Advice on pending vet trip

joey&boo said:

Yeah I switch it around all the time dependent on which buns are ill, which need peer support, who travels badly. I'd love Mouse to have some support from Rudey as she is my most nervy bun but its too risky for him. Most of my buns leap in to my arms from the consult table. Do you think vets have vet nurses to help them during consult?

When I booked them in I said I'd write any concerns for each rabbit & was told no need. I will though, can't see how it could be anything other than helpful.

Urm. I think it said here somewhere about whether anything significant is found during the health check.. I am currently sitting outside Crab Lane vets while Olly is X-rayed - Becky has found"a mass in his cranial abdomen" (most likely liver). I had zero health concerns when I bought him for vaccination. Bloods are also being sent to the lab.

Thanks all for the vibes.



Thank you. The news today is that the lump hasn't moved and Becky's thoughts at the moment are that it's something chronic (though it wasn't there when he had an admission for stasis on 10 March). She doesn't think he is in immediate danger but would like to know what it is in case there is a management plan to be made.

Have you got yours booked yet? I got LOADS of willow on the way back but there's some left if you decide to forage some too! (The lay-by opposite Millstones). I left myself a note reminding me to put my foraging gear in the car for the willow.. and I accidentally left that in the wallet with the vaccine cards ... hopefully the team at CLV didn't think it was an instruction for them to forage.

I hope it can be resolved.

Oh no. That's not good. I imagine trying to get a car repaired is a nightmare at the moment, it was hard enough buying a new tyre.

Olly's issue would appear to already be resolved :shock: I got a phone call late afternoon to say that the lump had completely gone. 2 vets and a nurse confirmed it. It is now thought to have been something in his digestive system after all.

I don't know if it's feasible to sort but I have to collect Olly and companion tomorrow - it might be possible for me to take your bunnies with a bit of planning (and if CLV have capacity). It's not like you can go in with them anyway so it wouldn't matter who was sitting outside while they are in. I'm happy to do it if you want. Let me know if you want to try and work something out. I don't have a pick up time yet, I have to work it out with them tomorrow.

Good to hear Olly's doing better

Ooh, are we invited? It's not far for a daytrip We'll likely be due a visit to OH's family in Burnley by then.

I'm lucky that I CAN walk to our vets if the car's out, wouldn't be comfortable with two bunnies in a Cabrio though :S We also live in the same street as at least three car repair places XD
