Misty Is Home!

[badly_knitted]

Finally, I have Misty home! He's still not eating properly, so he stayed a bit longer to be force fed, I had hoped to bring him home yesterday - I think the vet didn't want to give him back ;)

He's a bit scruffy and ruffled-looking (being wrapped in a towel to be force fed will do that to you), and was a bit stressed when we got home, but he's

Oh, I am glad your bunny is home and I am so sorry the poor thing wouldn't eat and is not eating well right now. He's just been through so much and being away from home probably made him not want to eat too. He will probably get better being back with you again. I sure hope so. Oh I hate having to give any kind of medicine to our cats. They fight it like crazy. I have to trick them by hiding it in their food and that doesn't always work. I think the can taste it or they know something's up. They are smart little/big stinkers! Yes! I understand about trying to hold them while giving them meds. It is "impossible" to hold onto Neo! He just slides right out of my arms and shoots away and hides! lol! You can't make that cat do anything. Petey is not a whole lot better either though he usually doesn't fight as hard

*giggles* I think you would have been very entertained watching us! Mum had to hold Misty, wrapped rather badly in a towel (hopefully we'll do the wrapping better tomorrow), they I had to try to syringe the liquid into his mouth. I think I got most of it in - whether or not he actually swallowed it is another matter. He kept turning his head away, which made things difficult. We ended up having to use the vacuum cleaner on both of us afterwards, we were covered in white fluff. I wish I could vacuum Misty, but I think it would scare him.I'll have to see if he'll let me brush him a bit, there's so much loose fluff, it's sticking out in tufts all over him. I pluck tufts out all the time, he never minds me doing that, but he not so keen on the brush, I think it tugs his fur a bit.

Love you back! Hope the storm has passed. *hugs* xxx

I would have laughed for sure watching you two trying to get him to take the medicine. :D I hope you have been able to get enough down to help him the last few days

Don't worry about the acupunture, I've heard from people who've tried it that it's painless, just a bit strange, and it really does work for all kinds of things! Plus, of course, the benefit of no drugs =D

I think Misty spat out most of his antibiotics this morning - not our most successful attempt! We've been doing okay until then. Well, sort of okay, anyway!

YAY!! Best of luck!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you, we need it! We've given him his morning medicine, but we're still not doing well with the wrapping. Somehow he still manages to get his front legs in the way. By the time we get it right, he'll probably be finished with the meds. o_0

Yay bunny's back :-) and its good to hear he's feeling well enough to give you a hard time when you try to medicate him. Good luck with that!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! It's a bit of a struggle, but I hope I'm managing to get at least some medicine into him. Now I just need him to get back to eating properly. He had a fair amount ofcabbage yesterday and a few bits of dried food, but he really needs to eat more. Like me, he doesn't eat much when it's hot, so perhaps he'll be hungrier this evening when it gets cooler.

[badly_knitted]

Heee! I think he'd squirm out. He didn't like being given his meds this morning - rabbits CAN make noises and he was quietly whining. Then when I picked him up afterwards, he stuck his head under my arm like he was hiding. Poor thing. He's not eaten much today, but it's hot and like me, he has no appetite then. Hopefully he'll eat this evening when it's cooler.

Oh, poor little guy. I hope he finally ate something. I know this reply wasn't to me, but I just had to comment. It's so hard to watch your pets hurt, I know.

I'm going to try to move on to more current posts. :)
