Right.......I wasn't going to post on here,but I know someone is going to ask how willows bonding is going so I thought maybe it's best to update you all.
Before you read please, please make no judgements of me and the mistake I've made
I'm still punishing myself and will continue to do so for some time I should imagine:evil:
As many of you know willow was due to go and stay at a revue to be bonded, on Sunday morning when were going yo take him he had a slight swelling on eye lid, but as he was 100% fine, I mean literally 100% !!! Alice was happy to take him, by the time we got there it actually seemed better and almost gone!:thumb:
Alice text me yesterday with a picture of willows eye which had clearly got worse plus she found more little lumpy things on cheek, Mouth and whatnot as you can imagine I went into COMPLETE panic mode. Cut a long story short, I had to wait for hubby to come home, we drove up to Gloucester from bristol in rush hour to get him, and rushed him to my vets last night.
The whole time he was still fine, sat eating hay and mint! Expert vet was called in, they were a bit puzzled because he was so well, but the Lumps are myxoids :shockI'm sure that's the word they used?)
They thought he had myxoids but not the FULL blown virus:thumb: chest was clear, not hot nothing on ears or other eye etc:thumb: they sent him home with metacam, had flea treatment (in case ) and told to keep a close eye, he is due back tomorrow for a check unless he gets worse.
They are also going to contact the vaccine company as it's very coincidental that he developed the first symptom 7 days after vaccine, although they said they would expect it with old vaccine but NOT the new one:shock: he was vaccinated Friday 18th October
I barely slept last night, and was dreading going to see him this morning in case he had got worse.
This morning, all his bumps seem the same, except he is not quite 100% in himself almost but not quite! he's very slightly off food, although has eaten so able to have metacam, still eating hay and has nibbled some veg now but doesn't want pellets or homemade treats (which is his favourite) I shall be keeping a close eye on him, my vets is 5 mins from my house and I won't hesitate to use them before to tomorrow if needed.
This is his eye this his eye this morning, I can't really take pics of the other lumps, it's too difficult.
I hope no one will judge or say I thought this might happen:roll: I made a catastrophic mistake and I hope I won't loose my boy because of it, I'm sure as rabbit lovers you can imagine how much he means to me
