Bobby will be 9 next month. I've had him since he was 9 weeks old, a Dwarf Lop. 6 months ago he got a mucky bot so took him to the Vets to be cleaned up. Bobby doesn't do being picked up, pet carriers or Vets. So it took 27 hours after we arrived home before he would move and eat. I nearly had to take him back! So he now has a mucky bum again. I did say at the time I wouldn't put him through all that again, but apart from nearly being blind and a bit of arthritus in his lower back, he's good. He eats really well, bobs around the garden from one shed to the other (he thinks they are both his), so, do I take him to be cleaned up again or let him go. Bobby has always been extremely clean and this makes him feel miserable and he probably suspects what might have to happen. I need to decide by tomorrow morning. It is so difficult. I've been giiving him Metacam to see if that helps him clean himsellf up, but he hasn't done so as yet.
