he is lovely isnt he hes my special boy, i love him so much.
watching him run about today i realised that even if i cant save him, ive realised ive done physically everything possible, and at the end of the day thats all i can do.
I'll be devastated if i have to say goodbye to him, but i hope it wont come to that.

we saw his specialist again and basically we had to make a choice.
Choice 1 - it goes away when he is on septrin so keep him on septrin and metacam for the foreseeable future, perhaps his whole life. Theres a good chance he would become immune to it eventually.
Choice 2 - do the surgery that was planned before. He had a 40% survicial chance if we do this. it is very close to the nerve and there is a chance she could damage his nerves and it could paralyse his leg. or it could come back after that. If it comes back AFTER surgery it will get much worse but if it doesnt, it will heal up completly.
I have chosen surgery. Some of you may not agree with this and some may have made a different decision but, he hated med time, he runs away from me whenever he sees me, he bites, scratches and goes crazy when its med time and he would be having septrin twice a day and a metacam once a day and he is living his life constantly on edge, he is getting stressed and run down and his weight yoyos.
I want to give him a chance at a HAPPY life. If he doesnt survive surgery or it comes back then obviously we will let him go but i want him to have a chance at a good life. and i cant watch him slowly go downhill, its "do or die" basically.
He is having surgery in 2 weeks time on tuesday the 14th July. This surgery is costing £450 at least, thats brings his insurance claims to £1300 :shock:

I hope the surgery will be successful for him and enable him to have a better quality of life than he would have being stressed by all the medicating.
hope its successful hun, i think youve made the right choice myself... i definately beleive quality is better than quantity and personally having a rabbit who detests being handled i would do the same thing, i wouldnt prolong a life if it was filled with unhappy memories.
ill be vibing for Alvins RU buddy from now until i hear news about how the op goes

exactly. hes never enjoyedbeing held but he always loved a noserub and a snuggle but now he will lunge if i touch him because he thinks im going to give him his medicenes. hes so agressive, hes always lunging at jelly because hes so misrable.
If this doesnt work i know i wont think " he would still be here if i hadnt opted for surgery" because i know he would be living a sad life.
I just hope it works. im not worried about the GA because this is his fourth time so if he had any heart problems etc we would know by now.
I am praying this works. once its over he can go back to being a happybunny. or, it willall be over and i dont have to watch him hurting anymore

I haven't posted about this for a while but I have been using homeopathy to treat my rabbit.
Last week it burst and he is def happier now! I will post pics so you can see...
Just wanted to say there is hope! It might take some perseverance but it's worth it in the long run...
It helps the body to fight the infection naturally. I have used silicea twice now. Once for an abscess which was on top of the swelling, and laterally to burst the swelling. It's not to say it won't come back but at least i now have something I can do to help it.
I would say try to see if you can find a homeopathic vet nearby to help you, I have been amazed by what it can do! The swelling was huge and very hard and the rememdy turned it into liquid and helped it to come to a head and burst. I know we're always told that it's impossible to burst a rabbit abscess but I have found it to be possible.
I do have to say that it was never diagnosed whether the swelling was an abscess or a tumor but for both options we were told there was no solution and I am so pleased to find out there is!
