Snowball and Mitzi went to the vets this morning to have their matted bottoms shaved, any dental work done and Mitzi was x-ray and bloods were taken.
Their bottoms were quite raw and sore under the matting but they will be much more comfortable now.
The vet gave their teeth a rasp but they were very good for their age.
Mitzi was x-rayed and there is no sign of any tumours, her lungs are clear and there is nothing obvious in her uterus.
They took Mitzi's blood and have sent it off for analysis, I didn't bother with Snowball because hopefully he won't need another op.
So now I have to decide whether to spay Mitzi, I'm really torn as to what to do. There is no sign of cancer, so do I leave her and get her checked yearly, or do I get her spayed and hope she copes with it. At least if I go with the op we know as much as we can about her physical health.
I really don't know what to do, added to which she is a well loved bunny by her 'owner' and I would feel even more responsible if something happened during the op........ its so hard sometimes to know what is best.
