A bridge between the hands and the heart…

Trinket with Dougie at Big Bay Ontario

Hello Kiddies!! Wow did I have a very full day yesterday, Holy Cwap, it was a lot for a wee “invalid” bun

Well I guess that is the newest medical technical term for my conditon~ invalid, and I don’t like it!!

Ok on with my report. So yesterday was going to the vet day so that I could get my weekly acupuncture and check up. So this Mamma insisted we try some heavy duty appetite stimulants seems its been over a month anyway since I’ve stopped eating but with sporadic nibbling. My weight is down to 1 kg again but at least it doesn’t get any lower. So Mamma gave Dr Deb two of her researched suggestions and Cyproheptadine was finally agreed upon and Deb gave me a dose right there in the office. I have to say she is a great vet, but not so good at giving a bun oral meds!! Hehe, Mamma told her she sucked at that and then Deb laughed and blushed, Geese Mamma that’s my main medical care giver, way to go makin her feel bad!! Naughty Mom! So a couple hours later I did start to eat a lot better that I usually do. Mamma thinks it works but is worried about having to use it too much, long term would not be a good thing for me and would probably cause other problems. so we’ll proceed slowly and see how things go. My herbs were increased a bit for the tummy and the dizziness one was put back to once a day seems there is no more signs of any head tilt!! Yay for that

So Mamma has also suspected the pus is back in my urine and sure enough Deb said my bladder points were very active, so I got acupuncture for that and was given antibiotics by needle again. I hate it but we can’t have the infection getting ahead of us again, right now things aren’t too bad so hopefully it will clear quick. The big issue for me is seems I’m paralyzed on the back when I do my poopies I’m draggin myself around in it, if I’m wearing a diaper or in my cart I use the ladies pad, so its natural no matter now often Mamma changes me that I get contamination from that, so that is how I am getting these e.coli infections. Its a big problem in paralysed pets. So we have to just deal as best we can I guess.

Other than that Deb thought I look quite chipper yesterday and both Mamma and Daddy agreed I was having a pretty good day. Mamma discussed that a lot of my problem is depression as I loose more of my ability to get around and she has asked Mamma to consider my quality of life. Mom told her she has noticed if she keeps me with her and lots of snuggles and now that I sleep with her in the bed, I am much happier and depression is not bothering me, but if I am left in my hutch cause Mamma is having a busy day I am quite depressed and have trouble managing on my own. I like to be hand fed better then left on my own too. So Deb says she has to shift her perception of my care now and think of me as an invalid and take those steps to keep up with my needs. Well both Daddy and Mamma have been doing this and things are getting a bit better. Deb even suggested one of those carrier or slings a person wears over their shoulder so the baby in hanging in front of them, but mamma worries about the added pressure on my hiney, seems there is not muscle there anymore we have to be careful of pressure sores.

So I spend alot more time in my soft pet bed and Daddy put a third leg on my cart with a wheel on my weak side. It looks weird but it helps to give me more support on that side. Mamma still has to get some photos of that yet. And I’m in diapers a lot more, they seem to be keepin me dyer and cleaner now that I’m not moving around much on my own anymore.

So then on the way home Mamma and Daddy decided to take the scenic route and made a few stops to take some pics and enjoy the beautiful place that is our neighborhood! I’ll share  a couple of the photos here but the rest will be in my profile album on bunspace. Yesturday’s photos will be under “Near our House” http://www.bunspace.com/bprofile_photos?bunid=5086.

Here is a favorite of mine but it has a funny story with it!! Mamma has never heard a bunny fart, until yesterday and OMG how embarrassing!! I guess she was squeezing me too tight or something, but I let is go and it was at least 3 or 4 seconds, Mamma thought I let go a bunch of diarrhea or something the way it sounded, but not it was all Audio!! hehehe

Laura and Trinket near Big Bay Ontario

OK, this was taken a cute little parket about 10 km from our house, its Georgain Bay in the background and there are few islands out there too, this rocky beach goes for miles and miles but there are all high end cottages and homes along the water, but here is a nice bit reserved for the public.

The only nasty thing about this little jaunt was when Mamma was carrying me down to the water she stepped right over a snake and didn’t see it. Mamma is big fat chicken with it comes to snakes, but this one is harmless, but Daddy saw it and told her where it was so then on she was all nervous and couldn’t enjoy the beach. On the way back to the truck Daddy took the snakes picture and then Mamma found it when she was uploading the pics to her camera, Oh boy there was some swearing then!! Daddy you are naughty!! No smoochies for you!

So Daddy had to go back to work last night and I had to go with Mamma into town again to drive him to his truck at the shop!! “thump” I was not up for another hours drive, but Mamma won’t leave me on my own no more! She says she could tell I started to get depressed again as soon as Daddy told me he was going again. I was so happy when he came home and I was smoochin on him like crazy this weekend, I guess now that I’m getting more poorly I miss him so much more. Mamma says I was clearly missing him this week and perked right up when he came home. Daddy says maybe he could stay home with me and Mommy could go drive the truck! UM….., NO!!  That’s not a good idea! hehe.

Oh and he was mad at Mom about being on the couch alone without me this weekend seems I started sleepin with Mamma. His last night home, she held me out for my bedtime kiss and he kissed me so nice then Mamma puckered for her kiss and she got ASS!!! hehe Daddy’s  ass is not pretty like a bunny butt!! hehe, well it wasn’t his real butt, it was a cranky face though and then finally she got her kiss. Well you know he has been very mean this weekend, Daddy told Momma SHE had a big ass, mind you she did say that HE was HER ass first! But I have to say he was treading on thin ice with that one, not too many times can a guy get away with tellin his wife she has a big ass unless she did first say that he is her ass. She gave him some serious disapproval anyway all the while he laughed his ass off.     ~OK I have successfully used ass a lot in this paragraph, hehe I was feelin naughty!

OK I can’t remember anymore of what I wanted to share. I’m hanging in there and Mamma will give me more of that appetite stimulant this afternoon and we’ll see how I eat then and I go back on Thursday for another needle

I love you too Mamma xox

This was my favorite photo of the day, I just had to share it!! hehe she is makin her scrunched up bunny face!!
