I did a bad thing!

[JeffS]

I'm having to type this without my right index finger because I was too "get-er-done" with riley's nail.s (I've pushed backspace 30+ times now) After 1 paw he was done but I just couldn't say "OK" and do another paw later. Now if I uncurl my finger it will bleed all over. I can't see fatty tissue but I see through skin. I might need it stitched or put in a little cast if moving it in a while makes it bleed again! A little cast might be cute, actually.

The worst part is I can tell I hurt his feelings and he's not 100% trusting me.

Ouch... sorry to hear that!! He will forgive and forget tho... just give him a bit of space, and perhaps some parsley!!

Hope you heal up quick!

Wait who is bleeding? You or the bunny? I'm total confused

 

[JeffS]

I just opened my finger a bit and the bleeding didn't restart, though it's not dry either. Sometimes I'm so glad I don't have sickle cell!

 

[Fancy77]

WOW too bad...u r a trooper tho that u take the time to tell us b4 all the bleeding is taken care of ha ha ha

LOL

 

[SweetSassy]

Oh no! Hope you don't need stitches.



How is your bunnies doing? Haven't posted anything lately on your blog.

 

[JeffS]

No stitches or anything, I'll just have a few days where I suddenly bleed from my finger onto nice carpet and couches. Sorry about the lack of blog updates but I've been too busy cuddling them to take pictures. Seriously, all Riley wants to do is cuddle, and when Pancake isn't exploring she looks so cute that I have to cuddle her too.

 

[SweetSassy]

I'm glad their doing good. Atleast Riley isn't trying to fight you. Except for when you cut his nails. Lol.

 

[SilverBirchRabbitry]

I think I caught on to what happened now lol

 

[Fancy77]

It would b lovely to see pics of your buns....I noticed u have a blank profile pic....

 

[JeffS]

I have pics in this thread: link

The first few are from when I first got Riley, and then eventually they get ringworm and it's cured.:highfive:

If you read the text you'll find that Riley used to be quite a bully. He's so sweet now! (Well, except for the whole nail clipping thing...)

 

[Fancy77]

WOW VERY CUTE!!! Plz tell me about ringworm, I am under the impression that since bunnys are kept indoors that they wont get it....am I missing something again???

 

[JeffS]

I'm 99% sure my guys got ringworm because I was ignorant. I was petting a bunny at the humane society and it was shedding very badly. I found that its hair was just falling out and there was no new fur underneath. I showed the care staff what was happening but they didn't mention anything about it maybe being an infection so I didn't think anything of it. Then of course when I got home guess who the ringworm found...

 

[Fancy77]

wheww good to hear...oh I mean sorry to hear that 4 u but I'm put at ease. I thought there was other ways of getting it, I have been trying to find info on RO about Ringworm but not finding any so...thanks I am a bit nervous of an outbreak as well as ear mites....

Ringworm is actually an infection, not a worm. The bacteria causes an itchyred circle to develop where ever it has time to take hold. People can get the bacteria from animals, and vice versa,if proper hand-washing is not done before physical contact with another person or animal. The bacteria is similar to the bacteria that causes athletes foot.

hope that helps...
