When it rains ...., *UPDATE*

it pours here

On Tuesday evening Austin went into gut stasis - luckily Kim and Jon was visiting so Jon was landed with the role of childminder and Kim and I rushed Austin to the vet. Thankfully he seems to be doing well, started to poop at midnight last night and eating unaided. Hopefully he'll be able to return to The Hairy Mob in a few days time. In the meantime I'm still injecting metaclop and administering fibreplex.

Yesterday evening I found Norman lying twisted, The Hairy Mob were acting very strange and I couldn't get them into the shed. I took Norman straight to the vet who seems to think he is suffering from neurological problems relating to a possible previous bout of EC. He's been given a steroid injection which has magically restored him upright, his appetite has bounced back but he could have another wobble at any given time. I'm bricking it. I have a steroid injection to administer should he go down again. I'm to keep a close eye on his water intake and an even closer eye on the volume of wee he produces.

On top of that, Imogen is having problems at school with her teacher.

It's all go here

Really sorry Vickie, I hope Austin is going to be ok, it's awful when they are ill ( Rosie can be as fit as a fiddle and then it's off to the vets)

How about if you go to school and have a word with the teacher?

Sorry to hear the buns are ill, hoping they make speedy recoveries
I hope you can sort out the teacher issue too, if this helps, I had problems with a teacher when I was at school. She used to pick on me in class and I'd get sent out for ridiculous reasons. In the end I built up the courage to tell my parents what was happening (I was very timid as a child...who'd have known!!) so they went in to sort it out. The teacher stopped the nonsense and seemed to be very embarrassed evertime she had me in her class. I hope she's ok x

Thanks guys. I'm pleased to say Austin is coming good, I'm due to give him his last Metaclop injection tonight, he's eating unaided and munching hay. All being well, he can return to The Hairy Mob on Sunday.

Norman isn't fairing too good. Although he's eating I discovered this morning he has a wet bum which smells of stale wee The last hour he's gone very quiet, the steroid syringe is ready and waiting.

I'm going to see the teacher after school today, she cancelled my appointment scheduled for yesterday. I'm armed and ready for battle.

Laura - the same thing is happening to Imogen. She didn't tell me, 3 mums, on separate occasions asked me how Imogen was as their kids had told them

I am so pleased Austin has improved, i wish all buns were as easy to syringe as he was, he is the perfect patient I really hope Norman improves, poor guy, did he have the 2nd steroid injection this evening? Sending huge healing vibes and nose rubs to them both and huge hugs to you, you are doing everything you possibly can hun

Come on Norman.................get well for your bunnymum please Glad Austin is feeling better

and as for the teacher...............................give her what for!!

completely agree! Teachers can be so horrible Hope Imogen is ok

Do you know what..... i had trouble from my tutor when i was at school. I was moved after my mum went down to the school. This particular idiot teacher has just requested me as a friend on FB! I don't think so matey!!

Oh my god how bloomin dare they!! some people eh

How are Austin and Naughty Norman today? Lynx and Amber asked me to pass on nose rubs and healing vibes

Austin is looking right miserable, think he's more than ready to return to The Hairy Mob.

Norman has had his bum washed and blow dried and is presently stretching his legs in the bathroom.

Teacher apologised profusely when I confronted her yesterday. My task this week is to boost Imogen's confidence in the hope she'll be ready and willing to return to school after the half term break.

Glad Austin is better and Norman is stretching his legs, is he moving about ok?

I should bloomin well think the teacher appologised I really hope it hasnt knocked her confidence stoopid teacher, sending Imogen big hug

Thanks Kim.

Yes, Norm is upright, hasn't moved about too much but has managed a bowl of pellets

Soo happy, i hope its uphill from here, its bad enough having one poorly bunny but to have 2 is just stress on a whole new level Jon said to me last night...i think that Naughty Norman is a fighter he rang me from work to find out how he was doing...didnt ask about Lynx and Amber, just Norman and Austin!

glad to hear Norman has eaten his pellets
