Morning all,
I'm a rare poster but long time lurker on this list.
Today I had to post though.
Yesterday we found out that one of our bunnies, Chalk, has been nominated for a 'Brave Pet Award' by Vets Now who have treated her.
Chalk has been every bit a medical miracle since just after we got her in 2007.
In May 2008 she got very ill incredibly quickly - our vets opened her up and discovered she'd had an abscess in her stomach burst causing peritonitis - we were told she wouldn't survive the weekend. She did and recovered well, then had a reaction to the stitching material and abscesses popped up all over her stomach. Another op later and different material and she recovered well.
Since then she's been lively, happy and mischievous like all happy bunnies.
But every few months she has a recurrance of abscesses that cannot be explained.
In total she's now had 12 different operations under generals.
Earlier this year she has had 3 ops for dental abscesses and an amazing op to remove 12 marble sized abcesses from her liver.
Again we were told she was unlikely to make it, due to her will to live and some superb skills from Great Western Exotics she has come back stronger than ever.
She's the only bunny to be nominated for Brave Pet and my wife and I are doing all we can to rally the votes.
If you could spare a minute to vote for here there's two ways you can do so - you can actually do do both if you wish:
Either on Vets Now's website: http://www.vetsnowreferrals.com/bravest-pets-swindon/
Or on Facebook by liking her picture: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.441020349279028.102696.155679414479791&type=1
Thanks very much in advance!
Steve
