Penelope injured leg :(

Just come on for an update and am pleased to see Penelope is coping. Continuing vibes from Bertieville. xx

Yea she's doing a load better than I thought. Tbh I was worried it would all be too much for her, she's a lovely bun, but doesn't like being picked up at all, and she can be quite unsure if there's a strange noise or you don't announce yourself and talk to her so she knows who you are [emoji38] so I was concerned she wouldn't be okay with the extra care, but she's doing brilliantly. So hopefully after the op I won't have to pick her up either which will be a bonus, because Clementine was really good at taking all her different painkillers after her knee op, I never had to worry about hurting her legs by handling her, so I'm hoping this will be the same. Fingers crossed anyway! Tramadol doesn't taste very nice so bit worried about that one [emoji38] x

She probably has very poor eyesight, Aoife is exactly the same xx
 
I'm glad Penelope seems to be coping well!! ❤ I am eternally grateful for Luna & her willingness to take medicine, even piriton which is minty. she's very well behaved. always makes it easier, and Ori has actually learned from her!!

Yea she relies on Apricot a lot tbh, my normal vet said Penelope is blind, Apricot doesn't have great eye sight, but she's definitely got some, she's very confident [emoji38] I think it's a shame these types of buns suffer so much with their eyesight xx

Yea it's always easier isn't it :) Clementine used to take tramadol and Baytril like it too, which I've never understood... Emeprid though, she likes to spit out back at you [emoji38]

uggh don't, Snoopy had a knack for sharing his medicine with me :mrgreen: rank, quite honestly. he was so wriggly so I'd end up in some weird position having to use my head to keep him from wriggling, didn't have enough hands. I always felt sorry for him. its how I can indeed confirm metacam is sweet, and most others are disgusting :lol: medicine time with snoopy was some weird arm yoga ngl!

Ori won't take anything but metacam tho, doesn't like mint. if I give mint herbs, he pees on them. I always have to take luna out to feed her a few pieces of mint as she quite likes it, or demon pee bother runs in to show his disgust
