Honey Bunny - Ups and Downs
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007 |
Preston and I went to visit Honey at the hospital today - we weren’t sure if we’d be able to bring her home yet. (We couldn’t - she’s not healthy enough yet.) She’s going to stay at the hospital because she needs sub-q fluids still - she’s still not eating or drinking on her own. Today, her lymph nodes were really swollen - she looked kind of lumpy on either side of her body. They still were unable to draw blood to test for pasteurella or e.cuniculi because she wasn’t healthy enough. (Yesterday when they drew blood to test her kidneys and liver, her veins kept collapsing.) Hopefully tomorrow (Wednesday) they’ll be able to do some more tests. And hopefully her kidneys and liver enzyme levels will be closer to normal.
The staff at the hospital said Honey was their favorite bunny ever because she’s so sweet and easy to take care of. She seems to know they’re trying to help her - she’s so good with all of her shots, sub-q’s, and blood drawings. When we visited her tonight, she was so excited to see us, and she ran around the visiting room. She seemed so much better - I’m sure our visits cheer her up. The staff said she always seems to be in a good mood and she perks up when we visit her. I’m sure it’s been so hard on her to be spending so much time in the hospital. We know it’s best for her, though, because they can give her all of the medicine and sub-q’s that she so desperately needs. I know it will take time (and money), but I have great hope that she’ll be able to recover from this. We’re so grateful to Dr. Orr and the staff at her pet hospital, - Creekside Animal Hospital. Their time, patience, and dedication is so greatly appreciated. We know Honey is under the best care, and we’re very hopeful that we’ll have a good outcome of all of this. We love our bunny! Get well, Honey!

Jenny,
Thanks for the update. It sounds good that she’s hopping around. She wasn’t doing that before, right? Please keep us updated.
Love, Pam
