        The time has finally come! He is over a year old and my vet has finally given me the green light to get him neutered. I wanted to get him neutered earlier but the vet wanted to hold off until he was at least a year old. He was going to be neutered a few months ago but one of his testicles had not descended.

        I am happy and extremely nervous. I’ve been down this road more than once but it is still nerve wracking every time. 

        I drop him off Wednesday morning before I go to work and pick him up at 5pm.

                I know! With all of the bunnies and foster cats I have I basically have someone neutered or spayed on a regular basis. This should be routine for me.

                But nope nerve galore.

                Thanks for the good vibes! I’ve stocked up on his favorite foods and prepared myself for grumpy pants.

                        Got a call at 1:30 and had to pick him up. His neuter has been rescheduled for next Wednesday. The vet ended up in a surgery a lot longer than expected and didn’t want him to sit stressed in a cage longer than necessary.

                        So guess I am doing it all over next week. Yay………… Lol.

                          You seem to have a good, painstaking vet who knows the importance of not stressing a bunny. That’s good!

                          Now spoil him. (Moonshine that is, not the vet.)

                            I appreciated that she would rather me bring him home than have him sit in the holding cage for who knows how long. He gets really stressed in new places.

                            How does one spoil an already spoiled rotten bun????

                                                *sigh* Okay I’m having issues with the receptionist. She can’t “find” the vet. And she can’t “find” Moonshine’s appointment.

                                                How do you lose a vet exactly?

                                                I’m a little annoyed.

                                                  Not happening again today. After sitting at the vets office for 2 hours we were told to come back Friday. His regular vet wasn’t in and the other rabbit vet was supposed to do his neutered but couldn’t be “found.” Now I don’t know what exactly that means but the receptionist wasn’t very forthcoming with information.

                                                  I am very very irritated.

                                                    That is not OK. Poor Moonshine, being taken there and kept there for so long just to be sent home a second time

                                                        I am more annoyed than anything. I was supposed to drop him off and then go to work. But instead I was very very late for work and had an irritated rabbit to take home. But we sat in the vet waiting room for 2 hours which made Moonshine agitated and he started thumping when it started getting crowded. But luckily he is rather easy to calm down (but he is still not happy about being stuck in a carrier that he doesn’t like for almost 3 hours this morning). So after sitting there I was told he wouldn’t be neutered today and to bring him back Friday.

                                                        I like the regular vet. But I am not fond of the office I take them to. I would almost rather go back to driving 4 hours to a vet.

                                                                Moonshine was FINALLY neutered! Everything went smoothly. He was brought home at 4pm on Friday. He pretty much ate all of the food in his cage and drank water as soon as he was out of the carrier. He wasn’t happy with me though. If I even peeked in at him he would thump at me. I found it amusing, he did not. But his incision looks good and aside from being a big groggy from the pain meds he is pretty much normal.
