Rabbit ownership = Stress????

Why do rabbits always get ill on a weekend or bank holiday? And how can molar spurs go from not bothering a rabbit at all, to being so bad that they lead to not eating and not pooping within a matter of hours? :roll:

Anyone else's blood pressure gone up since you got rabbits? :lol:
 
yet again last night i ended up in tears over Pearl and her resistance to take drugs.. its been a long struggle for months now and i fully expected her to be dead this morning when i got up, she got so upset. i got a huge scratch and then thismorning was no better..

i think my blood pressure must be so high now they would be unable to take a reading.

not sure bunnies are the pet for me tbh, im tired and stressed and feel abit of a failure :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: people get respite when they look after a terminally ill person.. theres no break with a bunny
 
Yep bunnies definately = stress! I am hating having mine away fom home at the minute, even though I know Jill gives them excellent care.

Snowdrop always gets poorly a bank holidays or after 6pm! And Bungles nose decided not to come unstitched untill 1pm on a saturday when the vets shut at 12!
 
I'm thinking of getting the vet acupuncturist lady to do me as well whilst I'm there... :roll: Maybe she'll give me a 2 for 1 discount :D

People who cope with seriously ill bunnies long term have my respect and admiration.
 
I have found my blood pressure is up, I have upset tummy through worry a lot and am not sleeping as well as I usually do. I have had a lot of bad luck recently though and haven't had a month yet where I haven't been to vets with a bun with something or another. I love them but I my oldest who is 11, never had a sick day in 11 years of owning him... but then i got others and there seems to be something with one of them (not all of them) constantly. :( I'm off to the vet's again tomorrow... I do feel stressed!
that sounds really negative... they give me a lot of pleasure but I also feel permanently worried/ on edge.
 
Nope less stressed, they relax me, I can imagine if they get ill it's very stressful though.
