Argggg i justspent 20 minutes looking for the picturewhere it shows the location , if memoryserves me correct (he somtimes ) itsjust under her chin on the right.I have to caution if you tryto pick her up to look or to touchit you may get bittenuse extreme caution with her, also watch her when it comesto touching the right shoulder blade also. If it should start to fillagain it will show as aDewlap over the top of her normal one .It will be very noticable .
 
She's on her way! Great digs, Angela and James!thanks so much for hosting our Tankie. I think all of us links claim ashare in the big girl.:p

The abcess is directly under the right side of her jaw. Try distractingwith rolled oats, that always worked for me. In my opinion, it isaboutthe size of a small grape and hasn't changed much if anyfrom a few days after it popped.

Ears and butt worked for me too. She eventually stopped flinching there(I could actually push her around a bit, like Bub), but never let metouch shoulders much. I picked her up this morning with no struggle orstress, but man, she weighs like a ton of bricks. Very, very solid!

The ruffly fur is that lovely stage of molt right before it all comesloose.:pI'm guessing naturestee is about to get the worst ofit. hehehehe

Thanks for the pics, and good luck with our girl!:D

Okay, we think we noticed a small something there last night.I'll try again later. It's recessed under her chin, sonowhere near sticking out on top of her dewlap.

And yeah, her dewlap looks like a furry baseball under her neck!:p

For those of us who are new here or have a badmemory or may have missed the threads, could someone give somebackground to this story, please? It seems like I was reading a threada few weeks ago about Tank having babies, and everyone was waiting andwaiting, but I don't know the end to that story. How did Rabbitgirl gethere and where does she live? And why is she going across country toGypsy? She's a beautiful girl, Flemish, right?

I'll just give a short, short version from what I remember.

Tank is a Palomino, not a Flemish. She was taken back from a breederwho was mal-treating her (Or how I remember it she was). Whenrabbitgirl picked her up from the breeder, she thought Tank waspreganant. Well, it went past 35 days and so her and gypsy believe sheeither was never pregnant or she miscarried. She is now on her way backto gypsy whom I believe she belonged to in the first place or has someother sort of connection to Tank.
 
Gypsy's original connection to Tank is that sheknows Rabbitgirl.:p Tank is not "user friendly" due to herprevious mistreatment, so she needs to go to someone who is capable ofhandling her and taking care of her. Also, the Palomino is arare breed that, as I understand it, is getting too inbred in someareas. Gypsy is starting to breed Palominos and Tank will bepart of the program. She has a different heritage than theother rabbits in that area of the country because there's half acontinent in between them.

Here are a couple of threads about this:

No such thing as too many Tank pictures! She's shy, but settling in and getting used to all the new sights and sounds.

Okay, okay, I'll stop with the pictures and let you sleep!

Tank wants all of you to know that she does not approve of these pictures. They are not nearly dignified enough!:p
 
Wow, her feet stayed pretty clean even after the mess she made in the carrier!

She looks so nice and comfy. It's weird to have "her" cage empty here.It feels like there are way too many empty cages here.:(Buton the good side, Pandmonium and Fenny get to move into their new digsfinally.

Rose
 
Oddly enough, most of the mess was UNDERNEATHthe hay, not on top of it. Since she refused to come out for8 hours or so, it was a stinking mess.:? I came home, openedthe bathroom door, and set about taking the carrier apart to get herout of there. As soon as I did, she went into the cageinstead.

She was just thumping because I went in there and she wantedout. Oh, the glares! The horror! I boughther off with a little bit of bread.:p

Actually China bun she is aPalomino , one of the reasons sheis coming to me is because of the limitedgene pool here , the breed is in dangerof being lost . Tank was bred whenRosegot her but witherabsorbed or misscarried the litter ( shame too )

Rose lives in the Mid west andTank is traveling by bunny trainto Convention in Indiana , WhereStarlights Rabbitry will then pick her upand bring her back to NH , To me Wehave arranged to meet in a different stateto insure safety for all involvedRose got her out of a bad breedingsituation and i basicallydecided she should come here .If the lines are to continue I may aswell do my part to insure theGenes get mixed up just a bit .
Natures Tee, She must like you only a fewhours and your already getting her goodside ( the Butt ) lol . What a pretty girl she is. What ever do you meanenoughPictures!!!!! not in this life time lol . I loveseeing her and more isalways better .
 
More pics you say? Here's Tank playingMartha Stewart, trying to remodel her cage. She's so funnywhen she digs and chews at it. She doesn't seem to do itreally hard, but she does try.:p And I haven't seen her touchher toys at all. I guess wire beats apple sticks for her.

:ponder:
