Wise Old Thumper
vet thinks snowball is almost fully grown and he's older than we thought
(which is interesting because it's something i have wondered about and actually discussed with someone not that long ago)
when he went to the vet in feb, aged (what i thought) was about 5 and a half / 6 months old, he weighed 1.3kg
when he went in april for his neuter aged about 6 and a half / 7 months old he weighed 1.6kg
when he went today aged 7 and a half / 8 months he weighed 1.55kg
i spoke to the vet about his weight when she said 1.55 (i was concerned that he hadn't gained much weight in the last 3 months) which is when she told me he was 1.6 when neutered (i didn't know that until today)
the possibility of him being older was discussed
(have to add, don't think the vet we saw today was rabbit savvy, even though we were at the rabbit savvy vets. because she didn't know there was anything other than cylap available for vhd and also said myxi should be given every 12 months, she even admitted that i seemed to know more about the vacc's than she did!)
does anyone else think that a weight gain of 0.25 / 0.3 in 3 months isn't a lot and he might be older? or is it just my imagination being fuelled :lol:
