Rabbit Update - The Sequel

[badly_knitted]

So, new update. I just spoke to vetinary nurse Rhiannon, and Misty is out of surgery and awake. They're coaxing him to nibble some food and things are looking reasonably good. He's staying there another night so they can keep a close eye on him, just to be on the safe side, but I'm to phone at 9am tomorrow and hopefully he'll be well enough to come

Yay!!! Me and the fur kids are doing a happy dance.

Thank you! I would be too if I had any energy left! I'm feeling somewhat frazzled. I'll be glad when he's home.

Yay for Misty :D I hope he's home safe soon, and that the worry is over for you, hun <3

I could happily go the rest of the year with no more worries - I'm sure this has taken me over my stress quota for the decade! It'll be a relief to get him home, even though he'll have to go back next week for his post-op check.

knew he could do it!!!! my four four-legged-friends here in BA send him hugs!

[badly_knitted]

All hugs gratefully received, I'll pass them on to Misty tomorrow, even though it means I will be smothered in white fluff - again! How can he lose so much fluff and still be so fluffy?

Is it normal "fluff" loss? lol! My cat, Neo, loses tons of fur at the vet's office. It just falls off without touching him. It happens to him because he is so scared. It never falls out that fast any other time. He HATES going to the vet! He meows the most awful wailing sounds while we are driving him there. lol! Poor little guy.

Yeah, normal summer fluff loss - he's moulting, losing his winter coat, which is daft because he always waits until July and in recent years our hottest weather has been and gone in May!

Yah for good news. Here's to a speedy recovery.

[badly_knitted]

Amen to that! I want him all bouncy and stuffing himself as soon as possible! There's a reason he's so heavy - though he's not overweight, just a good, healthy weight for his size. He's a big boy!

Sounds like my cat, Neo, well usually. Right now he is a bit thin being a very hot July and August + he lost a bunch when we were on vacation that week in June. Our cats were fed by Michael's brother, but I think they missed us. I am afraid to ever leave them too long. Cats hate change and I think they got depressed. Petey started sleeping up closer to us in the bed once we came home. I worry about him more because he only has 3 legs and even though he acts like he is "top dog...I mean cat!" so to speak, I think he is more needy than Neo. Oh, Neo always fattens up in the winter time and even though he is a short haired cat, his stomach and fur sticks out and he waddles when he walks. I call him my little fat boy. lol! :D He doesn't really get that fat,...and like your rabbit, he is just a "Big" guy, and mine has short legs and is so is adorable to me like I am sure your rabbit is to you. Did that make sense? lol

I think anything you rub on the skin can go into the blood stream, so it's always best not to use too much. Plus, where you're applying the Lidocaine, that area the skin is very thin and blood vessels are close to the surface so you're wise to be cautious. *hugs*

Huzzah! Great news, indeed! :D

[badly_knitted]

Yes it is! It's a tremendous relief to know that tooth is gone and the rest are trimmed so he's comfy.
