Here is one of Maddy's xrays. It's pretty obvious that huge mass isnt supposed to be there. our vet said it looks as if it is fluid. since he has never seen anything like it, we have been referred to a specialist but they are closed at the moment. ugh. ill give them another call in the morning. i wish i had better news for you all..she took a few bites of hay and quietly layed down. she looks so miserable i feel like a horrible mother...i cried the whole way home. please please please please keep her in your thoyghts..im so scared and upset. ill try and update as information becomes available. for now i will continue with critical care feedings and trying to keep her as comfortable as possible...i want that thing gone!!!

You HAVE to massage her tummy. This is EXACTLY what my girl suffered from a few weeks ago. Stretch out her legs and massage all her sides. If it IS liquid, and probably will be, then she will poop it out in watery stools. That is ok,let her get it all out. KEEP HER WARM!!! Even if she hates you, keep massaging her tum and legs and KEEP HER WARM.I am praying for you both.
ReplyDeleteThat is also GAS. I know it is. Massage that tummy!! Did you give her some simethicone? Did you get some pain reliever from the vet? Metacam?
ReplyDeleteThis is for you and Maddy. This was the prayer sent by Jane in Austin when my Meany Girl was sick. I pray it now for you and Maddy!
ReplyDeleteHail Mary full of grace. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners and for those who do not sin, especially Maddy and all bunnies, now, in the hour of their need, and at the hour of their death. Queen of Angels, come to Maddy's aid. Queen of heaven and earth, come to Maddy's aid. Oh, thou to whom the Angel Gabriel brought the glorious and holy glad tidings, intercede for Maddy. Spouse of the Holy Spirit, intercede for Maddy. Mother, given to us all at the foot of the cross, intercede for Maddy. As we meditate on the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation given by our Lord Jesus Christ, we ask also of him his unfailing mercy and blessing on Maddy and all the livingness of this world. Love is the glory of God and let his favor rest on the loving heart of Megan now as she nurses Maddy and always. Amen
Megan, we are so sorry for what you and Maddy are experiencing now. We have been where you are, and we will hold you both in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteOh Megan,I am so sorry that Maddy is sick,do as Brandi said and massage her tummy and keep her warm and some metacam will help with the pain,we love you both and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers,SPeedy sends snuggles to his girl Maddy,xx Rachel and Speedy
ReplyDeleteI'm with Brandi on the tummy massage, which is good for breaking up gas and stimulating the digestive tract. Has the vet ruled out any kind of blockage going on in there? If there is no blockage, then giving Critical Care is fine, but you don't want to put more food into her if there is a blockage situation; that will cause more trouble. Give her fluids to keep her hydrated. Keeping her warm is also important; if her ears are cold, she's probably cold. We'll be thinking lots of good thoughts for you both.
ReplyDeleteOh get well soon! We are sending lots of get well and positive thoughts xox
ReplyDeleteLove Daisy and Cress the Guinea Sisters xx

Our friend Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny told me about your beloved companion Maddy, and that she is poorly. I'm sending you and Maddy lots of positive thoughts and prayers, hugs and kisses. Get better soon Maddy.

Poor Maddykinzz! She has to be be up and bossing around Speedy ASAP. ((Hugs)) for you and ((Nose rubs)) for her.
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT a bad bunny mommy! Those furry little angels are experts at hiding sickness and injury. They'll fake being healthy and fool us until they're too sick to fake any more. "I don't want to be a bother.."
By way of Speedy and his Mum. So sorry to hear Maddy is sick. Will be praying for her. Also will be saying the beautiful prayer that brandi used.
ReplyDeleteSpeedy told us about Maddy and we're here to send her lots and lots of kitty purrs and doggy woofs.
ReplyDeleteIf it is gas, simethicone will break them down so they can pass easily. Massages help too.
Please be well. Sending you love. AJ
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear what Maddy is going through :(. Please stay strong, and keep us updated. Hugs, Francesca
