Uncle Albert Update

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
To the amazement of Christabel (Vet) and me Uncle A is still with us :D
He has had to go back on to Penicillin injections today as his ear abscess has flared up big time :cry: He is on pain relief meds too and I have to de-gunk the abscess every day.
Uncle A is eating quite well considering half his mouth and lots of his teeth came away with the cancerous tumour. I think he may have the early signs of a liver problem but as long as he 'feels well' within himself we just take things one day at a time. If he were to stop eating I would not force feed him. I would take his refusal of food as him telling me it was time for him to go to The Bridge :cry: No-one thought he would survive the big op' to remove the cancer. And I can honestly say that he has enjoyed a good quality of life in the weeks after the op'. Given that situation over again with another Bun I would do the same and agree to surgery. But for Uncle A there will be no more ops. He is a real star and I love him :love:

so glad hes eating well . thumper says ...ear absesses ..bah..nothing ...take more than that to fell a good old bun like us eh uncle A :wink:
 
He does it for you Jane. He is amazing bunny because you are an amazing mummy. Hopefully his abcess will settle down a bit. Probably bothers him more than having lost a quarter of his mouth. If there was one think that I wish evolution had done to bunnys, it would be allowing them self draining abcesses.
