Let me tell you - when its time to give him meds - he's definitely connected with his inner warrior.....

Forgot to mention - Art figured out how to fix the frig!!! :D :D :D It turns out that there was a broken wire by the fan motor that sends the cold air down into the frig. He's taken it to work to fix it now so we'll have the frig up and running later today.

I wish we'd gotten rain from the hurricane....but no - it didn't come anywhere near us. (Look up Del Rio, TX on mapquest and you'll see how far we are away from the water, etc).

I've been too stressed out with Zeus' surgery, etc. to think about writing much in here....but I think I'll do a short update. First of all - for those who haven't been reading the infirmary - Zeus' surgery went fine. It was an abscess in the lymph node - she said she got out about a cup of...

As a member of this forum for several years - and a moderator - I feel like maybe in a way it is a good thing this thread happened. I know we've had breeders on here who were unhappy - perhaps they've pm'd other members, etc. about leaving, etc. Now they have a forum they can go to - and it...

I just saw your post on Facebook and tears came to my eyes. Oh no. I'm so sorry for your loss. I had no idea he was ill. Binky free you beautiful boy.

I used to use the stuff they give in IV - but I've been out which is why I used the bottled water (which hadn't been opened before I took some). I will try to see if I can get another IV bag this next week - I've been meaning to do that! I hope the original poster comes back and updates us!

When I give Pen G - I put the Pen G in the syringe and then I add an equal amount of bottled water and shake it together so that the Pen G isn't so thick.

I don't know if you've been reading in the infirmary about Zeus' abscess that turned out to be in his lymph node.....most likely pasturella. The vet wants us to take out his staple on Monday and remove the gauze she packed it with and treat it with honey (packing it with honey) over the next...

Oh no - you might want to go to http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/index_en.htm and search on those infections. I just tried to do that but I'm in the middle of writing mystery shop reports and I'm wiped out so I can barely think let alone figure out which links to go to. Sending prayers and...

My Californians have had their ears and nose markings lightening up too right now. I wouldn't worry about it.

I would say "thank you but I already am working with a CERTIFIED dietitian/nutritonist" and walk away.

I am sorry I'm so late in responding - we got home about 2:30 pm but were both exhausted and we crashed. There was a tiny bit of pus in there but that was to be expected. They repacked the site (and she said that probably over 1/2 of it had scarred up like she wanted) and stapled it shut. On...

When I gave him his meds tonight - I looked at the sutures a bit. It looks like there's pus there....he may have to have it repacked and sutured....which probably means being put under anesthesia again I'm guessing... :(

UPDATE: Zeus is quite alert today and is eating and drinking. I'm about to give him his baytril - so I need to be prepared for his version of kick-boxing. He goes to the vet tomorrow to have the sutures and packing in the surgery area removed - and then we'll see if he needs more packing...
