Jack


Well my bunny Jack has been diagnosed with spondylosis...it's where his vertebre is starting to fuse together which is making it hard for Jack to hop around....it's a hard thing for me to have to watch my beloved bunny go through.
Jack is a five year old dwarf lop,and i cannot believe this is happening to him,apparantly it is a common thing in bunnies over the age of four...he's still eating and drinking just fine,he can clean himself still.
He's on metacam twice a day,i have no trouble giving it to him as he just licks the end of the syringe....i don't have to hold him to give it to him...thank goodness as i just hate stressing him out,he's dealing with it the best he can...much better than me...i have cried lot's of tears,as it just hurts me to see what he's going through.
He's not doing so well today as it seems he is struggling a bit,but Jonathon who is Jack's vet said that i shouldn't worry so much about the way he is hopping,as long as he's eating he will be fine.
He's sitting in the loungeroom at the moment with Ebony,he's cleaning his foot.
Jack has also lost some weight and when he was at the vet he was weighed and he's just 2kg
