TONY'S EYE: Have we found the problem??

[Bo B Bunny]

LOL Cathy, I sat Tony down across the room. This lady started to put him down by the cage the owl was in and I said "OH Lord NO! he'd stress out for sure!" The guy with the owl said "Oh is it a tiny dog?" I said "No a BIG bunny!"....

He said "Oh wow yeah!".....

 

[kherrmann3]

That's good that they don't think it's the tooth/eye problem. When are you going to the specialist?

I would have been making faces at the owl

 

[Bo B Bunny]

It's up to me when I take him in. IF I take him. She thinks that if the eye doesn't get worse/gets better in the next couple of days - he should be fine. I might have her recheck him in a few days.

He's eating like a pig! He went with me to my mom's and loved her dogs, fell asleep on me - tooth purring - and was very content.

Mom and Sis loved seeing him. They hadn't seen him since he was a tiny baby!

I hope that it improves with the salve.. ray:

at least you're treating it now

you sound a little less stressed

:hugsquish:

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I am a big worrier with my bunnies. I worry about all of the animals but the bunnies can go down so quickly..... I was a mess. I am a bit better now. I just wish it wasn't $115 to walk in the door of this other vet. That would make me feel better about just taking him for the check...... *sigh*

 

[LuvaBun]

Aww,our poor Tony . Your vet sounds awesome - such a relief having someone that you can trust.

Thinking of you - hugs to Tony (and Bo, and Clover ...)

Well, there's no problem with his urine output! :expressionless

Tony NEVER potties like on us or anything. We had him out and playing on the couch and letting him hop around, fed him some craisins (yep spoiling him more!) and he even got jealous of Lexi working on homework and sabataged that! Then suddenly he stopped and looked at me funny..... his butt up against Lexi on a nice blanket.... and I see a bit of dampness, asked Lexi if he was losing pee or something when she said "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He peed all over LOL! Plus a couple of nice, giant Tony Poos!

I took him so she could get up and get it all off the couch without getting it all over her and the couch.... amazingly they were dry!

I got the part that got all over him. Yep, covered in blotches of Tony pee! So I put his medicine in his eye and took him in and gave him cilantro. I washed up really well, fed, cleaned and hayed the other two.......

When I put Tony in his cage, he sort of shook his head like something bothered him (like the medicine was stinging or something?) I figure the first time his eye was still numb maybe from the eye stain they used?

Poor guy BUT he did play and had a good time with us tonight. He was hopping all over us and stretching and getting loved and grooming us even! Lexi's knee is apparently his now as well...... chin chin chin!

NOW if we can get that eye healed up!

 

[JimD]

Will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

[Bo B Bunny]

Thank you Jim!

Tony acted like the medicine might have stung a bit last night but his eye looks just the slightest bit better. I'm hoping it's ok.... we're having a rough time this week. The washing machine is going out, the dryer is going out, and I am just about to lose it mentally from it all! ullhair:

He was just reiterating the fact that you took him to an evil place. I am super-surprised that I spelled "reiterating" correctly Today is going awesome!

Good to hear that his "systems" are all good to go! It stinks that they worked on YOU guys, but at least they're working Can he see OK out of that eye? I mean, does he startle easier on that side or just "ignore" or not-see you? At least eyes heal super-quick. I've had two eye surgeries myself, so I know this! lol

Side Note:
That just happened to Will. I had fun screwing with his blurry vision. He had a florescent tube light blow-up in his face at work. He got glass, mercury, and a lot of dust in his eyes. He had to go to the eye doctor immediately. They put these little suction cups on his eyes that forced a cleaning solution to flush the debris out. When he got home (he drove home after this :shock he could hardly see anything. He compared it to how blurry your eyes can get when you have your eyes open too long in a chlorinated pool. He said it was terrible. I kept moving stuff around the apartment on him... He couldn' see more than 12-18" in front of his face... hehe. I'm a jerk

Back on topic:
We're all relieved here to hear that Tony is doing better Keep up that speedy recovery, "little" guy!

