At the moment I am due to be going to the inlaws in Essex on boxing day and staying for a couple of nights. My parents are going to be popping in to see the buns twice a day while we are gone, which in theory is fine as we have owned bunnies my whole life. However, we have never really had poorly buns that needed treatment (we are talking over 10 years ago since I lived with my parents) they either died or got pts.
Well now I have 3 buns on meds,
Minky eye drops and metacam for Glaucoma
Dexter Flagyl, Baytril and metacam for pasturella/eye removal
and now as of this afternoon
Poppy Baytril and Flagyl for snuffles.
I showed my mum them and their treatments today and she said she was fine about it, since then I went shopping and came home to find poppy with white snot over her face and grubby paws, a quick trip to work and a dose of Flagyl and Baytril.
Poppy is a NIGHTMARE to get meds into, she is 4kg of grumpy bunny and Minky bites when she has her eye drops done and I just don't trust my mum will do them right.
My dilemma is.... how do I tell my inlaws that I don't want to visit them at christmas because my bunnies are ill? They already think it is a big joke that I have 11 and treat them like I do and spend money on them etc. I can just feel a massive family arguement coming on, I haven't even told my husband yet. They are going to be totally pee'd off when I tell them I am not going because my bunnies and their health is far more important than christmas with the family.
