Turns out the molar spur was the minor issue. Somehow the vet found a huge abscess in Sweetpie’s jaw and it’s pretty bad.

Just went to visit her, and she’s not doing well at all.

She’s too old for another GA (after the molar extraction) in such a short period of time and she’s too stressed out to go under LA (she might get a heart attack in the process, no way we are going to put her through that sort of ordeal).

She is still not eating much, according to the vets… and they taught me how to inject her with antibiotics to control the abscess, but that is only a temporary solution.

And once I did the injection under the guidance of the vet assistants, Sweetpie went into shock and they had to rush her to the emergency room for oxygen.

She took a long while before she was well again. They say she had a minor heart attack.

I can’t help but think it was my fault for doing a lousy injection job, that I might have accidentally poked her muscle due to her skinniness or something. *sigh*

Even if we do put her through the surgery to remove the abscess, she will most definitely get a recurrence again and again. That’s just the way it is.

And the thing is, rabbits can’t do starvation. Once they stop eating, they quickly wither and…

In the end, I couldn’t bring her home with me tonight. I spent 10 minutes stroking her forehead slowly, hoping to bring her some comfort.

I hope she pulls through this one.
