Today Speedy woke up and wasn't him self his left eye was sore and yucky and looking like it had an infection in the eye,Yesterday Speedy seemed alright but this morning it was a different thing so It was another trip to the vet.How ever the last time I took Speedy to the vet I was unhappy about our treatment and was left with a bad taste in my mouth after feeling like I was being riped off so I decide to change vets and I reverted to my old vets the one I used with my first bunny Caramel.
I am so glad I did I got an appointment with the eye specialist and I have to say He was brilliant,after a thorough examination of Speedy's eye he found that Speedy has an ulcerated eye which could only be seen after a special dye was put on the eye and a ultra violet light shone on the eye and there it was the ulcer.So we have a special gel to put in it heal it all up,its going to take about week.Not sure how it has happened some how Speedy has knocked or rubbed his eye causing the ulcer.We have also upped is painkiller as it is very sore.
On the plus side Speedy still wants to play out side but is feeling a bit sorry for him self.My poor baby boy!

Thanks Bart,Ruby and Otto,It is very sore but the gloopy gel stuff makes it feel better,xx Speedy
DeleteOh, Rachel, how unnerving. I just hope I would have the strength to carry on and get Speedy the help he needed. It must have been completely scary all the way. I wish I could give you both big hugs, make you tea, serve cookies, have you put your feet up in a big comfy chair with Speedy in your lap, and read you stories. We love you and we are always here.
ReplyDeleteDang it, Rach, you CANNOT start a post like that. I had my heart in my throat til I could read the rest of it. For a good twenty seconds, I thought something happened to him, and I honestly do not think I could handle that.
DeleteThank God for good vets and pain meds. St.s Francis and Melangell be with my little floofy nephew.
I am nursing some gooey poo and gas in my Meany Girl. I will not sleep til she is pooping proper. She is about to get a syringe of Critical Care and pellet mush. I cannot believe I ran out of pumpkin puree. I ALWAYS keep canned pumpkin on hand!!!
Give The Cheeky One a treat and extra ear kisses for me!
Yes it was a bit Jane as hubby was out so I had to disturb his mum and get her to take me to the vet with Speedy,stressed her out a bit as she was in the bath...oops.Sorry Brandi didn't mean to scare you like that,hope Meany Girl feels better soon too.Hows the weather we have lots of lovely hot weather and I am off work next week too so I get to nurse speedy and enjoy the weather.Both of you check your email as I shall be emailing you both later on today,hugs and kisses to you both,xx Rachel
DeleteRachel, please thank Hubby's Mum for the help. I'm so glad you are off and the weather is nice. Tell that little cheeky one to get better (while he really relaxes). Tell him those are Aunties' orders. I feel like I can speak for Brandi in this.
DeleteWill do Jane,I believe Jensen may pop round to take a break from Buttercup as she's a bit mean So I guess I will be Spoiling both boys may be three boys if Mr mick pops round too,xx Rachek
DeletePoooor Speedy!! I took my Ru to the vet today too. He wasn't himself either. Hope speedy feels better quick!

ReplyDeleteThanks Brian,you're a sweet kitty,xx Speedy and mum
DeleteOh, Speedy, take care of yourself! We're sending gentle nuzzles and soft purrs...
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys,nose bonks,xx Speedy
DeleteOh, Speedy, you leave that eye alone and work it for all it's worth! I hope you feel better very soon and am so glad the new (old) vet was able to to diagnose and help you right away!
ReplyDeleteMe too Annie,it is quite sore,I like this New old vet and mummy likes him too,xx Speedy
DeleteTold you to stay away from Buttercup. She's a meany. Next time we'll meet at your place. Glad your Mom knows a good vet.
ReplyDeleteLater Dude,
Jensen
Thanks Dude,she is a bit of a grump.See you then.Mum will put the drinks on ice.
DeleteLater Dude,xx Speedy
Dude? Dude? Mum will do what? What is the legal drinking age for UK bunns? Speedy, it had better be 150, because that is how old you and Jensen will be before you even get a sniff, if your Auntie Jane has anything to say about it? You better have a slow, gentle, thorough recovery so this whole incident slips through your Auntie Jane's mind. Otherwise, there could be some time outs for a certain cheeky bun, yes, sitting in the corner of a magic closet.
DeleteAuntie Jane in human terms I was 21 on my first birthday and I will be 27 in october for my second Birthday so right now that would make me around 25,and Jensen is 18 or more,18 is the legal age in the UK and mum will see we don't indulge to much so don't worry us Dude's are just going to relax with fine food and a couple of drinks,xx Speedy
DeleteOh Speedy! Me is so sorry that yous too has a yucky eye and that they figured out what it was! Mes won't lets nobody near mine!
ReplyDeleteMe is sending yous lots and lots of Nellie Hugs!

