It's great to see you here, Randy. Thanks forall you've done for Usagi. I'm so happy to hear that he'sbetter. I knew that Usagi was in real trouble and I don'tthink he would have made it without your care.
To the others who read this, I've been checking in each evening withRandy by giving him a call and asking about Usagi. He'schatted and told me in detail how Usagi is doing and what treatments hehas been giving. I met Holly, his wife, when she came forUsagi but I haven't met Randy in person yet. I'm very hopefulnow and anxious to be reunited with Usagi but I'm just as anxious tomeet Randy in person.
When I went to the Emergengy Clinic on Sunday morning I took poopsamples but the vet hardly looked at them. Some weredifferent. They resembled a string of pearls.Monday I put one in water and dissolved out the plant matter.What was left was a white strand that I realizedwas a fiber from a carpet. I had put apiece of synthetic carpet in Usagi's cage for him to lay on.I didn't realize that he was ingesting it.
I scoot him into his cage at night with, "Go Home."He's a smart bunny and picked up the meaning of that veryquickly. When I wake I open his door. He comes andgoes as he likes into a room that I've carefullybunny-proofed. So at night he's in the cage andable to get into any mischief that I had missed, like eating carpet.
Usagi's sickness was likely caused by the carpet; it was my fault. Thelesson is learned and I will be very careful about what is in his cage.
I haven't heard from Thumper's human yet but I know she's having apersonal crisis. Randy tells me that Usagi is getting along great withhis other bunnies so I suspect he'll love to have a girl-friend when hegets back. I'd guess that I'll probably have Thumper before Usagi getsback. Thumper is also black but she has a bit of white on herforehead.
