It’s been quite some time since I posted, and a great deal of the delay has been due to the fact that little Wicket has been undergoing and recovering from her spay surgery. Of course things couldn’t run entirely smoothly, and the Vet called me on the day of her spay to say that there was some excess bleeding after the fact, and she would have to reopen the bunny.
Wicket survived not one, but two surgeries that day, and went home with the very good veterinarian that night. The next day she was doing well enough to be allowed to come home. She was pretty quiet and subdued, but soon got back into the swing of things, attempting a vicious assault on my hand.
A visit to the vet a day or two later, another antibiotic injection, and Wicket is back to her usual self. (Read: grumpy and violent.) The spay is supposed to calm them down some, but with the way she is thrashing around in her cage, and her disdainful thumping when she is allowed out indicate that the calmness may be a far off dream.
She certainly is one tough little rabbit however, and she seems to have won over the hearts of the vetinary clinic with her sweet fuzziness and her resilience.
