I don’t feel good. I can hardly hold my head up. Food doesn’t even look good. Mama offers me a piece of banana. But I just ignore it. Finally, mama picks up my limp body. She pets me and kisses me. Life would be good, but I feel icky.
(Mama’s note: Teddy being lothargic was bad enough, but not wanting any banana caused me to panic. When I held him and rubbed him, I found lumps on his lower belly. Yes. I panicked some more and called the vet. Dr. Roberts had me bring Teddy in immediately even though she had to stay past office hours to look at Teddy. Teddy had a blockage in his intestine. Everything I’d read about this said that bunnies in this condition needed surgery and had a very low survival rate. Dr. Roberts that she had a non-surgery treatment (this was May 2000). I left Teddy there and went home a very sad mama.)
