So I take it that Dr. Stanzione is ok with taking in Cappy along with Shades for the procedure so that their bond doesn't suffer? He's so great, isn't he?

I wish you luck!!! Hope all goes flawlessly and Shades won't have to go through this stuff so often anymore. You're such a great bunny mom, spending all day out just to get them to a reputable vet. :hug1

Yep when I asked, the receptionist said absolutely and they'll keep them both together except during the procedure of course. I'm hoping Shades won't be as stressed with Cappy there. Cappy, however is a different story, she'll go completely nuts as she is very unsociable! Ithink I'llschedule a check up for her also since she's already there.

Thanks for the well wishes. After hearing from Kitty, Cindy and yourself about Dr. Stanzione, I feel very comfortable that she will be in good hands. Also when I Google him, it's all about his work with rabbits, so that's very reassuring. The things we do for our kids.

I just realized that it's on a Friday, I hope I don't get stuck with the shore traffic over the Tappan Zee Bridge. Ugh!!

Wow, me too. Toby ruins the blanket? Ok. I spill tea on the carpet. "GASP! Why? Why were you drinking tea on the carpet?"

You know, I think the weirdest part was that the reason he was there was because his dog had an abscess on her back. At one point the vet had to open the wound, the dog was literally screaming, and the guy was just sitting there leaning out of the door, staring at me and Chloe!
There was another girl there with two bunnies, and she like made eye contact with me over weirdo's shoulder. What a jerk.

And yeah, when it comes to dating a pet crazed person, my boyfriend's pretty awesome. He's even woke up early on his days off just to drive me and Aiden to his vet.

Wow, I think I would have freaked hearing my dog scream! Poor thing.

We were at pet store last year in PA. They hada couple of rabbits for sale. This lady was there with her child probably no more than 3 or 4. We were all looking at the rabbits and the mother said to her child, "Look rabbits, mmmm.... yummy. Mommy loves to eat rabbits." My husband and I were mortified! I tookhis handand gently push him toward the exit b/c I could see he was getting ready to say something to her and I did not want to upset the child.

Sounds like you have an awesome boyfriend!

 

[Myia09]

Ugh I am so thankful James is also good with the pets. I can't stand people who are seemigly unattached.

I am still working on however entering petsmart, ect ect without correcting people or giving advice. I must seem like a butt

But your boyfriend is seriously amazing! I would have said, "You know what? I eat dog! Taste just like chicken!"

What a butt-hole to say that.

 

[Kitty88]

LOL, why did I make that post so weird?

Matt proved to be even more of a willing accomplice tonight when he picked me up from work and helped me rescue King Federigo Pesce de Tonno. He even drove down our main street slowly so none of the water would splash out. XD

Good luck with Dr. Stanzione! I'll be looking forward to hearing about that, since I have to schedule Chloe for her spay soon. >.<

I just realized that Shades appt is on Friday and I'll be riding with the Pocono traffic on the way home. So the 1 1/2 ride may end up being a couple of hours longer.So now it's scheduled for Thur instead and I'll just have totake the day off from work. (Hubby and I save all our vacation days for the buns.) Her incisor is getting a bit long now so it actually works out better a day earlier. She's still ok eating on her own. I just spoke to the local rabbit shelter and she's also heard great things about Dr. Stanzione, so I feel more comfortable.

I had to run out yesterday to get another carrier in case I have to separate them on the way home. I didn't get the Cabrio that I wanted. I like the idea of the top and side opening but I think a soft sided one would be better for the long car ride. I picked up the Sherpa large carrier which also has the top opening. I'm a bithesitant about taking them alone for the long drive. Their will be 3 nervous females in the car that day!

Hubby had a scare yesterday morning. He thought he heard a noise upstairs and went to check on the girls. Both were sleeping out on the landing. Shades woke up when she saw him, Cappy was just stretched out sleeping. He went in to check the bedrooms and on the way out, Cappy still hasn't moved which is very unusual for her, she's the skittish one and now Shades head is on top of Cappy's. Hubby became alarmed. He saw that she was breathing but didn't move. He nudged her, nothing. He nudged harder, she rolled on her side. He then picked her up and she was limp. He started calling her name now dreading the worst. After a couple of minutes, Cappy opened her eyes, looked at her surroundings and went ballistic trying to get down. Apparently she was in a deep sleep. Little bugger almost made me a widow by giving hubby a heart attack! I have to admit, I'm glad it was hubby who experienced it b/c I would have screamed down the house!:shock:

Here are some pictures after theyboth finally woke up. Shades is so dark, you can hardly see her. Then again they were taken from my cell phone.

