Any spare vibes for Peggy would be appreciated. I noticed last week she wasn't nomming as enthusiastically and had to give her a bottom bath one day as she had a very messy bottom. She was eating - or I would have taken her to the vet sooner - but only in a very desultory way.
I took her in this morning first thing and she does need a dental. Although the vet doesn't usually do ops on a Sat he said he will do it today. I'm still trying to get the money together to get Pippa (stray kitten) neutered so he agreed to do the dental and a bottom shave for £50.
I took Sue in with Peggy (they are bonded) and the good news is that Sue has put on a little weight. Sue only has half a kidney working and lost loads of weight and my vet had hinted about imminent PTS. I did think she had got a bit plumper but worried it may have been wishful thinking on my part so I am relieved that it is fact. I know feeding her wholemeal bread (with oats) isn't ideal but it is keeping her weight up and she loves it. She has survived longer than the vet expected so I am going to continue with her rather odd diet (high calorie, high moisture, low calcium).
I have to go to work now but can pick Peggy up at 11.45 am. I just hope she is OK as she is over four and I know buns are a risk under a GA.
Peggy and Sue are former BARC bunnies and send kisses and :wave: to Angie.
