What should I do?
I go on holiday in a few weeks, and can't work out how is best to board Mr Fluffs.
Option 1: He used to go on holiday to my Mums, but since we live further away, and now know about his heart murmur/probable arrythmia, I don't really want to subject him to an hour and a quarter in the car. Otherwise that would be first choice as I know he'll be loved and looked after.
Option 2: Last year he stayed with a few girlfriends; they love him LOADS but aren't the most bunny experienced and last time he went he came home with a seriously mucky bum; from over feeding. If I'm fair he was prone to it, the over feeding just really didn't help. He's now clean as a whistle all the time on oxbow and metacam for arthritis so less likely to get messy. I just worry what they would do if something went wrong/whether they would be able to spot it.
Option 3: Stay at the vets. Sometimes they take bunnies in to the resident vet's house, but I've just had a message from the vet sating that as he is so old and on medication, he would have to stay in the hospital as there would be someone around more. Problem being, he is a house bunny well used to his creature comforts and 1:1 attention, and I don't know how well he'd cope.
Any other ideas???