OH... my... goodness! That is *terrifying*! If that were any of my buns, I'm SURE they'd be without a mom. I have "heard" that buns get into that deep a sleep but really thought it was an urban legend. Surely a prey animal wouldn't... but I guess it does happen! You must have a lovely home that they feel really great in for Cappy to sleep so well.

Good luck with everything at the vet's (to and from as well!). I won't be here for it, but I will be keeping up with everyone's blogs! Be back in a couple weeks

 

[Myia09]

Kinobe has done that to me a couple times..I swear! But yes so terrifying! I can't imagine!

But what a cuties!

 

[ariusshadow]

I've had a few animals pull that sort of thing on me, but never a rabbit. I've had a friend's dog, a rat, and a cat do that to me. So maybe I wouldn't have panicked so much knowing the animals like to mess with me like that. xD

 

[MILU]

They're SO sweet! Best of luck on Friday!!

Cappy is a legend herself. Hubby said she'll probably end up living a long life after we're gone!

Couple of week???? Wow, enjoy your vacation!

I'm sorry Ari, not to be insensitive, but I had to laugh to hear thatyour rat pulled that on you? I can just picture it!

Yes, yes. My last rat, Nyota, pulled that on me. She was asleep in her igloo, as usual. But I needed to clean the cage. So like an obnoxious cleaning lady, I rapped on the igloo to get her to wake up. No answer, as usual. I lifted the igloo, and she's out like a light. I poke her. Usually, I'd have been bit for such a travesty! But she stayed asleep. Breathing, but no response. I start freaking out and pick her up, and she's laying limp in my arms. By this point, I figured it was over. And she was gone. But just as I start admitting to myself it's over... CHOMP! She gets me good right on my hand. Little stinker jumps off my hand and scurries into her cage as if the whole ordeal was my fault. Ha! I love animals.

 

[MILU]

You're welcome. Keep us posted!

14 hours to go before Shades gets her surgery. However a new problem arises. Seems she's losing her fur on both sides. I just saw her pulling her fur, almost as if she's gong thru a false pregnancy. I'm really hoping it's not a serious health issue. I called the vet this afternoon to let them know and they will run sometest and blood work prior to the dental work. The appointment is at 9am, meaning I would have to leave the house no later than 6:30 to anticipate traffic along the way. Hubby just told me he'll be leaving the house at 4:30am. Bummer, I was hoping he can help me round up the girls. We tested the new carrier tonight and it's large enough for both to move around and be comfortable. We're leaving it on the floor sothe girls can get used to going in and out of it. Yay~ the divas approves!

I'vebeen packing the last 2 hours. You would think I'm running away with the girls. I have an additional carrier, a litter pan, plastic bags, (in case they have an accident in the carrier so I can wrap the liner in it) a fleecepillowcase to go over the plastic bag, hay, pellets with their bowl, mash pellet with pumpkin, Critical Care and finally some treats!

For myself, I have the Breaking Dawn book, laptop, ipod, myknitting andthe directionsto Starbuck and Panera Bread for the free wi-fi. Hopefully it'll keep me busy for at least 8 hours. Since the ride is about 85 miles away, it'll be a waste of time to come home. Their is also the mall nearby. However since it's in NY, I refuse to pay tax for clothes and shoes. Guess I can always just window shop.

I'm sure I'll be a nervous wreck and hoping my phone does not ring unless it's time to pick them up. I just decided to set the vet's number to a different ring tone so I don't freak out with every call.

Wish us luckray: and I'll keep you posted during the day tomorrow!

 

[MILU]

I surely wish you the best of luck, my thoughts will be with you!
Do you think Shades may be pregnant? Baby bunnies are soooooo cute!!! :hearts:hearts:hearts:hearts

 

[hln917]

Not unless it's Immaculate Conception!

Thanks for the good wishes.

 

[kirbyultra]

That's really smart, Helen, to set the vet's # to a different ring tone. I'm like that too -- when I'm expecting a call, I dive for the phone even when it hasn't run. Sometimes it rings in my mind when I hear some background noise and think it's my ring tone lol

It's pretty weird that Shades is pulling out fur. I saw her infirmary thread and saw the pics. I'm no expert as I've never actually seen a pregnant doe, but I didn't think does pulled fur out of their sides to nest. Shades doesn't hang out outside does she? How could she have even gotten fur mites? Pretty weird.

Breaking Dawn is the 4th book right? I think it's possibly least fave of the series... I started reading the new novella but I didn't finish reading it on the plane. It's ok so far. You're certainly well prepared!!
