Nessa is doing much better today, not as grumpy and she's starting to eat normally. I finally got a look at her stomach when she was flopped out in her cage, and I thought the incision looked weird? The vet told me that there would be internal sutures and that Nessa's skin would be closed with...

So Nessa was spayed yesterday, did great according to the doctor, and I brought her home last night. That's when all hell broke loose. :embarrassed: I totally get why she's mad at me so I've been trying to give her some space. That all went great until it was time for meds. Talk about a...

Oh also, I'm supposed to keep an eye on the sutures, but I haven't been able to move her enough to even get a look at them! I don't want to push her too much because like I said above, she's already grunting and jumping away to avoid me everytime I try to touch her. Honestly I just have no idea...

So Nessa had her spay this morning! She did great, but now she's at home with me and putting up a major fight to everything. I have to give her pain meds (via syringe) and she absolutely refuses to let the syringe anywhere near her face/mouth. I can tell she's in pain, and I really want to give...

I finally did it! I scheduled Nessa for an appointment at a wonderful vet's office I found to get her spayed. :time: The appointment is Friday, and it's just a check up before we get into the nitty gritty of her spay. I have some questions, being that I've never taken her to a vets office...

After extensive research, word of mouth, and some slight pleading; I found someone who will do Nessa's spay for only $100!! I'm setting up her appointment tomorrow for the initial visit! :yahoo: I'm super happy about this, I hope it all works out :D

Same for me, Stevesmum! :P I must be overly emotional today because that post made me cry, haha. Whoa, 12! That's so wonderful. I can only hope Nessa gets to have such a long, happy life! Happy, happy birthday Trixie!

I agree with OakRidgeRabbits and Azerane. I think this person majorly crossed a line. There's a difference between humanely dispatching a meat rabbit for food; and buying what appears to be a lionhead bunny from a pet store and killing it bicycle pump on air (regardless of whether or not he ate...

I'm sorry to hear that the cottontail passed away. Unfortunately this will have to serve as an example of how fragile their little lives are and how they always need professional care ASAP. I'm sure you tried your hardest to help the little guy.

Aww :( I'm sorry to hear that! 14 years is a long, happy life. I'm so glad you were able to spend it with her. RIP Lela. :pray:

Tnarg: Thanks for that suggestion! I'll have to call the SPCA and check that out. :) Nessa ripped her toenail yesterday and I've been babying her ever since. I think I'm creating an attention hog. She's now expecting me to pick her up and carry her around the house while I do things. I know...

Welcome! Hans is a cutie. :) If you have any questions, ask away!

Hehe, what a cutie Bandit is!!

These are common things I hear while working at my job. (A wildlife rehabilitation shelter): "I was mowing the grass and accidentally went over a cottontail rabbit nest!" "My cat just brought home with a baby bunny!" "I just found a baby bunny and the mother seems to have abandoned it!"...

Hiya, Tnarg. Lilith is an adorable name by the way. :P And yes, I did get Nessa from a breeder. I couldn't find any rabbit rescues in NC for the life of me and wanted a lop so badly. I found "Luv Some Bunny Special" rabbitry in Durham, NC. (They specialize in Fuzzy Lops, Holland Lops, and...
