Calisto and Demon

[JAK Rabbitry]

I already typed this once. And my computer closed a bunch of random windows on me so not i'm a little bit of the angry. But anyways...

I'm just setting aside a place to post pictures of two French Lop litters i'm very much looking forward to. Both will bef irst time moms, so i'm nervous. Though thats usual for me. I get nervous if they're expecting their 5th litter.

But I have some pics of the parents....


CALISTO

Bred to....

ZIAD

I'm hoping for more chins.


And...


DEMON (a somewhat younger picture of her)

Bred to...

CHAD

I'm hoping for some broken blacks out of this litter. I've had several requests for them.



Sad thign is I planned this really bad. Or didn't plan at all really. I'm going to the MEdina/Berea show this weekend and I won't be here for the arrival of the babies. And that makes me nervous so i'm leaving both does with my friend Gail nearby so she can keep a 25 hour watch on them Saturday and Sunday. She has 2 older kids that will be able to help her. She has bunnies so she's a bunny person at least and I trust her to treat them like her own children.

My mum will be taking care of my dogs, horsies, and the rest of my herd. My poor Spanky(horse) did somethin to his eye about a week ago and I had to call teh vet out for an emergency farm call. She gave me eyedrops and painkillers for hi amnd the swelling went away in like 2 days but then it got all bloody and red and cloudy and I calledt he vet again and she said he has a crazy infection and gave me 4 more medications in addition to he drops i'm already giving him. So inthe morning he has totake (10) 975 mg tablets and 8 smaller tablets in addition to 3-5 drops of two different kind of eyedrops and also a thin line of ointment needs to be squirted in his eye. He gets all the eye stuff 3 times a day and the pills twice a day and he's not allowed to be turned out. I feel bad leaving him but mum said she can take care of him and she loves him almost as much as I do so I think he'll be ok. He's very good about his medicine at least.

So....the end.

[SnowyShiloh]

Ooh what pretty bunners! I love Chad, too. He looks like he could be my Rory's daddy! Can't wait to see the little ones, due in just a few days!

 

[MsBinky]

Babies?! inkbouce:Woohoooo! I'm sorry to hear about your horse though. Sounds nasty... :?

Lol, love the bunny names btw... :devil

Anywho, I wish you all the best and hopefully everything will go smoothly. Luckily you have someone good to look after them. :nodI can't wait to see the the babies... Where's my favorite boy btw?

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

I wsa just playing with Teddy today. He just gets...fatter. Like a softball with legs and ears. I'll have to take more pictures of him tomorrow. He's developing quite a fan club.

I too am very anxious for these babies. Too bad i'm goign to miss the best part! Finding that furball early one morning and mom is all ike 'oh em gee i'm so flippin' tired and I want lots of food'' and I have to count them all and see all teh colors and poke their fat tummies.

The End.

What type of horse is Spanky?

Did they say that the infection is in the tear duct?

I have a LOT of very recent experience with horse eye infection sounding just like this. I'll want to keep updated on its progress in healing if you don't mind.

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

No, the infection is inside his eye. The vet tried to look into it and couldn't even see. Its like, solid cloudy red. Poor boy.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

It's horrible when they are sick/hurt. Is he trying to rub it?

 

[Thumpers_Mom]

They are all Beautimus!!! :inlove: Can't wait to see baby pics!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Oh yeah! the bunners are gorgeous! I can't wait to see the babies either!

Sorry, when I saw about the horse I kept thinking about what just happened with my niece and her pony.

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

Spanky is a buckskin Quarter horse. He's my baby. And no he's not trying to rub it. I'v been keeping a fly mask on him though. He did roll in his stall the other day. But that's not unlike him. He'd roll in anything anywhre, any time. Doesn't matter. When it was super cold in winter and we didn't want ot turn them out for a long time, we'd still put al ead on our horses and take them for a walk and the first thing he always did every year was roll in the snow.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Sounds like my Dakota - he rolls in new sawdust, snow, mud........ :Xright after a nice bath before a show!!!! He's a chestnut QH.

We have a red dunn too! Her name is Pokie.

