Poorly Bunny :(





I write this entry with a sad heart today!  My darling bunny Fearn is sick & after having emergency surgery today, the Vet managed to remove 5 giant abscesses from her tummy.  Unfortunately 3 still remain & are too awkward to remove but the hope is that she's strong enough to pull through the night & we may be able to shrink the remaining abscesses with anti-biotics.
I've had rabbit's since I was a kid & never has a bunny had to have major surgery before.  We were so shocked & when the Vet showed us those ugly abscesses I was dumbstruck.  How the heck did they all fit inside her tummy anyhow?  She's only little!
It seems silly & I feel ever so slightly embarrassed over how upset I've gotten over it, after all it's not a dog or a child for Goodness sake, but the fact is Fearn's one of the family.  She's there in the morning sat patiently at the door waiting to go out & play.  She's up on the couch with us at night watching tripe on television & chewing our sofa.  She's there for me when Hubby is on nights & always game for a cuddle when I'm feeling homesick!  She's my Homie...& I'm currently crossing everything I have for her to make a speedy recovery.
My wonderful girlfriend from the UK sent me that adorable picture at the bottom of her rabbit Bobbin sending well wishes to Fearn.  Weird how they'll never meet but how much love can be sent across the miles!  I'm going to print it out & pop it on the wall next to her cage for when she comes home!
C'mon Fearny...you can do it!  I shall keep you posted!

Rx

(PS-We actually found out through this whole ordeal that Fearn is in fact a Boy bunny, not a girl as we've previously thought.  It seems some what of a traumatic time to start addressing Her as a Him but we will most definitely get around to it soon!  I can't believe we haven't noticed but apparently Bunny's are somewhat clever at pulling their bits up & disguising them.  Who knew?)

    So sorry that your little guy had to go through major surgery. I hope he has a quick recovery and gets to go home soon. I hope everything turns out okay for you both.
    -Missy
    P.S. I thought Coco (my bun bun) was a female too, the vet told me otherwise. He doesn't seem to mind sleeping in his pink bed and pink igloo, pretty sure he doesn't care :-)

    I found your blog from dailybunny.org which featured one of the pictures from this post today. I hope your bunny makes a speedy recovery and I am sending all the good vibes I can. ♥ ♥ ♥

    I, too, had a bunny that I cherished the same way you do and I was devastated when he passed away. Your bunny is strong - he made it past the intensive surgery that removed FIVE GIANT abscesses! I hope this means he'll make it through the remaining ones.

    Lots of love and hugs to you and your bunny!

    Hoping Fearn gets through this and is back hopping about soon. We would feel the same if one of our bunnies or guineas was ill - they're part of the family. Our bunnies were originally thought to be girls too.... we've had to tell Princess Pebbles he's not a Princess anymore!

    me and my bunnies, Buffy, Baloo and Bagheera, all wish Fearn the best of luck in recovering!

    I know what you are going through, Baloo, have had an inflammation in his lungs for a while, hopefully he is getting better but he has been ill for some time now. It is the worst you can ever imagine when your darling little bunny is not feeling well.
    My thoughts are with you!

    I am sending healing vibes out to Fearn and will surely say a prayer for him. I hope he makes a full & speedy recovery!!! I know how you must feel, I had a sick cat a few years ago and it was so hard--you just love them to bits! Bunnies are just as important as cats, dogs and people! Don't feel bad for having a big heart. <3

    Hang in there and keep sending him your love. I hope you will post an update. Take care!
