Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

So...Blossom couldn't be spayed today...

New Kit
...because Blossom is actually a boy!

I rescued 'her' at 10 weeks old and obviously the rescue got it wrong. Took 'her' in for the check up before the spay and the vet turned 'her' over and out popped boy parts.

So Blossom has been castrated instead and is back home looking a tad sleepy but otherwise ok. Also munching on a bit of hay which is good.

Not sure what to do about the name though...at 6 months old it seems a bit unfair to make him live his life with such a girly name. We were considering Bailey when we first got him which would be ok, although I'm tempted by Bo as one of the nicknames I've been using has been FloBo (shortening of the other nickname Flossy Blossy lol). Other option would be shortening Blossom to Bloss instead. Hmm, what do you think?
 
Oh dear at least it was all sorted. I like bailey but keeping flobo would be cute because he knows it and you already know it
