How does their fur feel? They have this unique sheen, like velvet or swede? I have the urge to rub it on my face? Are they soft? The white ones look like dumplings sometimes! WHATARE THEY?! They're soo CUTE but mysterious?!!
Treating GI stasis is bad for my nerves. Cakepop dropped from three to two feedings of Critical Care yesterday, and her appetite has NOT improved, so she’s making less poop. Tomorrow I am stopping the lactulose and meloxicam and I am so worried that she’s not ready. I’m clinging to the fact that she eats greens consistently, so she WILL EAT.
Her medical team also let me know today that her stasis was so severe by the time she got to the hospital that her liver was involved, which is no doubt slowing down her recovery.
She doesn’t hate her tummy massages, and when they’re feeling really good she licks my arm while I’m doing it.
What does NOT help is that between the meds, feedings, tummy massages, and super close monitoring of every aspect of her life, I’m getting really attached to Cakepop. Not that I don’t care deeply about all of my fosters, but my last bunny was with me for five months and I was happy to see her move on to get spoiled rotten. If something happens to Miss Pop, I will be crushed.
