Nothing of Importance Today, Just Blackjack!

Posted April 28, 2015 at 9:31 am

My fluffy bunny butt is in surgery today to be neutered (various reasons, but mostly, we do plan on eventually getting a 2nd rabbit to keep him company and it will probably have to be female)! I’ve been wringing my hands for the past couple weeks waiting for the appointment, and I’m particularly nervous today now that he’s finally gone in! My clinic does a drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon, so I’m just sitting here trying to get any work done in the meantime… Come home safely and heal up well, Blackjack! The apartment feels empty without you!

[edit, Wednesday, April 29th, 2015] He’s finally eating again! Rabbits are very fragile – not eating or pooping for just 12 hours can lead to death, so by 4 am last night (20+ hours without food), I was pretty frantic. I finally saw him eat half a piece of parsley and poop, so I tried to take comfort in that and nap for a few hours. Now, 3 pm the day after surgery (24+ hours without much food), he seems to be devouring normal amounts of food again! I think we’re out of the woods! YAY! All this worrying gave me a huge migraine, though. I can barely look at this screen. BUT yay! My little boy seems to be doing great!
