I took Gizmo and Daisy to a bunny boarders in Bristol for a few days, while I went home to Bournemouth for my birthday. I dropped them off early wednesday morning, and advised the lady that they have been spending an hour or so together, but only supervised, as i wouldnt trust them on their own yet.
I went to pick them up this morning, and found out the lady had to do an emergency vets trip with daisy wednesday afternoon She'd put them in together, under her supervision, Gizmo had smelt other rabbits, and tried to herd daisy into the corner to protect her. Daisy is normally the boss and apparently didnt like this, and it all resulted in Gizmo biting her on the nose It tore her nose, so she was rushed to the vets, and she now has two staples in her nose So a £20 boarding session resulted in a £145 vets trip!:shock::shock: She had to be sedated to have the staples put in, and she had her post op appointment this morning before I picked her up to have a second antibiotic jab.
I'm a little bit cross she didnt phone me when it happened, but it was clear she felt terrible. Daisy has been eating fine,and both her nostrils seem to be working ok, and she still seems to love Giz very much! they had to come home together in the carrier because I didnt realise there had been any trouble.
What I'm not sure about is, what happens now? How long roughly do the staples need to be in for? and is she going to need to be sedated again to have them removed? Are they still ok to be bonded??
