Marshmallow is staying at the vet
.
I woke up this morning and turned on the light to feed the bunnies and she is usually the first one to either pen door but this time Pacey was at his first and Marshmallow didn’t move. So I put her food in her pen she still didn’t move. I went and picked her up and she just went limp and felt cold. The first thing I did was check everywhere for wounds or blood or anything there was nothing. I rushed out to the vet in my PJ’s without a second thought.
By the time I got there she was perked up a tiny bit but not by much she was still really cold to the touch. She refused water hay veggies everything and wouldn’t let me or the vet pet her at all. He felt around her for knots or cuts or lumps anything. So far they have drawn blood, xrays, urine and fecal samples among an abundance of tests. The first thing I asked was is her ear infected (because me I panic at every thing and thought her ear was causing this) and the answer was no that it looked great.
So far they haven’t figured out what is wrong with her I was there from 6 am until about 20 minutes ago. Poor Marshmallow is having all kinds of issues. They are going to call me if things start to look better or worse. I hope it isn’t anything serious and is fixable…. ![]()
oh no- healing vibes for Marshmellow! I know it is an awful feeling to throw on clothes, grab keys, and rush your pet to the vet. Hopefully they will have some answers for you soon- and that is great that she at least perked up a little.

Marshmellow healing vibes to you.. Your family and us here at BB are worried for you. You get well now.
I hope this gets cleared up quickly and Marshmellow is back to her usual self again.
oh, Sonn! I am sending healing vibes for Marshmallow, too! I wonder what is wrong with her… I hope you will know soon, and that it is nothing too serious!!!
Oh no! I hope they can figure out what’s going on!
((((((((((((Marshmallow!)))))))))))
Got a little bit of an update. They still haven’t figured out what is wrong with her. But they got her to eat a little bit of hay and a piece of Romaine Lettuce and some water. She no longer feels cold to the touch except her feet are still very cold. And she escaped from the cage (she is truly a felon at heart). Hopefully they will figure out what is going on and she can come home.
I don’t know if this is normal for rabbits to do or not but Pacey usually won’t go near Marshmallows cage whether she is home or not but today I have found him in there several times (he can jump over the top) and he keeps stealing her stuffed toy and hiding it in his hide box.
that’s terrible! poor marshmellow
any news yet?
Oh, poor Marshmallow. Please keep us updated on your baby.
Oh no! I’m so sorry. Sending healthy vibes your way.
{{{{{{Get Better Marshmallow}}}}}}}}
Sending good thoughts!
She is home now!!! They still couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her to make her cold. But she had 2 back teeth extracted they had grown towards the front of her mouth instead of up like normal. So she is pretty much just sleeping now due to pain medication and escaping her pen as usual (I seriously think I should have named her Felon lol).
I was told to keep her on the antibiotics she was on for her ear and if anything even remotely changes to bring her straight in. But for now she is acting normal just drowsy and cranky. Pacey is ecstatic that she is home though he keeps going to the side of her cage and grooming her face then does 10 or so binkies and repeats the process. If I even attempt to put him away he gets mad tosses his litter box and thumps until I let him out.
Oh, I’m glad she is home, poor baby. Pacey is so sweet to comfort her too.
Good to hear she is home!
i was so glad to get home and read the update! how sweet is pacey?
Glad to hear she’s home. Let’s hope this makes all the difference. Pacey is so cute.
aw…Pacey missed his sweetie. Glad to hear that she is home and that they were able to figure out what was troubling her!
Julie
OH a big Yeah marshmellow is home. Darling Pacey missed her. Glad to hear Marshmellow is on the mend. What a scare.
I’m so happy to hear that she’s home!
Continued healing vibes Marshmallow!
Thanks for all the healing vibes!!!!
She is acting normal at the moment and is sitting in my lap right now trying to eat the keys on my laptop. She goes back to the vet tomorrow for her ear checkup (thankfully it’s free since the vet fee was waaaaaaay expensive for her to stay lol) they are going to check her and should have all the blood fecal and urine sample results back.
Glad she’s back and feeling better. Please let us know what the vet says tomorrow.
Let us know if you have any clue as to what happened. (((Marshmallow)))
Oh, I hope she is all well. And yes, let us know what the vet thinks happened.
How great that Pacey missed her and was doing binkies when she got home!
Ok back from the vet again! All of the tests came back normal nothing wrong at all. This is frustrating! The vet said she could have went into shock and that was the reason she turned cold. But what could have caused her to go into shock? They had even more tests sent off for other things. But yeah came home with a whole lot of nothing lol. Hopefully whatever happened was a one time thing. So yeah that’s the “update”.
I agree that is frustrating. You may never know and it may be an isolated incident unless the other tests show otherwise.
so happy she’s home with her family again… but how weird not to know at all what was up with her.
did you have to deal with the tech that thought “Pacey was the ugliest rabbit she ever saw”??? I hope not!
Yes it is very weird not to know. But I am just hoping it doesn’t happen again for now. No didn’t have to deal with the tech lol she was there but she came in the room once shook her head and just turned around and left not to be seen again lol. Doesn’t matter I know my babies are pretty ![]()
Maybe it was pain due to her teeth. Guess they won’t be a problem now. Can she go onto normal feed?
I make her a mash of sort for now my vet said to offer her regular food everyday at the same time she is used to and watch her if she is eating on her own or if it is causing discomfort. Yesterday she ate a little on her own but was in obvious discomfort and gave up so I fed her mostly mashed food. Today she ate half of her serving and all of her veggies and is munching away on hay now so I haven’t made her any mash to see if she eats the whole serving at dinner time.
