I scratched my eye or it’s infected on the Thursday before a long weekend in Canada 😫. All vets are closed 😩 so we are in an emerg clinic but keep getting bumped as we are (thankfully) not super serious. ❤️ Hopefully we are able to be seen soon. 💜
Still waiting. Keep getting bumped 😢
Made it to the room!
My poor little eye. But I’ve got drops now and the vet says I’ll be as good as new in 5-7 days ❤️!
@Satori Poor little Skye 😢
@MartineBunny Awww thank you for the well wishes. 🥰 I’m keeping it closed because it is so ouchy and that helps! Can you believe they didn’t give me painkillers?? 😱 I’m still eating like a champ and getting so much extra love. Mum is monitoring me so I don’t rub it at all. She ordered a donut collar arriving later today but she doesn’t think I’ll like it 😂💜

@Satori Oh nos pal, not a donut!! 🍩 Why does our hoom parents like to put cakes round our necks?!! Silly hoom v-e-t, why they not give yoo pain killers Skye? I’m glad yoo are getting extra love from yoor BunMum and BunDad. Wishing yoo a speedy recovery dear friend 🐰❤️❤️❤️🐰

@MartineBunny 🤣 Now a NANNER, on the other paw..👀

No painkillers, emerg maybe didn’t have any for rabbits 😒. They were not an exotic ER - no one around- we felt ok seeing them in this case because eye pokes/infections are similar to all.

Mum said infection or eye poke so vet wanted to do a tear duct flush. “I’ve never done one before, I’ve heard rabbits get that, I’ll have to Google how to do it..” Mum steered her away from that nonsense. 🛑 The staining cornea check confirmed the culprit! 💜

@Satori @MartineBunny All the best for Skye.

Not to minimize your experience, just a funny one of ours. Bun needed painkillers; vet explained Metacam came in two flavours; dogs and cats liked one, other animals liked the other. So she said she would give us the meat-flavoured one.

Meat?!? Are you out of the non-dog-non-cat stuff? Will bun even take it?

Not meat. "Mead", as in honey 😂

@cazabon @Satori @MartineBunny
I was at a business dinner meeting in Copenhagen with many Danish colleagues years ago and commented that the soup was very good/asked what kind it was. The answer: "leech soup". I weakly said "leech"? and must have blanched. There was a burst of conversation in Danish and then my host turned to me and said "LEEK! LEEK LEEK!"

@RainCityBunnies @Satori @MartineBunny

Literally laughed out loud 😆

@cazabon @Satori @MartineBunny
for you Canadians, I heard a report on the radio today about giant hogs stomping over the northern part of central Canada?

@RainCityBunnies @Satori @MartineBunny I haven't personally seen any, but I read accounts of the number of feral hogs throughout the prairies exploding.

Um, the numbers are exploding, not the hogs.

@cazabon @RainCityBunnies @MartineBunny 🤣🤣🤣 Can confirm wild boars have become a problem- they’re apparently running through our river valley. Oddly enough they’ve offered a bounty for them in a desperate attempt to get a grip of the situation. When my grandpa grew up, they offered a bounty on gopher tails. The gophers still triumphed.
@Satori @cazabon @MartineBunny
are the wild boars aggressive? there are some kind of wild pigs, or boars, or maybe javalinas, in Texas that can be ... agressive

@RainCityBunnies @Satori @MartineBunny

I haven't personally seen any - don't spend a lot of time out of the city these days - but it is reported that they can be aggressive, and they're pests, causing damage. Breaking fences and stuff like that that can cost a farmer real money if cattle escape and are hit by vehicles, etc.

@cazabon Yeah, I’ve heard they can be quite aggressive, too. They call them “super pigs” here, although they don’t wear capes
