Young Bun
Just got back from the vets, was only meant to be a routine weigh in, her jabs doing and a quick once over...The vet said shes not looking bad to say shes getting on a bit, to which I said shes only 5 please dont say that! The vet then said that if she was being brutally honest, she doesnt see many rabbits past the 6-7mark and that if you have a rabbit that goes beyond that then your doing really well...
saying that, she said although shes a bit on the podgey side, considering shes lost her mate and its winter so shes not particularly active its nothing drastic...lets look at her teeth....teeth are perfect (thank god)
but it only took a quick glance in her eyes to see that shes got cateracts starting
Considering I was on the verge of reserving a husband for her, I was pretty gobsmacked and the vet said that perhaps it would be best not to stress her out by getting her a new partner, especially if shes feeling old age a bit.
Not sure what to think, but feeling very teary at the thought of my poor bun going blind and feeling her age and thinking about her mortality
Just once I'd like a bun that goes at a ripe old age instead of illness.
