It’s been four days since Bunny came back from the vet’s and his condition took a turn for the worse. It was sometime around Chinese New Year when Bunny started showing signs of weakening and deteriorating.  Before that, it was up and down. But Bunny has been aging quite rapidly, getting more frail by the…

I started Bunny on Bioresis (https://www.bioresis.com/) this afternoon. Many years ago, when Daffodil had a huge lump at her armpit, I also gave her Bioresis. I am not sure if the lump reduced in size as it could not be measured, but Daffodil was in good spirits all the way until her natural passing. Only…

There’s been not much change on Bunny’s condition. But I’d like to thank my friend, Emma, for helping me by reading up ways to help Bunny. Emma is the one who reminded me about the drooping head syndrome needing potassium supplementation. Emma also reminded me that Bunny doesn’t have much fat now so he might…

First and most importantly, I must convey my utmost gratitude to everyone who is wishing Bunny well. Thank you so much for your kindness. Second, a big thank you to my friend for reminding me that the drooping head could be due to insufficient potassium (I had not thought of this though I had read…

There isn’t much improvement this morning except that Bunny could hold up his head for a little while compared with the past two days when all he could do was to lie down laterally. Bunny ate his one can of Cindy’s baby food (syringe-fed) and he did call me as usual when I fed the…

Bunny had a whole can of Cindy’s baby food for dinner. There is no change in his condition except that he seemed a wee bit stronger this evening. He was able to push my hand away. But when I took him out to the garden for earthing, Bunny still could not stand up. He passed…

I managed to feed Bunny one-and-a-half cans of Cindy’s baby food this afternoon for lunch. When I fed the other Super Seniors, Bunny mewed, but he was still lying down. I noticed he had urinated from the cage. So I cleaned him up, gave him a quick sunbath and fed him his lunch. During better…

This morning I saw that Bunny had urinated in the night. But he hasn’t changed his sleeping position all night. He seems to prefer sleeping on his right and he is in a lateral position so at least he is stretched out and I hope, more comfortable than before when he would either face a…

After the Gabapentin kicked it, Bunny slept for more than 5 hours. It’s good that he can rest in a comfortable lateral position. But when I went in to check on him, he knows and he would let out a Bunny-mew. I made steamed tilapia for him for dinner, but he didn’t have the energy…

We are back from the vet’s. According to the vet, most likely Bunny has brain and intestinal tumours. This can happen with old age especially with the added FIV+ condition. The brain tumour would explain why Bunny is always contorted to the right and facing the wall or a surface. It is a neurological sign…

It’s Chinese New Year and the vet only reopens today. I’m trying to get a slot for Bunny. He wasn’t doing too well yesterday. Mirtazapine seems to be helping, though, and he is still able to eat. But yesterday, Bunny wet himself on the chair. This morning, he wet himself and defecated right outside the…

Yesterday was yet another day of worrying about Bunny. There’s actually been many of such days, but yesterday was particularly worrying. Bunny vomited his food in the morning. I decided to let him rest before giving any medication as I was hoping it would be a one-off episode. By evening, he looked really frail and…

Bunny had constipation for months before suddenly “switching” to diarrhoea. When he was chronically constipated, I tried everything I know of, and I finally had to resort to daily Cisapride and Lactulose for him. After being “stable” for months, suddenly it switched to diarrhoea and this became a bigger problem. With the diarrhoea, Bunny started…
