Trinket’s Blog~ Update, Magazines and Video
Sun ,05/07/2009Hello Kiddies, in advance sorry this is so long!!
Well I am sorry I haven’t updated before now, been kinda depressed and frustrated the last several days, but I am hanging in there.
I did NOT get my teeth trimmed on Friday as expected
I was so upset about not having my teeth done when I woke up on Tuesday from that very weird nap I had at the vets and although I wasnt’ looking forward to doing it again I want it over with. My mouth has been bugging me.
Anyway we called in the vet on Friday as we had a tentative 3pm appointment and Mamma was told it was a no go
She did not understand why so sent out a somewhat crany email to the vet only to find her computer was not letting her send email, OMG what next? Finally around the late afternoon she got it working and then we had to wait to evening to get our reason why everything was delayed.
So this is the scoop. Dr Dave wants to use a different sedative than they normally use, but this one is very expensive and is usually bought in a bulk tray of 10 vials, they have used it before its good, but I guess there are cheaper options that are nearly as good so they never use up the vials so they don’t order it. So they have been calling all over the area to find a vet who will sell them a vial so they do my procedure (Dr D thinks they will have better success sedating me with this drug and its super safe where as the alternatives are stronger but not so safe on older/weaker animals
Those were his words. so this stuff has to come by mail via a controled substace provider and it takes a week if they got to order it plus the whole 10 vial thing. Uh OH!! So I think we are still waiting….
The other thing that happened is the next few days after my partial sedation on Tuesday is that my teeth really started to bug me. I laid my face on the pillow one night in bed and there was a huge wet mark come up and I kept licking and grinding my teeth so Mamma gave me Metacam but I still tried to chew off my own bib I was so upset, so she held me for half an hour until I could calm down enough to go to sleep. I kept grinding my teeth for a few days and needed the Metacam, but it only works for 12 hours but you can only give it every 24, its not safe to give it more frequently. I wasn’t too happy
So the scary thing is that both Dr D and Dr Deb are now worried I got something more serious going on with my teeth as tolook in there they don’t look bad enough to be bothering me that much, like possibley a bone infection, or arthritis or who knows what and he wants to take xrays, but Mamma has said no to this for right now. although this scares the cwap outta Mamma she realized we can’t really go down that path anyway. I wouldn’t be able to handle any kind of surgery that is for sure and even the long periods of antibiotics I can’t handle either, it would all be too much and way to risky for me so what can we do? Not to mention things financially are extremely tight for the rest of the year anyway and now we already go a huge bill, it doesn’t make sense to do the xrays to have results that are just gonna upset her and she can’t even persue treatment. So we’ll wait for now.
So very controversially (desperately actually) Mamma has started to experiement with me and an alternative HERB that is known to stimulate appettite, especially in very sick people like cancer patients. There is no studies or data for bunnies and this herb so mamma is treading very carefully with very small doses. My first one I did get a wee bit sleepy, but not too much and then I did eat some salad on my own and later that day I sat in her lap in the truck and she hand fed me tons of greens. We were both so hopefull that we had finally found something that would help me out, but each dose since has not created any eating at all
Mamma is so confused and frustrated that it appeared like it would work and then the next days no results. She is gonna talk over all this with Dr Deb on Monday as she is the herbal expert. We’ll see what she thinks. she had talked about this special herb with Dr Deb and Dr D before they both thought in therory it should work, but have no experience with it so she is on her own again.
With all that has been going on Mamma has managed to squeeze in an extra mash feeding each day and she and Daddy think I feel thicker up top again but my weight is still .9kg I was on my skate board yesterday and Daddy came around the corner and her found me on my back again and when he picked me up my eyes were darting side to side just like the begining of head tilt!!
Mamma stayed calm and they took me over to the table by the window so they could get good light and see into my ears, sure enough in each I had a huge plug of wax again. So Mamma got together all the cleaning stuff, the q tips, the ear cleaner, the tweezers and Daddy carefully tried to pick out the plug of wax. Now my ears are so tight, even the vet finds it impossible to clean my ears, but finally after a half hour or so of both them trying, Mamma finally successfully got them clean, even Daddy was super impressed as Mamma has such a hard time seeing up close. And you know what??? The eye darting instantly stoped after my ears were clean. mamam thought all the digging around in there might have inflammed it more temperarily but nope I was fine right away although they were pretty red. Its very weird how I am so sensative to a bit of wax build up, this is three times now my mini head tilts have been cleared up with ear cleaning.
OK enough of all that CWAP, now for some exciting news!! Mamma got contacted by some lady who works for a TV show/ Web site (Get Married.com) who is launchign a semi anual magazine in October. its mostly a planning guide for brides I think but anyway they got this pet section and sure there is a lot of dog stuff out there, the lady freaked out when she happend to find our Tinkie Couture on the net!! Hehe, that’s right she loved the wedding dress and the tiara! So she wanted Mamma to submit her photos for them to use in the mag. The only sad thing is they don’t want to use the pic of me in the dress cause I was very sick then and its sad not happy for a bridal mag so Mamma said she’d try some new pics of me and if we couldn’t get an upbead photo she’d make a new dress that would fit Puds.
After two days of sewing an alterations Mamma got a dress that fits both Puds and Gracie and would you know it, Puds was a complete poo head when it came to taking the photos and Gracie was like an Angel!! She was working that dress like any super model from Milan so I think its gonna be Gracie as the new and fresh face of Tinkie Couture in the the fall release of this magazine. hehe we even got movie clips of her hopin around the deck in that dress, OMG how cute, she didn’t freak out or nothing. It was so funny Daddy had her on a card table on the deck as taking the picture and all of sudden Gracie goes leapin off the table and ran over to her sand box so she could pee!! LOL what a good girl and she didn’t even get the dress dirty.
She is so pretty. I feel bad my photo in the dress won’t be used, they don’t want to see a crippled sick bunny in a wedding dress And I feel bad for Puds, she was so excited about the idea of being famous, but I think Gracie really deserves it, this photo she looks so lovely, it won’t be one of the photos submitted, Mamma just thought she looked so lovely here she wanted to show you guys. Way to go Gracie!! ( I will encourage Mamma to hurry up and post a little vid of Gracie running around in the dress!!, OMG it so cute!!)
Oh and fianlly here is an old movie from last month I think that finally Mamma has gotten around to getting together for me. No fun music in this one, just a quick shot of me getting in my cart.
Ok so that’s it from here for now. We’ll go on a nice stroll in the stroller later today I think it will be nice, but right now its time for my mash. I love you guys!! (( smooches )) xox T
