Bunny Dramas

Thank you guys! :grouphug:

i'm so sorry i missed this thread. i am sooo sorry to hear this. any chance you have a paypal account so i can send a little something to help you out?

She's in surgery right now, poor thing! :please: I do feel a bit weird about charity (blame my proud Italian mother, I guess) but if you've been thinking at all about getting something from my print shop, now'd be an awesome time to go for it! :oops:

Our savings and some are gone on this lil girl. She's had a rough go of it, but she's a trooper... I hope the aftercare goes smoothly and inexpensively! She'll be at the vet overnight. But yeah... we may not be getting out of AZ as soon as we'd hoped at this rate... this has not been our month. And all of it's happened in just one month. Rent drama, car drama, vet drama... Ugh. :(

Rule of three so hopefully the bad stuff is over now. Please let us know how she did through the surgery hon. I know the whole BPNet community is pulling for the little bun bun to come through this and bounce (or rather hop) back to full health as quickly as possible. :)

well i hope your bunn-bunn does GREAT. please keep us posted.

Her temps are high and she's not eating, but otherwise she looks good. She has to stay overnight at the vet, and I got to go in and hold her and talk to her for a while after the surgery. I also got to see the gigantic bladder stone! It's the size of a robin's egg, and looks like a slightly crystalized smooth off-green river rock! It's HUGE! They'd have let us keep it if they didn't need to send it to the lab. How that fit in such a tiny bunny, I'll never know! Poor thing!! It took up her whole bladder! :O

I'll know more tomorrow, but geez... she was so pitiful and out of it when I saw her at the vet... She almost made me cry... I know she's in good hands though, http://northcentralanimalhospital.com/ is good people.

good to hear... poor bunny with a stone that large :(

My jaw hit the floor when I saw it... Nobody should have a stone the size of a jawbreaker inside them, no matter what species they are! :petting: And the vet said they've seen an even bigger one in a dog before... just... wow... I wish they knew what caused these things so they could be avoided...

My vet/teacher once took a 2lb stone out of a lab. It was so big it had formed to the inside of her bladder(shape-wise). That thing was softball sized, poor dog.

I hope your bunny-girl does well! Now we pray for pee! :)

A 2lb stone?? :O That poor doggie!!

Daphne's stone looks a lot like a cocktail olive, just a little bigger. Luckily, it was the only one, and no signs of others trying to form. But it was huge for a little bun like her! I am very pleased to say she is now peeing easily and without pain or blood, although she is in an extremely pitiful and grumpy state.

She's still on a lot of medication, which hopefully we can wean her off of soon. 3 oral, two injected. She hates... HATES the little clown collar. I think it's cute, but man... she is not amused. She actually tries to pick it up and throw it on a regular basis. She IS however eating on her own!! She started last night, which is awesome, because force feeding her 4 times a day had been taking up my whole life for the past couple of weeks. She'd fight me every inch of the way, and it'd take forever each time. So YAY Daphne is eating!

I'm actually making something for Cafepress off a picture of her in the collar. I can't decide what it'd say, maybe something like "No such thing as "just a rabbit"" or something about helping a bunny or something... not sure yet. But here's a few other cute pics.

And here's her boys, lending more moral support before the surgery.

I love these little guys so much... we're hurting, but I'd do it again for any of our critters in a heartbeat. I really wish we'd have caught this sooner... poor Daphne... but the important thing is she's not in pain anymore and on the road to recovery. And she is her fiesty self already during medicine time, which is a really good sign.
