Chuck to the vet tomorrow

[Kokaneeandkahlua]

Chuck has a bit of nasal discharge-it’s not colored (I wiped with my finger and checked) It’s not normal for him and it definitely wasn’t from drinking water -so I made him an appointment.-maybe a little paranoid but he’s six and I dont’ want to take a chance. I’m sneaking out of work at nine to take him (well not sneaking when I have to stay late to make up for it and I asked but ) so hopefully by noon or so I’ll have an update on what she thinks and results from tests by afternoon? I’m hoping there’s nothing wrong-he’s sweet but a fighter and I am not looking forward to potentially having to do baytril or something for two weeks-he’s *hate* momma then!

oh no! Will you take Noot too? I guess Chuck might be more exposed to things about the place now that he’s more mobile. Let hope it’s only minor
(((Chuckles)))

Oh, poor Chuckie! ((((hugs)))) I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, and I know what you mean. Mimzy is only 2, but I still get so worked up when he’s doing that projectile sneezing of his.

((((Vibes)))) for Chuck!

Just saw this. How’d he make out at the vet? What’s wrong?
*offers hanky to Chuck*
*waits for remarks about hanky…*

If it’s a culture I imagine it could take longer than that – sometimes they may take a week to see if anything is growing.

Hope he’s okay.

Ok-we’re back from the vet (sorry I’m at work and I couldn’t post from work yesterday or this morning!!! Now its working-thank goodness-I thought I’d have to work at wrok )

He had a full exam-dental, weight, temperature (poor guy!) and she couldn’t find anything really wrong-granted it is just a small amount of runniness to his nose. But he’s six and I don’t mind being paranoid. Checked lungs and they are not congested, bloodwork and culture waiting on but she doesn’t think anything is wrong-what is bizarre is the runny nose is the nostril that would drain his eye that’s been removed. Since their is no eye there (and it’s not sinus because that’d be both nostrils) she thinks the ducts that would go from the eye to nose may be irritated-seasonal or dusty hay. We’ll see what the results are -and she gave me her cell if it does worsen but she thinks he’s really healthy and just has a little irritation. Noot came with him to the vet of course and she gave him a once over as well-proclaiming him “Very cute” (which is a diagnosis I like!)
So I knew it was a ‘just in case’ visit, borderline paranoia; But I’m glad to have her opinion that things are good and we’ll wait for results and see if there is anything to be worried about. She’d like to see him, if it is nothing, in a couple of weeks if it’s still running and hasn’t worsened or gone away to do some skull xrays to see what it looks like just in case.

I’m so glad he just had something up his little nosie.  And yay for a diagnosis of “very cute”!

I meant to tell you,I posted a summary of Chuck and Noot’s story (with pictures) on a bunny community on livejournal and everyone loved it.  It’s such a wonderful story about the power of friendship – I hope you don’t kind.

Not at all Thanks

Well that sounds like good news! ^_^ I wish that was all we could say for Mimzy, but my vet doesn’t want to take chances and he’s on another round of meds.

Pam! xD lol! :X
