Jeez, really Clem, are you trying to give me a heart attack???
Clementine decided to loose her s**te today. I split her and Twix up, not for any bad reasons, but because she will not breed and I figured maybe being by herself for a week or 2 would get her system going so she’d be interested in a man again, nope! she started freaking out, running back and forth in the cage, thumping, loosing her literal mind because she was by herself, even though she’s right beside one of her other besties. I yell at her to quit and tap the side of her cage to try and get the message through, because literally it’s not that deep, and I didn’t want her hurting herself. She seemed to get the point and just chilled in her litterbox complaining and thumping away- whatever, she’s not bull through a china shop rampaging, I can tolerate grumpy thumping . A couple minutes later, my cat, who she’s literally grown up around, jumps up on their stand to get to the window behind the cages, because he loves sitting there to watch outside and get the breeze when I have the window up (with a screen down, so he can’t get out lol) and she again looses her s**t and I watched this little psycho from the couch, SLAM into the side of her cage and then flop over and start kicking, screaming, and flailing. I swore on my life one of my favorite nethies just killed herself. I lost my s**t, ran to her cage and immediately got her out, held her, pet her, checked for breathing and heart sounds, thank god those were both there and clear/normal( a little elevated, but not off sounding) . I held her on my bed for a little while so she could calm down after she came out her daze, and immediately put her and Twix back together. She’s been quiet since, no idea if it’s because she tried to check her self out and now
Her dome hurts or because she’s happy Twix (who doesn’t even like her!! 🤦🏼♀️) is back with her. I cannot tolerate this type of mental abuse from my rabbits rn, this week truly has been enough, but Clementine thought otherwise
Soo anyway, any advice on what to do with her for the next few days? padded cell, maybe? Bouncy house? Bubble wrap, styrofoam, and packing peanuts? She’s clearly hemorrhaged or did something with how swollen and red that 3rd eyelid is. I have meloxicam on hand, so she’s dosed up for pain. Do anxiety meds exist for rabbits? 🙈🤦🏼♀️
