Rabbit Update

[badly_knitted]

I just phoned the vet to find out about Misty. He's still refusing to eat or drink, so George is going to try to force feed him in a bit. He needs to be eating and everything before they'll do the surgery, not sure why, but I guess rabbits are not like people when it comes to their inner workings. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that he will be okay and that they will be able to do the surgery soon. I just wish I'd booked him in for a day or two sooner, then he would already have been done. It's just that we all wanted to give him a few days to get over the side effects that sometimes come with the booster injection he had so we settled on Wednesday, 6 days after his booster. Hindsight isn't helpful at all - if I'd known then what I know now... All this is going to eat into my savings. I think I'll take my cheque book!

Sorry about Misty. I hope the vet gets something in him so he can have the surgery. Yeah, I always thought that not eating before a procedure was what they wanted, but maybe you're right about a bunny's insides.

It'll be okay. *hugs*

*hugs back* I hope it will be! The waiting is killing me. I've not heard anything since 10am, which is more than 5 and a half hours ago now. It's not a big practice, only 2 or 3 staff there at any given time, but it's busy and they were pretty well booked solid for this week, so I'm not sure about phoning again, they could be in surgery and there's not always a receptionist - the nurses double as receptionists. I was told George the vet would phone me this afternoon, but there's still quite a lot of afternoon to go. *goes back to chewing metaphorical fingernails*
