I like a bit of acupuncture myself. I saw Christabel do acupuncture on a dog who really seemed to like it.
Glad it went well.

Thanks all- her assessment of Zigzag’s arthritis was so thorough. I was so impressed.
Joey- I keep on meaning to post some photos up, I’ll try to this weekend. Zigzag is in my avatar![]()
That’s great to hear, I’m a big believer in acupuncture for pets.
The only problem is that the acupuncture ideally needs to take place weekly, and due to work and where we are located this isn’t a realistic option sadly.
C said that Winnie was extremely beautiful and unusual looking. She loved hearing that
Does anyone know of an ophthalmologist in Portsmouth? I forgot to ask the vet this!
Thanks
Christabel has given us the option to either go to Optivet or the QMH- where they have a team of ophthalmologists. I was just wondering whether anyone has any experience of both, and rates one over the other? I am leaning towards Optivet, but need to convince my partner to drive there!!
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks
Thank you, we’ve opted for Optivet. It will be like a grand day out, as we will be taking public transport!
Thank you Jane- as you've had so many bunnies and are so experienced I thought you may have had experience of the condition
I agree with you, we'll separate them both after we give her the Optimmune. I really wish he wouldn't groom her so much, but I guess that's love
Christabel is so lovely- she sent a lovely message after I updated her about the appointment.![]()
