The Bunday Evening Thumps

Gus, "Look, look hoomin! I'm flooped with my eyes open. Bwahhhahahaha, get the carrier, right now, hoomin! Run! Git!"

Charlie, "Maybe the paper is acid-free, but it ain't organic, hoomin!"

Gus, "And it ain't no dandelion-hemp either! And I can look a LOT meaner!"

Gus in the small, frozen moments sketchbook.

Bun evening, Everybun!

We're doing well, the weekend feels boring, naps are great, and we couldn't be hoppier. The Sun stayed behind the clouds all weekend, and the cloudscapes were magnificent.

Of course, the biped insists on hanging out with us, and that's always a downer, but we do what we can.

Best of all, Charlie is keeping up with doing bunny things. Come evening time, we do tolerate the meatball a little better. He keeps bribing us with snackables. Apple and willow leaves, a touch of kudzu, a snacker here, crunchy pellets there. It is mostly to keep Charlie eating. Think of me as her official taster. 

And yes, we do charge for acting as the studio forebunns. Putting up with his nonsense, I mean "art," ain't cheap! 

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

P.S.: We realized, after some deliberating, that we need to explain exactly why we stayed put on Friday and did not run to Blue Pearl or VEG when my hoomin found those bloody pee-snots from Charlie. 

First, we gave Charlie 0.6 ml of Metacam (the dosage for her weight). Then we reported it to Dr. Zellner and asked if we needed to come in on Saturday (Avian is closed on Fridays).

We stayed put because:

• We already knew that with Charlie's condition, bloody urine was a possibility
• At the moment, she was already on Orbax to fight the UTI.
• Her appetite was great.
• She was active.
• Did not show any other signs of distress.
• There was a good chance we could see Dr. Zellner on Saturday (the next day) if we had to.
• We already had a tech-doctor appointment set for M*nd*y.
• We wanted to keep Charlie's stress level to a minimum.

Had we gone to any doctor other than Dr. Zellner, we would have added a lot of stress to the situation. Seeing Dr. Teed would involve at least two hours in the car, an exam, maybe bloodwork, and possibly X-rays.

Any emergency vet, unfamiliar with Charlie's medical history, would have insisted on a full workup, plus whatever procedures they believed were required. 

Now, had Charlie been a new bun with us and we had known nothing about her, that would have been an immediate trip to an emergency room.

Are we out of the woods now? No, of course not. Every day feels like a touch-and-go. This first episode of not overreacting felt very, very counterintuitive. Things always feel like a balancing act.

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Charlie, "Chillaxing ain't for the weak." ;-)

Hellos, Everybunny!

We're doing well - I think. 

Charlie did very well during her bladder expression appointment on Tuesday - she's gained a little weight! Even my hoomin did well with his labwork that day, and Wednesday felt like a day off.

Yesterday morning, we had a few urine discharges from Charlie that looked really bloody and thick snots. It set my hoomin's tiny stubbles on his head on fire. Charlie got a dose of metacam, pics were sent to Dr. Zellner, and panic-waiting for the next pee snot to drop commenced. 

But nothing happened. Charlie's appetite is normal, she's doing all her favorite bunny things, and she's mostly loafing with her tucks out.

We'll speak with the V. E. T. later on this morning. We're hoping this is nothing more than part and parcel of her condition. Of course, we already have an appointment for another bladder expression on M*nd*y, so it may become a quick "look over" visit. 

Right now, we just don't know. That emotional "whatever hair is left on fire" can really stink up a place, so we're hyper ventilating the burrow with "them positive waves." If you have any positive vibes or waves to spare - send them on over, please ;-)

Here's to a very boring rest of the weekend, and we'll keep you posted!
- Gus

P.S.: And we've heard from Dr. Zellner. This is to be expected. We're good for the weekend. And here's to not overreacting. We'll explain more tomorrow. 

 

Polar and Tundra

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves, hoomin? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Like, "Would you like another bunnana, Tundra?"

- Thank you, Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue and Erika!

P.S.: Just imagine some positive waves in your life - like Polar and Tundra, looking for a forever home! https://bhrabbitrescue.org/polar-tundra/

Violet

I'm tellin' you, hoomin - there's a grain of sea sand, or a craisin, or something under the mattress. I can feel it!

- Thank you, Jen, and SFHRR

P.S.: Violet is three months young, and already survived a lot. She came to the rescue with a broken leg, made a full recovery, and is seriously ready to take over your place. She's friendly, affectionate, a free-roamer, and loves to hang out with hoomins. https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2700884&name=Violet
