Im shattered.
I took Lily to the vets today, my mistake was taking her to a different practice. She is registered at two sugerys mostly due to location.
I used to take her to a wonderful bunny vet but the surgery is a 20 minute car journey away, it was always worth it to see that vet - but sadly she left. Thankfully they replaced her with another bunny vet and now she has left....
Friday I made the 20 minute car journey, saw a really nice male vet, I was not unhappy with the care whatsoever, but I wanted her to see a vet today for my benefit to see how she was progressing... I took her to the vets which is 5 mins away and I wish I had just taken her to the one 20 mins away..
They approached the care of her from a completely different angle and I ended up crying!!! (what a loser) they wanted to keep her in and treat her on site. They were only trying to treat her the best way they could, and I know they are probably not used to people treating their bunnies at home...
I am not criticising the care whatsoever, but I explained that I wanted to care for her at home and keep her in her environment and with her mates because it just seems to keep her spirits up....
I felt like a criminal refusing their offer of keeping her in and caring for her at home.... I am going back to my regular surgery this afternoon to review her...
It's my own fault for changing practises midway through her treatment all because I wanted to spare her the 20 minute car journey...
I am so tearful right now, sleep deprivation 100% and hormones.... I just needed to 'talk' about it...