My niece had a POA and he kept being treated for an eye infection that supposedly irritated his tear duct. After months of treating him and wiping bloody discharge from his face, my sis inlaw took him for xrays. It was cancer. he lost his eye and did well for a few months then it came back. I was there when the vet came to put him down. It was one of the saddest things I've had to go through. We had been working on him, giving him chemo, everything and he was good through almost all of it.

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

Not......the best thing to tell me right now...

 

[Bo B Bunny]

They put off taking care of it too long - if it doesn't heal like it should get the doc to do more xrays. I don't think it would be the same since his was a tumor outside the eye and his eye was only affected because it was pushing it.

That's why I asked where the infection was. Plus he was white. White horses are prone to cancer.


We've also had a horse get an eye infected from what they think was a piece of hay penetrating it. So that's more than likely what you are dealing with.

 

[MsBinky]

:?*Changes the convo to something more pleasant*

When you get back and you are taking pics of the new babies can you take some pics of my favorite softball? I miss seeing Teddy... Lol.

Man I could just picture you coming around and poking their bellies. LOL. Poot Poot!

UPDATE:

Spanky's eye looks better according to my mother, and our farrier came out on saturday to float teeth and he said it doesn't look that bad. So I'm hoping to see a ful recovery from the Spankers.

Bunny update:

Its 10:06 PM Sunday night, I picked up Calisto and Demon from Gail's house around 8 and brought them hoem and set htem up int he guest room. I put Nieveh and her 2.5 week old babies outside inthe rabbitry. They should be alright. I gave them a big box of hay to curl up in too. Callie and Demon still havnt given birth over the weekend. I kept expecting that call ro text from Gail saying i'm a grandma. And when Id idn't geti t I kept texting her sayins: "Babies? They builda nest? Anything?" And Ig ot " Nothing, nothing, and nothing" And I was all like ....sad face.

So its 10:06 now, no babies but Calisto is frantically gathering hay like a freaking maniac. Ten shel ays down and pants. Then she jumps up real quick like something bit her and starts gathering hay. Then takes a rest. Int he box, out of the box, in the box, out of hte box. I think she's goign to have them tonight.

Demon just kind of sits there like a loaf of fat. No nest. No gathering. Just sits there and does nothing. But her belly is all saggy and hard as a rock too, how can she not be prego? I bred her the same day as Callie. I'm about ready to squeeze them both and get the whole ordeal over with.

But I'll keep everyone posted and I promise pics of the babies.

[Bo B Bunny]

Your FARRIER floats their teeth? That's interesting! We have the vet do it. He give them a good shot of ace and puts them in the stockade. Pokie HATES it. LOL!

Glad he's doing much better! I'm sure he'll be fine.

NO SQUEEZIN THE BUNNERS!!! :nonono:

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

Yes our farrier floatst eeth. He's a very talented dude. I always refer to him as ''the farrier'' regardless of what he's out here doing. He's a funny guy.

I waned to make a post at 2:40AM this morning but Iwas too darn tired. I stayed up until like 12AM and then passed out. And all night Calisto was throwing stuff around and making a racket and thumping and crashing. I don't understand how she could make so much noise. And our walls are very thin, and my head is like 3 feet from whre she is sos I had to lsiten to her all night. She woke me up around 230 this morning and I went to chek on her. She ate all her hay and was just spazzing. So I gave her some treats and a pet pet and I went backto bed. It is now 10:45AM and no babbies still. What's wrong with these rabbits?

At least Demon is quiet. She's still not doing anything maternal.

But i'm verys ure both these guys are pregnant, I took pics of their fat freakin' bellies for everyone. OMG there's so much fat.


Jesse's not allowed to squeeze buns? Not even the butt roll?

12:27 PM

Calisto is definitely in labor.

I'm going to try to catch it on video.

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

1:31PM

Callie's backe nd is all bloody. And lays down and then hops up real quick to go into the sitting/birthing position and then grooms her back end for 2 minutes or soand thenl ays back down to nibble hay or get a drink. She's got her nest all made though but I think she plans on having them onthe wire.

I have the video camera ready. I'm kind of excited abou that.
