Thanks for asking , Haley. It's funny, you must be psychic or something, because I was going to give an update 
.
Just before Christmas, I had Pernod to the vet for her myxivaccination. It was a different vet than the one that dealt with Perry.He gave her a check-up and said she needed a dental, and to take her inearly in January. Well, after all that happened to Perry, I wasn't toopleased,especially as Pernod has shown no signs of having problems, andthat it was only a few weeks before that they said she was fine. BothPerry, and my first bun, Fudge, had been fine until having a dental,then had to be pts several days later.
So, I phoned the Rabbit Welfare Association, and asked if they couldrecommend any rabbit vets in my area. They said that one of the bestlived worked not too far away, so I took Pernod to her. I told her allthat had happened, and she checked Pernod out. The result - she saidPernod will probably need a dental some time in the future, but as sheis fine at the moment, she can see no reason to do it for the sake ofdoing it. She gave me great confidence in her - she has her own rescuehouse rabbit, and her primary clinical interest is rabbits. I just feelso bad that if Perry hadn't really needed the surgery, he may still bearound today
Pernod, I have to say, is lonely. John and I spend lots of time withher,but we aren't bunnies. I was looking at local lists of rescuerabbbits, but there aren't too many around here. Well, today I was at alocal Garden Centre. They sell rabbits there (which I am against, andtry not to look at them). There is one that has been there for months.I got talking to a couple that work there, and they said that theycan't sell him to children, 'cos he is cage aggressive, and hasactually bitten one of them. They have reduced his price to what theybought him off the breeder for, and next he will be given away freewith a cage :X. I got him out, and he is an absolute sweetie. I cuddledhim for 20 minutes, and he chinned me and licked me (also sprayed me,but hey, that's OK).
John (hubby) also held him - he has been dead against getting anotherbun -but I could see even he was keen. The boy that works there saysthat he wishes we could take him, because he thinks he deserves a goodhome, and not an uncertain future. I really wanted to get one from arescue, but I feel that this guy needs rescuing too. Soooo,we are discussing it. I am working Monday and Tuesday, so I am goingback on Wednesday to let them know one way or the other. I am going tophone my new vet tomorrow to ask about neutering costs etc. So, watchthis space
Sorry this is long, but hey, you asked
