Boof is Sick! :(

:( Boof has been acting weird the paste couple of days. he cant blink his left eye, he drools and just yesterday he has started having trouble eating. we have to put eye drops in his eye every couple of hours so he doesnt do any damage to the cornea. he has an appointment with the vet today in about 3 hours. :eek: i am worried for him. i looked it up on the net and i think he has a problem with his molars. that can also cause the eye problems. he will probably need an x ray today and then get his teeth filed down. he would have to go under a general anesthetic. :eek: hopefully we have caught it early, otherwise there could be an infection caused by the problem teeth and that brings a who lot more problems!!!

Boof (and I) could use your thoughts and prayers during this time.

thanks.

oh, and if you dont know boof, here are a couple of pics.

Prayers headed Boofs way. I hope all goes well at the vets.

well i just came back from the vet. they shoved a thermometer up his butt :eek: . poor little guy. his temp was good so no infection. he put this dye in his eye that changes from orange to green if something is wrong, but that was fine, it also drained out his nose, so his tear ducts are not blocked. he doesn't think it is the teeth cause he didn't seem to be in pain. boof has a fat lump next to his ear that may be pushing on the nerve that controls blinking. he referred us to a rabbit specialist. he also stuck a needle in the fat lump to see if it was an abcess or something, but no fluid came out. anywayz it doesn't seem to serious just yet, hopefully the other vet will be able to give us some answers. i will keep you updated.

Will keep Boof in my prayers,hopefully it isn't anything serious.

hope they can do something for him.

Oh Sarah and dear sweet Boof. Hugs, hugs, and prayers. I hope this will find you with good news to share. I love you Boof. Benny sends his prayers to you as well. Benny sends his Boofy brother a nose nudge.

We'll still be thinking of you, Boof!

Maybe take him to a different vet, a bunny not eating is very serious.

How's Boof doing today? I've been looking forward to seeing a Boof is doing better post. Good wishes are still coming your way.

Well we found a rabbit specialist place that we are taking Boof to on Saturday. They said to just watch him for the next week, and if anything major happens we can bring him in earlier. Boof is still in good spirits though. Thanks everyone for your concern. i am really touched.

Is he eating and pooping okay?

Hi Sarah and dear Boof,
Boof I have been thinking about you all day. I sat upstairs and held Benny in my arms and told him all about you Boof.
When Snowy died Benny wouldn't eat, not even parsley and dandilions. I took him to the vet and got two meds. One to increase his eating and the second to force feed him with. Luckly after two and a half weeks he decided to eat again. He missed his Snowy so much.
I went to the store and bought Benny all his favorties and had to hand feed him. It was worth it to see him well. Be patient and do watch that his poops are round, and plump not dried and tiny. He should also be eating his hay. Good luck, keep us posted. Hugs and kisses on that sweet nose Buff. My prayers are with you.

Prayers for Boof to get back to normal really quickly!

Hope Boof gets better soon! :(

thanks again everyone. boof is pooping alright, but he is starting to have a little trouble eating. he cant pick things up in his mouth properly. like his fa choc drops. if we put them on the floor he cant pick them up. we have to hold them for him while he eats them. he is still acting chirpy though, which is good.
