ack, I took Pringles to the 3rd vet for 'fixing' and it's been postponed again. Maybe this bunny wasn't destined to be sterile.

I took him/her to my regular vet (before I realized I needed a real bunny doctor) twice and the vet said it was a boy and 'they' hadn't dropped yet. The 3rd visit I stayed in the room and held Pringles while he looked again and finally asked ME 'where do rabbits keep them anyway?' We're outta there!

2 months later I took Pringles to a local vet who is pretty rabbit savy and neuters males. I get a laughing phone call about noon that HE is a SHE and they don't do spays. Home again and major stink eye for a week.

After talking with people in the North Texas Rabbit Society they send me to the one vet in Waco that they trust.  He's older and has doesn't work everyday. We go and get cancelled 2 different times.

Today, after calling at 5 pm yesterday and confirming our appointment again, I get to the vet's office and he's called in sick. YIKES. This bunny is really mad at me. They're keeping her for me today since it's a 30 mile drive home and we'll reschedule again.

If this doesn't work, I guess I'll take 2 days vacation to drive to Dallas with Pringles, they keep them 2 days, then come home and work from the house a day or 2 to be around to watch her. I wish a vet here in Waco would realize this is a specialty they really need to get into!

sorry, just venting. That rabbit is going to be furious when I pick her up this afternoon. She was angry that I didn't let her out of the cage at the normal time this moring and I found ALL the litter kicked outside the cage.

oh wow!!!!!!!! i would be mad if that was happening to me!!! as a matter of fact i'm getting my bun neutered tomorrow.

Hey kralspace, I saw your post on Craig's List Pet Forum!

 

Kralspace,  OMG.  That's just ridiculous!  I can't believe it.   You have every right to vent!  I would be highly frustrated!!!  I am mad just reading your post.   Arggh!!!     

I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed, and my bunnies are keeping their paws crossed that it will soon finally work out!! Dagnab those bad experiences!  (is dagnab really a word?...anyway, you know what I mean)

Oh my I would be at the end of my rope with that. But in the end it's best to have it done, I just wish you didn't have to drive so far.

wow what a mess! I will commend you for being so conscientious and not giving up. i am so sorry to hear you've had such a tough time, i would be pretty angry too.

Thanks for all the comfort. I'm not really angry with the vet, just frustrated. Pringles really enjoyed the run of the house in the evenings, but once she hit puberty and started peeing and heavily marking everything, especially my bed, I've had to confine her to back to one room where I can watch her closely.

She was honking mad when I picked her up. The vet tech had put her back in the box (my daughter has my carrier right now) and called for an aide to bring her out front to me and the aide didn't know what was in there. The box was barking, huffing and oinking all at the same time with a thump or two thrown in...lol

She couldn't believe it was a rabbit.  Guess we'll try again later

 

 

A huffing box! HAHAHAHA! Well, you have incredible patience! Were they able to reschedule the surgery?

That made me laugh out loud, too! Crazy she-buns!

I can see my Pepper making a fuss like that too.

"Timid little woodland creature" my @$$!!

That is soo true!  I don't know how many people I have talked to that are amazed that bunnies even growl.  When I tell them all the other antics they are shocked.  I guess the image of sweet gentle little fuzzy faces and cute puffy tails is quite deceiving.  Bunnies can be bossy and very opinionated. I just love 'em!
