Thanks Ali.

Peg certainly doesn't need any extra worries right now. I hope she's doing okay.

Peg's doing ok - I'm staying at my aunt and uncle's - and yes - I did call Ali to chat and made sure to ask about Chippy...

I found myself talking to someone in an airport about rabbits and stuff and mentioned the forum and said that we all get really close and stuff..and mentioned that one of the hardest things about being gone was not being able to be kept up to date on sick bunnies I care about - and mentioned Chippy.

The person gave me the strangest look.....oh well.

But someone else - somewhere in the world...knows there is a sick rabbit named Chippy. (I wonder if she'll feel famous).

I will be on the computer a couple of times per day to check in - so I can not have to call Ali all the time (especially since I have to go stand outside to talk to her due to poor cell phone reception in the house).

Hiya Peg!!

I laughed out loud at this...at work.
Then I had to explain to my co-workers what I was laughing about.
And then I got some strange looks.

"Oh wella":biggrin2:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chippy is doing okay and has a vet appointment this Thursday evening.

 

[TinysMom]

I'll be checking regularly for an update on Thursday night/Friday...

 

[pumpkinandwhiskersmom]

Just checking in to see how Chippy is doing...and how you are doing, too. There is nothing more worrisome than having a loved one under the weather!

 

[JimD]

Chippy is doing okay.

She was a bit under the weather with GI issues since yesterday, but was very active last night during her runtime.

Jim, giving you and Chippy kudos!inkbouce::highfive:

Such a hard thing to deal with. You may recall that Angel had Mammory Cancer that was successfully removed. Then we lost her a year later that we are not sure of the reason...

Thanks Crystal.

We've got a vet visit tomorrow evening (6pm EST)

Chippy is still acting as if there's nothing wrong.

She's going to hate me for taking her to the vet.
She heard me taking the carrier out and thumped at me

This morning I was very happy to find and empty food bowl, a poopy-filled litter pan, and a very bouncy bunnie!

 

[Maureen Las]

Great!!! inkbouce:

 

[pumpkinandwhiskersmom]

I'm always amazed at how happy I can be to see poop! I think that should be on a list of "You know you're a bunny slave when..."

Pumpkin gets so upset when she sees the carrier....and I don't even say the "V" word in her presence!

You guys are in my thoughts and prayers today....will be anxious to hear how you make out tonight.:hug:

 

[JimD]

Chippy is doing okay today.

I.... on the other hand..... am not.

I feel terrible.
I think I've got the flu.
I just had some soup and I'm going to lay down for a while.

I rescheduled Chippy's appointment for next Tuesday evening.

 

[tonyshuman]

Oh no! Feel better!

 

[TinysMom]

oh no.....I'll be praying for both of you!

 

[pumpkinandwhiskersmom]

So sorry that you're under the weather, Jim. Lots of liquids, lots of rest! Hope you feel better ASAP...keeping you and Chippy in my thoughts and prayers!

 

[Pipp]

:sickbunny:

Oh no! Don't worry about Chippy, doubt the extended time will make a difference, just take care of yourself!

What a bad week!

[Maureen Las]

Hope that you feel better soon Jim

At least Chippy got better before you got sick
take care of yourself...

Chippy had her vet visit tonight.

Dr.C aspirated a large sample to send to the lab, and gave her two injections.
One injection was Convenia (antibiotic), and the other was Depo Medrol (steroid).

It's been a long evening so far, but Chippy is looking and acting much better.
She started eating as soon as I put her back in her pen.

I have to call the vet on Thursday to get the results from the lab.
The preliminary Dx is that it's a mass that may need surgical removal.

Paws crossed, and praying like crazy right now.
:tears2:

 

[tonyshuman]

Uhoh. Good luck with the lab results. In the future, you may want to challenge your vet when he wants to administer a steroid--they're not always very useful in rabbits due to their sensitive immune system. I am glad that your vet is open to using Convenia. Paws crossed here too!