 

[TreasuredFriend]

Please get better soon, Tony! Sending tons of bunny kisses,

I just burned out the motor in our washing machine alsofrom washing the rabbit towels . I use my washing machine just like the shelter does; it goes all day long.

The repairman was puzzled said "the machine usually wears out before the motor..."

When babette RIP, GabrielRIP were ill they did not use the litterbox at all and the washing problem became extreme.
The repairman doesn't know this home is like Maureen's little shelter

I agree that you have had one problem after another. butmaybe things will improve some... hopefully
it comes in cycles for me
How's Tony's eye? i think the salve would make it feel better. Beau is also getting opthalmic antibiotic salve for his eye problem after his teeth were pulled. He is better butI am afraid to take him off bicillin

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Tony's eye looks about the same. It's a bit swollen but that's from the fluid under?the cornea.

He seems to see out of it ok I guess. It was funny cause Lexi was trying to test it and she tried to compare it to his good eye..... slowly putting her finger near it so she could get him to blink and judge if he could see about that same way in the bad eye.

She said she nearly touched his good eye and he just sat there - no blinking! I wondered if he has some sort of problem - but I think he was doing a "Yofi Statue" and sort of "zoned out"....

I'm going to give Tony a couple of days and see how he does..... if his eye doesn't improve, I'll take him to the specialist. I'm about to go get him for his next dose of ooze into the eye.... he hates it now LOL!

When I was 21 my roommate came in drunk and came in to tell me something - I was asleep (hmmm it was 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday!) and he plopped on the side of my bed not seeing my cat laying there. She ran over my face and her paw went into my eye. Her claw cut a horse shoe shape into my eyeball. The doctor said it was a miracle that my eye went down instead of up (which is usually how they go when something enters the socket) cause it would have blinded me had it not. I have a scar on my eyeball... eye docs always get freaked..... "How did you get that??!" hehehe

My washing machine goes through H$ll! My hubby is a heavy equipment mechanic and although he has uniforms..... he likes to grease up his jeans sometimes also. My kids are both usually wallering around with horses, sheep, goats, and cleaning up from them. Hay is a big issue here. I personally usually have a bunny hair covered shirt at least once a week.... brush brush those bunners.

We also have an australian shepard that likes to shed on EVERYTHING! and a 13 year old who needs to change clothes at least 2 times per day and a 17 year old that thinks a boy with short hair needs 5 towels to get really dry after showering.......

You are so MEAN!

He was the one eating potato chips and pretzels when I had my tonsils out! I was throwing up Jell-O and he sits there crunching away on popcorn and all my other favorite snacks! I'm a carb-junkie

How is Tony doin'?

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Here are a couple of pictures I took. It's really hard to get the real color/cloudiness to show AND it's hard to hold a big bunny and a camera that's got problems and take a picture of the bunny's eye on the opposite side where you are just guessing to aim LOL!

This shows it more like it is but it's very cloudy all over

Now, this is the same eye, the same time, just seconds apart and it looks normal from this picture..... very weird.

Aww! Poor baby! He doesn't look happy

Still looks cute to me, though!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

See his molty face? He is so funny - little round patches on either side of his nose!

I just love snuggling him. He curls his nose right up in the edge of my neck and flattens out across me.

 

[mouse_chalk]

Awww, look at my big cuddly Tony!! :inlove:

I'm glad you got in to see the vet- she sounds great!

I hope the antibiotics work.... in that last picture you posted his eye looks pretty much normal- are they always that shade of blue? I love that he gave you and Lexi a present of appreciation for his little day trip! LOL!! :laughsmiley:

I'm so glad that at this stage it doesn't appear too serious.... And :hug: to you for having a rough week, I'm sorry!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Nope, the blue isn't right. His eyes are a deep brown color.
