The phone rang again at 7:15am I was panicked!! The vet nurse rang to tell me that Emily had been playing with her ball.
I went to see Emily at 11:30am (thanks Alice!) and she was very perky. She had a little hop around the medical room she is caged in, ate some food from my hand and led in my lap. She lay flat for nose rubs, played with her ball for a bit and climbed up me for kisses on her nose. She also enjoyed chewing holes in my clothes!
I didn't speak to a vet because he had an emergency come in. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she can come home tomorrow. (The indoor cage is nearly ready).

I just rang the vets to check Emily has been ok this afternoon/evening. She is still perky, eating, drinking, pooping and weeing.
I will ring early in the morning to check she is ok again but so long as tonight goes well the vet will ring me before 11am to let me know when I can pick her up!!!! They said it will probably be sometime between 11:30 and 2pm.
I cannot wait. Please send lots of positive bunny vibes for Emily.

I feel so sick this morning - I think it is nerves!
I telephoned to check Emily was ok during the night - she was.
I am now waiting for the vet to phone and tell me if I CAN pick her up today. I am dreading the bill
but I don't mind paying so long as Emily is happy and well.

Emily has been eating and pooping lots since being home. However, she has taken a liking to sweet things - banana, parsnip, carrot.
I am not too worried because the vet said get her to eat anything while she is recovering and when she is better we can start being strict about what she eats again. We have moved her cage into our bedroom so that she is next to us during the night.
She is not sure of the cage - she keeps rubbing her nose against the dog and cats when they visit her. Poor girl can't wait to have free-run of the house again.
We are so pleased to have her home,
although a little scared of picking her up. She has one long stitched line all down her tummy. Atleast she has had her spay now, so we won't have to worry about her going in for that.
We have to take her to visit the vet On Wednesday and then her lump results should be with us by Friday, or possible next Monday. :?
