Only Biscuit went. They aren't bonded yet, so took him on his own.
aaah bless Biccie!

Not my vets who did the spay, its the one Starlights uses :?
It took me 15 minutes to get Biscuit in.
I have the destroyed hand with blood to prove it :roll:

Noah had external as well as internal stitches. We removed them ourselves on rescues recommendation (less stressful as didn't have to go to vet). You just have to snip the stitch with some scissors if it is still tied together, and gently pull on one side. Charlee's stitches were disolvable (but as she pulled them out on day 3 it didnt really matter :roll::lol.
I dread the day when Noah has to go to the vets - getting him in the carrier would be an absolute nightmare. Like Biscuit, he hates being held.

I'm beginning to feel very smug about getting mine into their carriers! :lol::lol::lol: The only problem I'm having is carrying the 15kg of rabbits! :shock:
Did the vet show you how to do Biscuits nails yourself....or is that not possible?
Good luck to Ginger. Mine have all had glue or dissolveable stitches (as well as the internal ones) but I guess each vet is different.

She did, but she said 'good luck if you do try, he's a slippery little handsome devil' :roll: he bit the vet, scratched her and me to pieces, then proceeded to hop around the table afterwards to evade capture :lol: I'd rather pay the £6.70 to let her do it!
She's going in on Friday to do it. Vet isn't going to charge me to have them removed
love my vet. If he thinks she's recovered enough, which she says by the sounds of her, she is, she's going to have her VHD jab at the same time, then give her a week or so to recover...then...:shock: scaredy me time!

Me too (well apart from the 15kg bit as they weight less than 3kg put together :lol::lol
. Although Alfie and Bubbles will probably read this and play up next time. :roll: :lol:
That's a fiver well spent I'd say. :lol::lol:
My vet charges a fortune (£16 I think per bun :shock
so I've always done them myself - usually I beg Lou (Louise and Gus) to come round and help but myself and dd did the job a couple of weeks ago all by ourselves. And we managed not to cut any toes off too.....

omg, my Zeke, he HATES his nails being cut! our vet hates cutting his nails I think, he never says, but I could just imagine him thinking "oh god, no, not that little terror Zeke again!! arghhhh!" but he coes over him and Zeke licks his nose! Then the nail cutting commences and Zeke changes then. :lol::lol::lol::lol:
