vet trip with 6 buns today

W

willow and squiggles

Mama Doe
squiggles and willow are due there vaccines so i added the new nethies onto the appointment to have theirs done
Last night at 11.30 noticed buttons eye was closed with gunk on it so i cleaned it with cooled boiled water and gave her some metacam that i had in and it opened up again. this morning theres no gunk but its still half shut so added her on to the appointment. And of course willow, squiggles, buttons and pepe afe a quad so i will have to take pepe along for the journey too. I am going to look like a right "mad bunny lady" getting in a taxi.
I hope buttons is ok my first thought was myxi seeing all the recent posts on it in the threads of vaccined buns. could i have a few vibes please she does seem quite down. xx
 
Oh, I do sympathise. Have had to endure many a mad taxi ride to the vet covered in bunnies.

Mega vibes for Buttons, hopefully it's just an ingrown eyelash or hay ***** xxx
 
Loads of vibes for Buttons. I hope her eye is nothing serious. Also best wishes to you for a stress-free journey and vet consultation.
 
Haha EyerollChamp I really want to know what you put that caused the ***** lol

Sending millions of vibes for your vet visit. I don't know how you can cope.

My carrier is so huge that the driver invariably says, "er... I thought it was a rabbit??" Taking the quad was always fun, can't imagine six :shock:

What time's the appointment?
 
Good luck with the Vets - yes the Vet will be able to remove whatever is in her eye and should then check to make sure there is no damage to the eye itself. Hope she is ok.
 
well back from the vets. I nearly didnt get there because the taxi driver opened the boot and i said i dont need the boot thankyou i put them in with me. He give me such a sneer and said im not having them messing my car. he was still holding the boot open and i looked in an said are you joking with me here because i dont think its funny, he said no im not, looked in boot and inwas tiny and fully enclosed and i said would you put a dog in there and he said yes, well i sort of had a dicky fit, told him to go i would phone another taxi and complain about him, he looked me up and down and smirked so i was really naughty and called him a cheeky b***rd
well the taxi lady was disgusted at him but that not the point i was livid and nearly late. sorry rant over lol..
vaccines went great, she gave buttons the dye in her eye and looked with light and i could see the scratch across her eye myself, plus she checked under her lids and she has conjunctivitis as well so shes on antibiotic drops, isathal they are called and metacam. The vet also agreed im doing the right thing cutting all their pellets way back because they are all chunky except the nethies who are fine. thanks for all the vibes everyone, shes still feeling sorry for herself she must be unsettled she bit the vet and me :oops:

Cheeky ******! I've had a similar issue - refused to put buns in boot, he grumbled but took us there. He was supposed to wait but drove off! Left me heavily pregnant on crutches with two buns in a heat wave :censored: cab firm wouldn't even send another.. Can't wait until we can afford a car.

Glad Buttons is ok, must be a relief to know it's nothing serious :) x
 
thankyou it is a massive relief. he wasnt budging on the boot he thought i was just going to put them in, like hell i was, im still so mad about it, they did send another taxi and when i was coming home i said dont send him again and make sure whoever picks me up knows i have 3 carrier with buns in and they are not going in the boot, she said of course not and i thought why cant all people be like that.
does anyone know how long i should carry on with the drops, i was in that much of a muddle i didnt ask

Why should you have to put up with such morons :roll: That's awful, and must've been stressful as you didn't want to be late!

Anyway, I'm glad it worked out OK. You're brill for standing your ground :D

I'm glad you've got some drops and everything else went smoothly.

Use the drops for a week and see what the eye looks like after that :thumb:
 
I've had more grief from taxi drivers than anyone else - & of course as I usually have a sick bunny I am stressed & emotional / angry. Grrr. I've never had to deal with them being wanted in the boot though - shocking!

Hope that eye (& your bite wound) heal up soon x
