We had a trip to the vets this morning. It was Marbles post op check, and Maizie and Daisy went for their free health check for rabbit week.
It took me 15 minutes to get Maizie and Daisy into their carrier, and 20 minutes to get Marble out from under the bed, and into the carrier, so I was exhausted before we even left.
So, Marble got checked out first. The vet has to handle her on the floor, as she kicks out if you try to hold her. So there we both are, on our hands and knees, with the lid taken off the carrier, trying to entice Marble to stop sitting as tight into a ball as she could, so that the vet could lift her. We eventually managed it, and all is fine :thumb: she is healing well, and doesn't seem to be bothered by the stitches at all :thumb: So, we put her back in the carrier, and shut her in.
Next up, Maizie and Daisy, who share a carrier, and are little wrigglers.
Maizie first, she now weighs 1.1kg, which means she's good to go on being spayed in 2 months :thumb: eye, ears, teeth, claws etc. all fine. She passed her health check. It seemed to be pretty straight forward, until we tried to get Daisy out, and
Maizie in. Maizie decided that now was the time to climb around the back of my neck, and onto my head :roll: The vet got her down, and put her in the carrier. By now, Daisy was hunched in a corner at the back of the carrier. I had to use pellets to entice her out, where she proceeded to thump at, and scratch the vet :roll: we eventually got her weighed at 1.03kg, which is surprising as she's the greedy one!! She also passed the health check, but she decided that while the vet was checking her teeth, she would have a good chew at the tool they use :lol:
All through Maizie and Daisy's health check, we had our resident Diva aka Marble, thumping away in her carrier on the floor :roll:
So now we are home, it's me who is in disgrace, it's me who is being ignored, and it's me who is on the receiving end of some very, very disapproving looks :roll::lol:
