I took Walter and Nora in for their VHD last week. They were both a bit calmer this time, although the vet couldn't look at Nora's teeth as she didn't like the idea and the vet didn't want to scare her too much. They were both very good for their injections and weighing though.
When we got home they both seemed a bit stiff, so I checked their cards and they'd both had Cylap. They both had something to eat and I left them in their hutch and they seemed fine the next day.
But Nora's been really grumpy all week. I thought she was maybe taking her time to forgive me for taking her to the vets, but today I managed to give her a little tickle (the most she normally lets me) while she was having breakfast and I noticed a little lump behind her front shoulder. Have just managed to get my BF to help pick her up (she runs away as soon as you move both hands towards her and I'm too slow to get her). We had a look at her shoulder and there's a big red sore bit there. She didn't seem to mind me touching it, but it didn't look very nice. Her fur is all tufty around it where she's been licking it, and I've noticed Walter licking it a bit too. Is this likely to be from the injection? And is there anything we can do to make her feel a bit more happy?
I took a photo as it's so difficult to pick her up normally, and especially atm, and didn't want to bother her, so i'll try and upload it
