I've got a really tough decision to make: my rabbit or my mum.
The brief story is, Grimlock is really ill with an abscess inside his mouth attached to his jaw. He's on baytril twice a day and it's basically a matter of time as it can't be cured completely. (I'm seeking a second opinion but that's how it is at the moment.)
My mum is really ill and can't travel after having major spinal surgery and I haven't seen her since the beginning of the year. I've decided to go back to university as a mature student and my parents have said they would help me with the costs (they're amazing) and I promised I'd go and see my mum before I go to university on the 21st September.
But then I became aware of Grimlock's illness and I still haven't been to see her. But if I do go I have to take Grim because I'm the only one who can give him his medicine. My dilemma is that my parents live in Manchester and I live in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk and it's an 8 hour journey. I've taken Grim to theirs before and he travels well as long as I'm giving him cuddles. If I'm not he throws a tantrum so I have to cuddle him for 8 hours (not a problem really ). On the other hand I don't want to cause him unnecessary stress traveling and living in a different place for a week, plus the fact that he may not have much longer left and my other half would be devastated if he didn't get to see him first.
But my mum keeps saying how much she's looking forward to seeing me and I don't want to let her down either as the next time I'll have off from uni is Christmas. I just don't know what to do, it's like trying to choose between my child and my mum.
