Good bunny

Meda's getting surgery today. She has a jaw abscess that's developed over the last few weeks, and even though we've been giving her antibiotics for a week, it seemed to get larger. So, the vet thought the best course of action was to cut her open and clean her up.

I left an article on the bicillin antibiotic protocol for rabbits for the vet to read. I hope she reads it and thinks it is worth a shot. It could help get rid of lingering infection for Meda. However, it requires regular injections, which I would have to administer.

I'm waiting for the vet to call and let me know the outcome...I'm nervous about her being put under. Smaller animals can have trouble sometimes. So, I'm completely distracted.

UPDATE: I got a call from the vet at 4:15PM. Meda was doing fine until they were getting ready to take her off the anesthesia. She developed breathing problems and died.

I didn't think when I said goodbye to her this morning that it would be the last time.
