I always take both bunnies to the vets together - even if only one of them is having treatment. This has always stood for all treatment - even when Fern was put on a drip when she had stasis problems the vets (a late night emergency one, and then my normal one the next day) thought it would help for Charlie to go too.
Fern is going to the vets tomorrow for some dental work under anaesthetic - mostly burring off spurs. Its a new vets (the specialist one I was recommended), I called today to check that it was OK to take Charlie too and they said no. The receptionist said that they don't recommend it as often the 'healthy' rabbit will attack the other one when he/she comes back from surgery as they smell different! Even after a v lengthy conversation along the line of 'erm, Charlie couldn't attack his way out of a wet paper bag let alone attack Fern!' his final answer was 'well, its your choice but thats what we recommend'.
What do you all think?
The vets is about a 90 min drive from me, Fern hates it in the car its as much for the car journey as anything. But I'm dropping her off on the way to work and picking her up ont he way back - can't really take Charlie to work with me!!! (However, much I'd love to ).
Help! I'm already worried about her as she's gone all moody and lethargic today so her teeth are obviously stressing her!
