to those who remember Daphnee, or would like to meet her. Daphnee is currently 8 years old, I took her home Jan of 2005, A small recap for those who know her, and a bit of info for those who do not.
daphnee came from another state, I was tld about her by a lady who drives an hour to go to our clinic. and given the number of a girl at a clinic in the other state as a contact number, I called her and she gave my info to the "transporters", they called me and we made plans of a place to meet so I could pick her up. I was told she was7 and that wasvery old(i told them that didn't matter to me), healthy,spayed, litter trained, a french lop weighing 15 lbs and peach color, and her name was Daphnee.
all and good took a big carrier expecting big bun. drove an hour and met them half way, did get lost as the exit was closed.
I see Daphnee, she is a mini lop(no biggy) they get her into my car asap and leave. I am heading to work that afternoon I do a quick exam in my car. She has a weapy eye, she is underweight, a large lump on her face, and funky teeth, but not bad enought teeth to have not eaten.
She gets to work I give her food she starts eating and pooping, she has nasty thick tar stinky poop. vet looks her over we are able to do a better exam, she has an abscess in her cheek, a cyst on her chest, under weight etc.
long story short she has 3 surgeries, first surgery remove the majority of the abscess, cut teeth. long surgery, second surgery to remove more of the abcess, and to pop her hip into place that had been dislocated, and we drained her cyst with a needle. 3rd surgery to remove the rest of the abscess, the eye has to be removed and peices of the bone in her cheek need to be removed because it appears her face had been fractured on that side and she had some sharp peices that most likly had caused the abscess.
So here is how she looks today, her eyeless side with weigh on, a working hip, and her last surgery was august of last year..
