Hey everyone...I hope your weeknds were lovelyand very fatteningheheh/themes/default/cooking.gifWellour little babies are going to the vet on Thursday and I was justwondering based on teh iffy vet posts that have been on here what Ishould be expecting. How do I tel if teh vet knows his stuff? And whatdo I do if he doesn't? Do I have to pay? ANd I know I asked thisearlier but we are limited by transport so the only way to get therefor us is the bus (luckily its only one bus though!). I hope Honey Bunand Cooper won't be too stressed cause I'm scared that they are justgoing to come home and be in shock. Man do I feel like a big wimpyconcerned mom already! LOLOK and nextquestion. Our babies are doing good but I was just wondering if itsnormal for the bunnies to pee on you? Does that mean they are finallygetting comfy? We let them run around in their play pen at least acouple of hours a day but then we also let them sit on the couch orwhatever with us for an hourish but that always seems to involve thebig peeing adventure and even tonight with towels on our laps theymanaged to 'get us'. LOL its actually quite funny...I think they aresaying "thank you for treating us so well, so here we will sharesomething with you!" lol I really don'tmind it because pee is washableand liveable, I would much rather know my babies are happy and healthy(the latter we will find out on Thurs.). Has anyone had experience withthis? Other than litter training them is there anything else to do? Weplan to train them when they are a bit older so they don't feel likethey are bad if the don't do it.Ok Iwant to add something too. I work at a health food store and thisrepresentative from a company came to hand out samples and demo somethings and she started talking to me about this Silver Solutions andhow it can help almost everything. Well at first I thought she was justseeling me something but then she said how it is sfe to use with petsand how it can heal infections, cuts, mites, and all that stuff...theycan take it internally or externally too. has anyone heard anythingabout that? I wanted to get it cause it sounds like something thatshould be in every rabbit owners cupboards but i would hate to be theone to test this out with my sweetheart. Has anyone heard of anyproduct like this and has anyone even usedit?Well I guess I have wrote quiteenough so any help ANY of you have would be great and thanks inadvanced!!!!
many a question...

going to the vet can be stressful for both youand the bunnies. trust your instincts with the vet, they are yourbabies, and no one knows better than you. you will probably have to payno matter what, you can ask before your appointment.
Both my girls are quite ticked at me after avet visit, andKweli doesn't eat for the rest of the day. The best way to tell aboutthe health of your bunny, are it's eating/drinking habits, and mostimportantly, poop. write down any questions you have for the vet so youdon't forget to ask when you are there.
as for the peeing...start training them now! if you don't, they willnot understand that they shoudn't do it except in their litter. and beconsistant so as not to confuse them.
i hope everything goes well for you and your bunnies,
ps-please use paragraphs,

Ok, seriously now...
I agree with Nicky, start litter training NOW..it may take them sometime to get it still, but put the pan in whatever corner they use mostand put some poopies and such in there now.
As for the ride to the vet, if they are used to the carrier that willhelp, putting a blanket or a familiar item in there will helptoo. I have one that likes to ride in the front seat with mehe's in the car so much...doesn't even phase him and never really has!
As for the samples of stuff, its really hard to say without knowing the name of it...but I'd be pretty leary of trying it!
Good luck with the appt!

erin as much as I hate to say it ,but I found your post really hard to read without paragraphs, and myeyes are only 33 yrs old.
With your buns weeing on you , I'd pop them in the litter tray whenthey do that, if they look like they are backing up and crouching andthen lifting their tails, pop them in the litter tray. When trainingBindy I would put her in the litter tray as soon as she came out of herhouse to play.
As for the vets, I agree with Nicole, write your questions down, Iactually have done this and the vet just chuckled and said ok "what'snext on the ask list?" She thought it was a great idea.
For the samples, I'd add it to the ask the vet list.

Try putting the litter box on the couch withyou, that way it's easier for the rabbits to get to it and they shouldcatch on rather quickly.
