I got an email today from Cost Plus World Market about their rug sale and it looks like those seagrass mat rugs that were a favorite of bunny parents everywhere have returned! I'm not sure if they're just selling them like this or if they'll sell them by the strip like they used to as well...

One of my vet school classmates has found a stray rabbit. She has two rabbits of her own with no room for a third and this is the second time she's found a stray (the first rabbit and her subsequent litter of kits were eventually placed with a rescue). She's hoping to find a rescue that can...

I received a link to this list of zoonoses (diseases that can be shared between animals and humans or between animal species) of small companion mammals today and I thought I ought to share it here. People often don't realize which diseases they can or cannot get from their pets and we often...

Cricket was adopted on January 4, 2013 after Watson dated 3 different rabbits at Bunny Bunch, a local rabbit rescue. Cricket was originally named Eve because she had been found as a stray on a golf course on Christmas Eve of 2011. Once I learned she'd been there over a year, I knew she was...

Watson was adopted from the Ventura County Animal Shelter on October 28, 2012 along with his bonded buddy, Sherlock. The two of them were found on the street and taken in as strays. After Sherlock passed away in December, I adopted his current bonded buddy, Cricket. Watson enjoys eating pellets...

One of my vet school classmates who has 2 buns of her own found this stray bunny (Peanut) who soon after gave birth to a litter of kits. She's unsure of the sexes on the kits but thinks that Frodo and Smokey are girls and Sam and Sweet Pea are boys. Peanut did have Syphilis but has been...

I got the official email today that I'll be interning in San Antonio again this summer at the San antonio Zoo. In 2011 I was in the bird department and this summer I'll be in the vet deparment :woohoo I'm staying with my brother who thinks his apartment complex will allow the bunnies (they...

After losing Sherlock so soon after adopting him and Watson, I figured it was best to start a new blog for Watson and Cricket. This was my blog for Sherlock and Watson Yesterday I went to the Bunny Bunch, a local rabbit rescue, and filled out an application and met some of their bunnies...

I am on vacation out of state, but yesterday my mom, who was watching my buns, called me with some terrible news. Sherlock, one half of my bonded pair that I had adopted exactly two months previously, had suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. We're not sure what the cause was as she just...

Here's my last blog And my first blog After losing my rabbit of 6 years, Timmy, less than three months into my first year of vet school, I headed to the Ventura County Animal Shelter where, after spending hours meeting all their rabbits, I adopted a duo of neutered males on October 28th...

Hi all. After losing Timmy I just couldn't stay bun-less for long. Hey, I had the space and the food so I went and adopted two new boys from a local shelter. They came in together as strays and they kept them together both as unneutered males and then continued to keep them together after...

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to report that Timmy passed away in my arms this morning at about 4:10 am. After he didn't eat his breakfast I was treating him with our usual regimen of pain meds, simethicone and critical care. When I went to bed around 1 am he was quiet but still...

I feel like quite a few of you have known for the last 5.5 years I've been on this forum that veterinary medicine has been my lifelong dream and I know that many of you cheered right along with me during my undergrad admissions cycle 4 years ago so I'm happy to report that today I was accepted...

In December, I cut 10 inches off of my hair for Pantene's beautiful lengths http://www.pantene.com/en-us/beautiful-lengths-cause/pages/default.aspx?TID=73bf949f-9596-4cbe-8e71-3e051b0b41d0 (immediately after donating blood to the red cross, you can't for a while after you've been in a malarial...

When I decided I wanted a rabbit, the first thing I did was to convince my mother that we needed a rabbit. She agreed with me, but only if we got "one of those cute black and white ones with the saddle" and only if we could name her "Miss Whiskers." I found a black and white dutch at a nearby...

I remember first hearing about Postsecret from someone on RO. I've since become an addict, religiously checking every Sunday morning (which often means late Saturday night). Last night I was lucky enough to attend a Postsecret event here on my campus. Seeing Frank speak in person and getting him...

Three of my roommates and I are thinking of going up to Canada for our fall break. I was hoping to leave Saturday, spend Saturday night in Niagara Falls then Sunday and Monday nights in Toronto and drive back down Tuesday. Then I noticed that we'll be in Toronto for Canadian Thanksgiving. Is...

I got this email from my mom this morning. It's hard for me to tell her much without being there to see and feel it, but I thought that you guys might have some thoughts on it. A little over a week ago he stopped eating for a day. I gave him half a dose of metacam we had and lots of tummy...

I have an iPhone and typically rely on that for navigation, but in August myself, my best friend and my brother will be driving from Los Angeles back to Ithaca, NY (on a 7 day roadtrip) because I'm taking a car to school next year. I have three cars that I drive at home (one is my mom's old car...

I had a Casio EX-V8 for several years now (at least 3) and it took it's second bad fall while I was on vacation in Europe. It will still turn on to show me the pictures I've taken, but won't take new pictures :( As far as the trip goes, luckily my brother just got a new Canon T2i so I bought...
