I'm glad to hear that Chippy is continueing to improve...but like the others have asked..how did things go at the vet?

Thanks for the concern everybody!!
Sorry I didn't update early than this.
The vet says that Chippy is doing very well.
She chewed at the incision a little, but nothing serious. He put a little cream on it and asked us to come back in a week.
He didn't think she needed another injection of Baytril.
No charge for the visit.

That's the best kind of vet visit - good news, with no problems and free too

Good girl, Chippy! You are such a little trooper.

She's been having some weird poops....but that's not really so abnormal.
I think things will settle down as soon as she's healed up completely.

And I think we have a spirit bunny around....
Several times when I look down the stairs,I've seen a black or brown bunny running around.
When I get downstairs, I find all of the buns securely locked in their cages.
The other night when I was sitting in the buns' room, I saw a big black bunny run under my chair.
I reached under my chair to grab a bunny tush.....and there was no bunny there.
I thought it was Tootsie.....but she was fast asleep in her pen several feet away.
All the other buns were in there pens.
Tiny?!?:?
Did Buck send you to look after Chippy?

Jim - I have been dreaming of Tiny lately - two or three nights in the last week or so.
Call me strange - but in one dream - he was actually at your place....even though I've never met you nor seen your place. I'll have to pm you later about the dream....it was so weird - I figured it must've been something I ate....

She'snot eating and drinking normally....and her hocks look sore again, too.
Some thing's amiss....I just have to figure out what.
Her poops got light colored and somewhat smaller....and proportionately less in amount as compared to her intake.
And, she's peeing and pooping outside of her litter pan a lot.....another sign that something is not right.
The surgery site looks really good...and she hasn't chewed at it any more.
It may have been from the stuff DrC put on her stitches last time we were there.
She had groomed it off by the next day, and it may have upset her tummy.
I can't remember the name, but he explained what it was and that it would notharm her.
But, her GI tract is so sensitive that it may have upset her system.
I'm going down to feed them now, ..... and then I'm going to let Chippy out for some runtime.

Chippy had a good run last night.
At first she just came out and laid down. About an hour later she was running around leaving poops and pee all over the carpet. She ate all the little pieces of hay that where laying around the room, too.
Today she seems back to not feeling all that well, though.
I'm keeping a close eye on her.
I just gave her some dandelion greens and she ate them right up.
Now I've got to go feed the dogs and walk them. MrsD is out with her sister for the evening, so I've got the doggy duty.

Thanks, Grace.
She's doing okay.
We've got another follow-up visit at the vet tomorrow evening.
The surgery site looks really good...the little fuzzy hairs are starting to grow back in.
It doesn't look like there are any stitches left, but I'll let DrC confirm that.
Her hocks have healed up...that's always a good sign!
For now, everything seems to be improving....and I pray that it continues.
