Nutmeg is much brighter today. Even eating hay! I grated apple and carrot into the hay in his litter box (at the clean end) I picked some willow today and will be making some willow balls/chews at the weekend.He now has a crisp box to munch on and two different types of hay as well as some treats to just get him EATING!
I wouldnt have taken on a rabbit if i couldnt afford it. As i said before getting insurance for buns and being truthful isnt always easy.
I guess i came home from the vets annoyed at the two xrays in a month and all the meds which i still had. I will speak up next time. Although when i enquired about the basic cost of the dental thats when the nurse said "if i cant afford a dental bun adopt/rescue centre etc". red rag to a bull.
I have another rescued bun who is frankly FAT. she is now on the correct diet and hopefully losing some weight although she is a big bunny. I have been at the same vet for years. In the last 5 months i have had 2 emergency call outs, (Why do they always get ill on a weekend? )
2 dentals,one other treatment for another rabbit and 2 visits for infected cat bites to my rescued male cat. I now have to go back next week with same cat for vaccination boosters and ive been there so much they must think i want a job there!
Im sure they pay the staffs wages out of my vet bills alone.
Thats what i get for taking on rescued rabbits and cats with problems.
I am always a sucker for the wee ones with problems, but i wouldnt have it any other way. Just wish vets bills werent so ridiculously high! I guess i just wanted to let off steam with folk with the same worries. Thanks again.
