Thumper wasn't well last week as you know, ending up at the emergency vets overnight.
She recovered but took her time about it - as did Coco - they were tired for a couple of days as of course they'd both had a very disturbed and traumatic night with Thumper being repeatedly taken away for tests and/or being fed Recovery. They're getting too old for this malarkey!
Thumper's been okay since but yesterday wasn't herself again :roll:, lying down, refusing most food though did accept a mint leaf, but I did give her some pain relief and luckily within the hour was fine and was absolutely fine all day and since.
They're off on their jollies tomorrow as we're off on ours on Thursday.
As soon as they see the pet carrier they'll fly into panic mode and their stress levels will hit the roof in a nano second and they'll be like that all through the journey and until they arrive at the destination (only about 10 minutes away), but hopefully once settled into their massive hutch they'll start and calm down.
I'm just worried (probably for nothing) that it'll set Thumper off again. Although the boarder has lots of other animals for them to watch and who come to say hello, like cats (oddly enough they don't mind the resident cats and yet go nuts when a cat comes by at home) and chickens. So with luck they'll settle quickly and be fine.
Oh, and Thumper found the leftover peanuts from the pigeons on the patio today before I realised. I don't think she ate many as luck would have it she's a very slow eater and they've had peanuts before, but it's like oh blimey, if you're unwell tomorrow I'll know why!
Please tell me I'm being silly! :lol:
