Hello friends
Paul took Mr Snuffles our remaining bunny to the vet this morning as apart from his legs not working properly, the urinary infection has returned. Obviously I am worried sick.
The vet has given us another course of baytril which can be taken with metacam and his glucoasmine arrived today too.
However, if the urinary infection does not clear up within 10 days and he becomes lethargic and off his food, it will be time to say bye bye. We would do this anyway but at the moment he is eating and drinking very well. The vet’s words were however “He is living on borrowed time.”
I really don’t know how I am going to cope but I know I have all of my friends support. God only knows, we have all been through it at some time. He was bought from a pet shop in 2003 (when I didn’t know any better) and he was £10. The best £10 I have ever spent. He has been through everything with us, a lot of hardship and anxiety and has survived all his companions. Snuffie is special and it is going to be so hard. He has even become the bunny I have always wanted, and he now wants lots of fuss and cuddles. He cuddles right up to me at night. My darlings, could I please have some vibes for Snuffie and I will let you know how he gets on.
Many thanks and lots of love.
Jo xx

Thank you for all your lovely messages. He has had a bath today and he really seemed to enjoy the warm water on his little tummy and underneath. He is now wrapped up in a towlel on my pillow in my room. The vet said it was al right to bath him as long as he doesn't get cold afterwards. I really think he found it soothing.
I will keep you updated.

Glad he enjoyed the bath. You two get to do some good snuggles after, which is great therapy for both of you!
