Why is it that emergencies only seem to happen on holidays or in the middle of the night?
It’s been a while since I last posted. The last time I posted, I believe it was about the fact that I was finally moving out of my parents’ house. Tiger is still housed in her exercise pen while we get her habitat set up, and it’s coming along nicely – almost done, in fact! And I just recently got a goldfish. I got up in the middle of the night tonight because I remembered that I had to do a water change, and then I realized that Tiger never ate her evening meal. She ran over to it, seemed excited to have it, but won’t eat. Won’t eat pellets, veggies, or hay. I put in a rare papaya treat for her, and she only nibbled on it. So I spent the next while sweeping, cleaning her litter box so I can check for poops in the morning, putting in assorted treats and alfalfa cubes, and taking out her fleece blanket. I examined it, but I couldn’t find any tears, so can’t think of anything that would be causing a blockage. But I can’t think of what else would be wrong with her. She keeps hopping over to her litter box, and sits in it. I then dug around her closet until I found her Critical Care and syringe. I’m thinking of taking her to work with me in the morning and getting a coworker to help me hold her and force the mix in. And maybe a car ride will help somehow. Animals are weird sometimes, how you can’t always figure out what’s wrong, and sometimes they seem to get better for no reason other than you brought them to the vet, or you brought them somewhere. And then they’re glad to be home and they’re normal again. I’m sort of hoping that’s what happens tomorrow.
She was so active this morning! She was so happy to spend some time with me. She did lots of binkies when I sat down in the x-pen with her! She’s also taken to circling me on rare occasions, which I love, but was never expecting out of her, since I had her spayed when she was younger. She’s fairly lethargic now. I imagine tomorrow will be eventful or uneventful enough for me to know when to take her to the vet. I might end up taking her straight from when my shift when work is done tomorrow. (Glad I only work a half day!) (Glad I planned for an emergency rabbit fund before I moved out!) DX
Going to bed. Needed to rant. And maybe someone can suggest something I haven’t thought of. Writing the post helped me to organize my thoughts, so even if no one has any ideas for me, this has already helped. I have a plan for tomorrow. Goodnight!