ReplyDeleteHehehe will do RG doc's orders,xx Speedy
DeleteOh speedy!!! Maddy wasn't feeling herself a couple days ago also. I had to give her some simethicone, belly rubs, and some pineapple juice. I was so nervous for her as her poops were small, hard, and very few...and she wasn't eating! It was a very scary couple hours..luckily it worked and the diva is back to normal..I'm still keeping a close eye on her. I'm sorry about your eye speedy, but you're in good hands! I think I saw Maddy run off somewhere with my nurses cap..something about a closet...idk what she's up to. Speedy recovery for our speedy boy! Love ya all!
ReplyDeleteHehehe Maddy has been here fussing over me...kinda sweet really...even if she goes on a bit,she said she's much better and I have to get better too...hehe,xx Speedy

ReplyDeleteThank you Molly,xx Speedy and mum
DeleteVets are crooks, we sure are glad you found a good one that found Speedy's problem. What ever you go to the vets here for, it's an injection, antibiotics and a £75 bill..Hope your eye gets better real soon Speedy xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
I think Vets are like *any* profession.. There's some good ones, some bad ones, and a whole lot of okay ones that you may or may not click with!
Deletewhich is why I went back to the old place far better,xx Rachel
DeleteOh Speedy we hope you get better soon we really do xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Love Daisy, Cress and Owner xxxxx
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Me too,xxx Speedy
DeletePoor Speedy! Perhaps he bumped into something during one of his rounds? Or could a piece of hay poked his eye?
ReplyDeleteOne of our guinea pigs, Pok, had the same thing from a piece of hay that got lodged in his eye. He made a full recovery after some eye drops. :)
Feel better soon, Speedy! xoxo
Who know how he did it,could have been any thing,thanks guys,xx Speedy's mum
DeleteOh poor Speedy!!!! We so hope he is feeling better soon!! Sending him healing kisses!

DeletePoor Speedy Bunnyfeets! (Snuzzles) Probably stuck himself in the eye with a piece of hay, that's a common one. Of course, he's an uncommon bunny, so maybe a coat hanger fell on him when he was sneaking out of the bunny portal..
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear he's gotten treatment and is still his happy self tho!
Me too Lorna,thanks,xx Rachel

DeletePaw speedy - I hope he got lots of treats to help him on the road to recovery?!
ReplyDeleteyes he is Dalton,I'm taking good care of him,xx Speedy's mum
DeleteHi, Rachel, I hope everyone at your place is doing really well. I have just got to hear that Speedy and Maddy and Meany are doing better. I hope Speedy hasn't had too much company. Mr. Mick may want to move in until his house guests are gone. I just can't believe that Jade and Bunny Hugging Volunteer at Big Ears, Tiny Tales get to hang out with little bunnies. It is so kind of them to share pictures. I don't think you should be worrying about this now, but how is the other camera? Just a little news...we woke up with no power (just heard a distant bang), it is raining, and we watched a bunny munching for a very long time on our way back from checking the fuse box. Is living not a mixed bag? Your family are certainly a wonderful part of that for us. Now, tell that Little Nephew of mine to get really well. Love, Auntie Jane
ReplyDeleteoh you know what I haven't got it out yet,I'm gonna do it now.Hope you are enjoying the rain as much as we are enjoy our sunshine.Speedy seems to be a little bit better every day,but I guess we will wait till the end of the week to see if it really is getting better,xx Rachel
DeleteI'll take a little bit better every day, but, Rachel, you have explained to him that we really need our Speedy to be at 100%? And, please don't forget the really important part about how much we love him and how sorry we are they he feels this way and is going through all this. Just tell him we love him, and Rachel, please tell him that I hope he didn't hurt his eye when he fainted at the suggestion that his beautiful socks should be covered with some I knitted.
ReplyDeleteNo he didn't hurt his eye at the thought of you socks he is curious about those.He is slowly getting better he is only closing his eye now when I put his drops and gel in and he is now back down to one dose of pain killer a day and is still bright and breezy,I tooks some photos with my camera I will post them later today,xx Rachel
DeleteRachel, that is the best news, and as you know from your most recent post, we could use some good news. I am so happy to hear that Speedy keeps making those steps in the right direction. I hope you are holding up. What a hard time this has been. I gather it is still very hot. You and Speedy and Hubby take it easy...cool drinks in the garden...don't let Speedy's friends crowd you out!
Deletefingers crossed it keeps going in the right direction.Oh I don't mind his pals coming over they are a pretty good bunch,xx Rachel
DeletePurring to sweet Speedy!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks,xx Speedy
DeleteOh Speedy! My poor bunny friend - I hope your eye is feeling better soon! Gentle licks from Blueberry to speed your healing. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Blueberry you're a great friend,xx Speedy
DeleteOh Speedy my friend. I'm sending you massive hogs and snout kisses in hopes that you get better really, REALLY soon. I can't have my little buddy under the weather. XOXO - Bacon

ReplyDeleteThanks Lorian,I have to call the vet either today or tomorrow to see what's next to do,xx Rachel
DeleteHows the speedster doing now?
ReplyDeleteSpeedy seem's to be ok and is happy as usual but as for his eye healing I don't know,I have to call the vet today.xx Rachel
DeletePoor Speedy! I can imagine this has been a scary experience for you! Just recently Joker had to get cheatgrass pull out of his paw, the poor dear had his paw swollen up really bad. I'm so happy that it passed, because I was totally freaking out!
ReplyDeletenot really Sometimes he does bump into things if he turns to quickly to the left so I half expect stuff like this in that eye,what I don't like to see is him in pain though,it si gradually getting better though,xx Rachel
