cleoleeps,

my heart bleeds for you. unfortunately, it is not always perfect when it comes to having pets. A rabbit with a broken back is indeed suffering greatly. You may want to consider euthanasia to end its suffering.

Sorry for being less optimistic. Just say a little prayer for little bunny and tell him to binky free.

cleoleeps,

u should be reward love medal for such deep passion. if i were your rabbit, i die with no regret. you had try all your best.

the reason i put the link is to show how brave that rabbit despite face the gigantic snake. hope you face like him too. not sure that is good video or not. lastly,death happen to all rabbit. he is consider bless not to die in the mouth of snake. i agree with the rest. maybe you should put it sleep. cut down its suffering and also wont burden you so much in terms of $. the longer he stay in hospital, the more $ u need to spend.

guys and ladies, sorry for the video. recently i watch astro 553 where it shows eagle (predator) catch and eat the rabbit (prey).

I'm agree with Eli. It is a very hard desicion to make...

I can imagine if i'm at ur place, have to make tough desicion for my rabbit. I see more cons than pros if u proceed with the surgery.
But i always believe, sometimes things worth to be trying.... The decision is yours. But we're here, praying for ur rabbit's good....

cleoleeps,

I'm sorry for the pain both you and your rabbit have gone through. I know it's hard to let go when u really really love your rabbit. Maybe u can see & hold ur rabbit for the last time before doctor put him to sleep. at least u hv good memories of him...

cleoleeps,

Sorry to hear what you and your rabbit gone thru.

Here is something to cheer you up.

guys,
i think my rabbit have some sort of flu lah..
dekat dia punya hidung ar macam ada hingus lah i think..

so is there any way that i could treat her?
or just sent her to a vet?

did something funny to my rabbit ytd.i put a mirror in her cage.
i notice she seem occupy and keep thinking got another bunny company her.

anyone experience putting mirror in rabbit cage?

green box

zenix, dont understand the green box.
a lot of poox2 as far as i can guess.

destroy hay box!

Hey guys,

I"m back! I've got good news from Doctor!

So yesterday i made a call to Dr. to check out if rabbit gets better or it was as she expected --> bacteria attacked him and no choice but put to sleep. I was indeed told that rabbit eat and poop normally when he wasn't earlier!

So it means bacteria still not yet happen and what is out of control is the bladder. The nerve for bladder control seems affected by the broken spine. IF the broken secton was 1 section behind, then it would be affecting the bowel already. Means that cannot poop. IF that happened, i had no choice put to give him a shot.

He was good in the ward. Eat pellet and 'shake' hand with the docs and trainee too!

I just came back from discharging him from hospital. About 4 type of medicine given to me. Doctor told me he might recover from bone injury automatically because small animals sometimes are just so amazing to heal themselves provided with good care and medication. But it all depends on luck though.

Multivitamin - liquid
Baytril - tablet - antibiotic for the bladder there
Metacam - liquid - try to help the broken section in the spine
Methycobal - tablet - help the nerve

Doctor told me so many things like the nerve and bone rebuilding things. I understand but i can't describe here.

So now i have to take care of my disabled rabbit, fed medicine every day before and after work. Something i have to commit if i want him to be alive and be happy.

The cost is reasonable. Earlier i was quoted around Rm400 for 3 days. But i discharged him in 2 days. Here's the break down of the fees:

Consultation - RM30
Radiology - RM50
Hospital boarding - RM12 x 2 = RM24
Half body dip (i think should be dip) - RM40
Drugs Injections - RM15.54
Drugs - RM71.98
Lab fee for urine - RM10

Total RM241.52. I was given 15% discount some more.

I'm relieved now despite rabbit is disabled. As long as he's alive and healthy, i can give whatever it takes!

Thanks everyone for listening and giving much support and advice. You guys rocks!!


Here's him!

ooo cleo, i'm so happy to hear that! was a bit worried when u didnt update for a while! congrats! i think u are a wonderful person and a very good bunny parent. ur rabbit is so lucky to have u

btw, ur bunny is a handsome little boy isnt he?

Hensum little boy~ Hehe thanks for the compliment la. I"m not a good pet owner. I never really took care of him earlier. Just let my father to jaga only until recently he got accident. I felt so bad.

Hey im' headache now cos he keeps eating newspaper!! Why??? I gave him pellet and he pushed my hand away

Oh yeah btw, he just pooped like 10 mins ago. Lucky is normal poo. I will help him pee by pressing the bladder later after i finish with my report. Tomorrow meeting nik. Tension. Later also need to feed him medics... I really hope there is miracle that his bone will heal and the nerve will recover... pray, though chance is slim.

hi cleoleeps,

happy for you. i notice your cage setting got newspaper below it.
hmm, not recommend. ppl dont put newspaper but mostly bathroom mat. cant commend much until you show us your rabbit cage.

by the way, are you working or student? if student, still can afford to take care of him 24x7...keke...

to all,
since i introduce mirror to my rabbit ytd, she is so obedient and never grunt. tonight no matter how i attack her or even chase her with broom, she is gentle and obedient. im not used to it. i expect some drama whenever i play with her. im bit sot. if she don't fight, i don't feel normal. and lastly, since ytd n today, she keep wink at me.. i said to myself... "hei this suppose to be man trick on wooing girls"....anyway, it is nice to see my rabbit behave normal..since Mocha my colleague male Holland Lop left her, everyday she grunt..she must be lonely...

cuteness overloads!

thank you. nope, no photoshop done. Its actually Blue instead of black eye.

My holland Lop:

so cute. where u buy this HL from?

congrat cleoleeps

may god bless u for being so kind to ur pet

Thanks friend. Btw, i'm working so can't 24x7. Yesterday midnight until this morning, he never eats again!! Why ahhhhhhh I put food in front of the mouth, he turned away. Water also drink a bit. It seems he's more happier in hospital where he ate over there??? Is it because there are more ppl there take care of him from time to time while i can't do so?

Btw, the holland lop is cute!!! My bf wanna get one. How much is that ?
