though hun.

Im thinking of you both and im Sending so many Vibes for the little man.
Fingers crossed the tests come back with some answers. x x x x x x x

Benji seems to be getting worse with his mobility - i can home from work and watched him struggle for ages to sit up - I got down to help him and he was laying in his wee - He just wasn't able to get up out of it or even close to a litter tray - he can move, just not very well. I rang mike and he suggested to put him back on the pain killer and see if that helps. my poor boy. I love him so much, seeing him so weak is heart breaking.

Here's a video of Fudge stealing all the baby food for Benji!!! (sorry it's upside down )

OH IM SORRY HE SEEMS WORSE ... I CAME ON TO CHECK EXPECTING GOOD NEWS ...

SENDING MILLIONS AND ZILLIONS OF VIBES

I'm so sorry the news of Benji isn't better. A whole kg is an awful lot to lose.

When do you expect the test results to be back?

Poor little Benji. Sending him loads and loads of healing vibes from me and my furballs xxxx

So sorry to hear he isn't doing so well, I really hope he starts to improve soon, he's such a special boy.

What exactly is wrong with him then?

I had expected them back today - maybe mike is a bit busy, but I'll ask him in the morning. We've just got back from the vets - it was the vet i don't like to see, but he gave him a pain killer - and was testing his reflexes, and found a really tender spot on his back which he said means he could of sprained himself but I don't get how - guess we'll see what mike says tomorrow I'm gutted for him.

Honestly Charl I have no idea - They suspect EC, but have sent poo samples to lab for confirmation - am waiting on results, but they have started them all on a course of Baytril coz they are sure that's what it is, He keeps having bouts of satsis, but I think that is being cause either by the EC ir the pain he's in. He doesn't eat much, and he's weak, and now this supposed sprain in his back?!! I don't know - will see what mike says tomorrow, and what the results say. If there is still no answers I may have to visit another vet to get Bloods done!!

I'm so sorry things have been so hard for you and buns recently. I don't have any advice I'm afraid. Just vibes in abundance!

Sending lots of positive and reassuring vibes xx

Sorry that you still don't have an answer to what is the problem. Keeping my fingers crossed that they all start to improve and get better. Hugs to you. xx

Hope Benji is ok this morning xxx

I can't believe the difference the pain killer made to him last night - for the first time in almost 2 weeks, he followed me over the the food box at dinner time, he's suddenly climbing to the top level again and able to get up without any problems!! My poor baby must of been in so much pain - I bet that's what is causing the stasis - All night I've been pondering over him, and wondering if he is sufferng similar to Bertie...... Really want to chat to Jay now so I can put it to my vet.....

Oh poor benji,

Good luck for today hun. If the pain meds have made a difference I would insist on getting some more until they find out what this is. Perhaps they can geive him an xray?

Sending oodles and oodles of vibes for the poor munckin. x x
