We lost Cala. The vets said that thewhole operation went smoothly and she woke up fine and seemed ok butthen they checked on her again and she had stopped breathing.I asked them to let us see her and she looked just perfect. Icouldn't stop myself from breaking down right there in front ofeveryone. I oked an necropsy and they just got back to me andinformed me that she had some apparent liver problems. Herliver was kind of yellow and somehow kind of attached to one of herkidneys. I guess they tried to make me feel better that shejust had some genetic problems and that I didn't kill her sending herto get fixed. They are gonna do some more tests and get backto me, afterwards I asked to have her creamated. I don't knowwhat we are gonna do with the ashes but we have no place to bury herand I couldn't think of just letting them dispose of her.
Phoebe is fine and the procedure went smoothly for her. We'llbe keeping an eye on her. They gave her one shot for painthat is suppose to last 24 hours and told us to bring her in if sheneeds more medication. She was there with Cala when she diedso Pheebs shouldn't feel abandoned I guess. We are supposedto keep her caged (no play time) for the next week and check herincision. She'll be going in for a check-up in a fewdays. After that I guess we will let her hang out with theboys so she has some company.
Be assured, you didn't do anything wrong. You did what everygood bunny parent should do, and took her in to get spayed.She would have had a much lesser chance at life if you hadn't taken herin. You didn't have a hand in this...you were trying to saveher life.
