        Well the dreaded biopsy is being done.   He isn’t better still all scabby.  I was told to leave him there and she will get to him as soon as she can.   I will get a call when he is ready to go home.   HE has to go under for this.

        OH dear poor Cotton. I hated leaving him there alone.  He is so nervous he was breathing hard his ears were wiggling and his eyes were big.

        When the vet came to see him I put him on the table.  He leapt into the vets arms.  She was funny. HE surprised her. She said I keep forgetting he does this. Then after the bad news he jumped onto me.  And I caught him. 

        The vet laughed and said you just take it in stride she thougth that was funny.   She is so sweet her.

        I get to pay some every month.  Thats good.  Now I have laptop and vet due each month.  I am just so thankful I can do this.  I don’t qualify for care credit.  

        I  hope it is something easily treated.  I took  his willow tunnel away 4 weeks ago in case he was injuring himself on that.  Got them new bowls and litterboxes.  I am going to take him off blueberries agian and see.  Probably not the problem.

        He has itched at it very very gently twice in 2 weeks.  The vet asked about these things and about chinning. He doesn’t chin stuff.

        I hope he will be ok he has to go under for this.  Poor Cotton.  I want to hold him til his time comes.  I don’t think they will allow that in the waiting room cause dogs come in and might go for him.  That would not be safe.

        The good news it isn’t puffy red or swollen anymore.  Those scabs though just will not go away. I can’t leave him like that. Even though he is more energetic.  Leaving him that way just isnt’ right.  It does hurt him when I pet him and accidentally press on his head he leaps up so I know it hurts him.

        I asked if it could be cancer she said I doubt it. It isn’t spreading and the swelling went down.

            Aw, BT I’m so sorry to hear you had to leave him there. Yes, there’s nothing more frustrating than having to wait for a procedure like this and not be able to hold your bun through the whole thing.
            Cotton Boo is in my prayers as are you. Give Ruby a big hug for me an when Cotton gets home a big hug for him too!

              It sounds like you have a good vet and a biopsy should be the answer to figure out what this is to get your sweet little Boo back to 100%.

              Please keep us posted- I had been wondering how he was doing!

                How did he do? Is he home now?

                This might cheer you up: Cotton was selected (#84 I thnk) to have his picture in the BunSpace calendar next year. They had the first group on the calendar main photos, then I think they’re having smaller ones throughout. His is listed to be there.

                So Cotton Boo, you have to heal fast for your future fans!

                  When I went to pick him up he was very alert.  He has to go back  to get his stitches out.  His results will be in in a few days.

                  OH wow he got a place in bunspace calendar.  COOL.  I better go see. Ididn’t think he got in.

                  They had some real cute ones in there.

                  The vets are quite puzzled about his lip situation.  I emailed Dana Krempels see if she ever heard of this.

                        thank you everyone.

                        Cotton isn’t digging on me tonite he probably doesn’t feel good.  HE did come for pets and did a bunny flop.

                        The vets office called to see how he is doing.  He is eating good.  YEp pooping he left me some.  He didnt’ scent them tonite.

                        I am anxiously awaiting his results.
