Ludo... oh dear...
The vet said he's never known a rabbit so bad at the vet as Ludo in his ten years of practice. The irony is that Ludo is easy to handle at home, laid back very gentle, just a slight stubborn streak although he is very very strong and can jump ever so high (part of the problem at the vet!). He just reacts with terror at the vet. We've tried taking things that smell of home etc but they don't help, it's the actual examination part that seems to frighten Ludo. In the end the only way it can be done is if Ludo is cradled in my arms on the floor or between my legs with his head buried and the vet does what he can around that. A bit embarrassing frankly as the vet ends up with his head quite near my legs/bum half the time.
All appointments take place on the floor. The vet said he's so bad all checks should be kept to the minimum. Bad boy! Good news is he now has short nails and a clean bill of health.
Me and my Mum will be filming a video of Ludo at home to prove that no, we don't have the hound of the baskervilles as a house rabbit as when we say 'he's not like this at home' we can see they struggle to believe that he's lovely really!
Here is a picture of this terror:
Me and my Mum were thinking about it on the way home and we think maybe it's just fate telling me that Ludo was meant to be my bunny as clearly he's not that fussed about other people or places :lol:
