Just now got off the phone with her vet. She's had a stasis or paralysis of the intestine, which sometimes happens in bunnies. Sometimes it happens to bunnies who are cage-only and get no exercize, sometimes it happens to bunnies who eat carpet or something else they shouldn't have, and sometimes it happens for no reason at all. As Miss Hoppy is only in her cage for the litterbox and has free run of (most of) the house, it's not the first, and she tends to just rip up the edge of the carpet and leave the threads in a pile for me to discard ... so we don't know why it happened, but she's got medicine she's taking at the vet's, and I am allowed to bring her home if I can give her the medicine at home. I suspect it will be easier for us, as Miss Hoppy does trust me to hold her, and does NOT like them to!
I will be picking her up right after work, and I am sure we all (Hoppy, Paul, myself and the vet's staff) will feel better. When I call, they always say "Well, she's certainly feeling fiesty!" That's my bunny!
