And I’m pretty excited about it and hopeful.
I had found the number, oddly enough, of a vet closer to me than my current one while browsing the Oxbow site last week. (Apparently they are a vendor for Oxbow products.) So I called them this morning to see if they had rabbit savvy vets on board. (that would make a cute little yellow sign on the window of your car…lolz)
They said they saw rabbits, but mostly the healthier ones (good to note for possible future nail trims) and so I asked them for a referral. (I didn’t identify myself, I wanted to go incognito.)
They recommended, get this, the vet hospital that my son’s dog went to when his back was broken! I spoke with the receptionist (who confirmed my dog had been seen there when she looked up my name in her computer) for a few mintues and she seemd much more comfortable with the whole subject of exotics care and said they have TWO docs there that see bunnies. So I pressed further…do these docs see bunnies as livestock, or as house bunnies? She said definitely house bunnies, and in a tone that implied compassion for our little furry friends. So I jumped in with both feet and decided to make an appointment for Mimzy. At first they would only be able to see him next Friday…but then she found one for this Saturday at 11, so I took it.
It is sounding like hope may have been restored to find out what is causing Mimzy’s nasal problems. I am just shaking in anticipation, there is must something about the sound of these people that pokes that little voice inside that says, “It’s going to be alright.”
When I think of all the stuff we’ve gone through lately, and how frustrating it was to not be able to make my appointment with my regular doctor yestereday, (due to the car crash), I have to wonder…was this meant to happen this way? Could I finally have found someone who may cure Mimzy of his troubles?
And if so…that would be good. He is showing signs of his confinement physically now (I noticed a sore on one of his front toes last night-Neosporin-ed it) and to my dismay, Fiver had a sneezing fit last night. It could be spreading, whatever it is. (Kind of doubt allergies at this point.)
So perhaps soon, we may have a new vet for the bunnies. Could I aks you all hold a good thought for Mimzy as we see this new vet? (And on a Saturday too…that’s epic!)
Maybe the nightmare is over at last!
And here’s the odd thing, I had lost the number to the first vet until I picked up my Bible this morning and realized I’d used the paper I’d written the number on for a bookmark in Job. 0_o
You can make of that what you will. ^_^
