Bunny Gender Bender (TMI)

[MedusasOwl]

Well, Unut went into the vet today to get altered, the other two were *very* upset about this. Soon as I walked in from dropping Unut off, Daphne had her ears pricked in my direction with a very intense look like "Where's the baby!!"

I wait up, and it's taking much longer to hear back from them than I was told. DURING surgery they were all "Where's the Uterus?" and it turns out Unut is a boy, but is so young the testes are bitty and hard to find. He would have had to have through the belly surgery anyway, as his testes haven't dropped, but man, what a way to find out... poor kid! Although because he was neutered before they dropped, we get to avoid the whole male dominance/digging/spraying issues of teenagerdom altogether. w00t! However, because they were looking for girly bits initially, his urethra (I so wouldn't know that word if it wasn't for King Of The Hill) got tugged a little and there's a little blood in his pee, but they said that should go away.

Unut's sewed up tummy is about the saddest thing to behold, right now.Poor baby! And he is SO sleepy. He's curled up with his plushie right now in his private cage, being uber groggy. He's high on pain meds, and the thing is to get him to eat. Normally he's a piggie, but he wants nothing to do with it right now. He gets meds twice a day for a week to prevent infection, since his immune system is a bit off -low white blood cells. He's also got to be just him and his plushie for 7 to 10 days in the healing cage.

He already pooped ,but if there is more blood in his urine, I need to call them asap. Few can say they've been spayed *and* neutered. Unut's special! I hope he takes meds as easily as Daphne did after her surgery... *crosses fingers* Here's to a very fast recovery for our little gender bender!

And yes, we're leaving the name the same even though he's named after a goddess. We're all about the gender bending over here. Besides, a Pharaoh named himself after Unut and so can our bunny, lol. Boy's so pretty everybody thinks he's a girl. "Who's mommy's little visual kei glam rocker, yes him is!" Unut sounds pretty gender neutral to those not in the know too, so it works.

poor baby!


How much does getting your bunny fixed cost?

I gotta get my cat done...ive put it off way way way to long

[MedusasOwl]

Cat should be cheaper than a rabbit, rabbit spays usually run around $200 and up not including the pre and post checkup, and Unut's being an inturrupted spay/unplanned neuter all at once was definitely under the "and up" category But she... pardon HE is more than worth it. I was like... 9 or so when my cat was spayed, so I have no idea what that cost.

Poor little guy. Hopefully he'll make a speedy recovery.

If it's not too late to change his name, maybe you can change it to Eunuch. Sounds pretty close to Unut, but now a little more fitting.

Thank you! So far so good, no blood in the urine and he's nibbling some hay!

lol! We're leaving his name Unut, and it's bad enough I'd already been telling people how it's pronounced is like what a squirrel thinks when he sees an acorn. "Ooo, Nut!" Oonut, Unut. Now people are laughing because the way his surgery went it takes on a whole new meaning. But hey, everyone'll remember now to pronounce Unut now!

oooo nuts!!!! Thats what the vets said!!! lol

[frankykeno]

Awwww poor little bun bun. Glad he seems to be recovering well now.

[MedusasOwl]

oooo nuts!!!! Thats what the vets said!!! lol

Yup, that's pretty much exactly what happened, lol!

And I'm SO relieved he's eating! Poor baby, what a day... *spoils and pampers an Unut* I made an icon of him today too. Such a little sweetie...

[JLC]

Poor little Unut! I've no doubt though, that the little darling will recover quickly and completely under your tender care! And gets an awesome little icon for all the suffering!

[MedusasOwl]

Thank you! So pitiful... when Karen came home she took one look at him and went "Oh, poor baby, his eyeliner is all messed up!"

I think I have icons of all my critter kids now... except for Neptune, he needs an icon. (If you're curious, here's my dorky icon collection at it's finest... geeky fandoms and critters, that's me.)
