Hello everyone. As I mentioned in an earlier entry of my diary, we now have a new addition to our family, a beautiful doe rabbit who we have named Penelope Nala, Penny for short. Please read Penny's Adoption Story to read how we came about adopting Penny and also how the rescue made a huge mistake by giving us a doe when we asked for a buck. If you want to see our beautiful Penny first, here she is.
Other bunny news is that Thumper has also been to the vets. Firstly though, some news about my vet. On our last visit with Penny, I discovered that Molly Varga, the vet we normally see is leaving Ashleigh vets. I was sad to hear this news as Molly has been such a fantastic
vet to our pets. I have thanked Molly in person and also in a card as it has been so nice knowing that whenever I have taken our pets to Ashleigh vets, I know they will be given the correct diagnoses and treatment, which is also given with respect and care. We wish Molly all the very best in her next venture. Now onto Thumper's vet visit. We noticed that Thumper's right eye was watery.
I saw vet Aiden Raftery and was very impressed with his examination of Thumper. She was with Aiden for over 20 minutes and he checked almost every part of Thumper.
Aiden discovered that Thumper has an infection of the tear duct but its not blocked as the dye he placed in her eye, came down her nose. Considering Thumper eats alot of hay and hasn't had previous teeth problems, he doesn't think its likely to be her teeth causing the problem but of course you can't see the roots. Thumps is now on eye drops and antibiotic. 1 drop of Tiacil eye solution twice daily
and 1 x 1.5ml of Baytril antibiotic. If Thumper's eye continues to water she will
probably need an x-ray to check her teeth roots.
