More sad news

I’m afraid there is more sad news on the rabbit front.

It looks that Joey has caught the Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection that caused Sun to die. He has lost a lot of weight, very unsteady on his back leg, and seems to be very clingy.

Fae, his companion, doesn’t show any symptoms at the moment, which is a relief, but it would be logical to assume she is also infected. Luna, our third rabbit, shows no signs and has always been kept separate from the other rabbits.

We’re absolutely devistated, obviously. We’ve only just started to get over losig Sun to this disease, and now it seems we’re going to lose Joey.

We have moved Fae and Joey in to the kitchen, and quarantined Luna to the hall (the furthest place from the kitchen). From our research, the infection is only spread in their urine, so there is almost 0% risk of it spreading.

Tonight we’re going to smash up the outdoor hutch and throw it away. The hutch has had too many past occupants - Charlie, Macy, Earl and Sun - all of which have left us one way or another.

Vets bills

We had the vet bill come through the door on Monday, for when Sun left us.

£142.50.

We were absolutely shocked, to say the least. Included in the invoice were:

An injection the vet gave without asking our consent first
An oral medicine we later returned
Euthanisation
Cremation
Consultation

We discussed our options, and went to the vets to talk to someone about the high cost. Whilst waiting to see someone, the vet practise must have taken over £300 from what we overheard in the waiting room.

We had it out with the vet - or rather Maxi did (I’m ever so proud of her!) - and the vet took reduced the invoice by nearly £100!

It just goes to show that some companies will try to take money off you any which way they can, and if you stand up and say “no” they may well do something about it.

So next time you get an invoice for something that seems a little high, then do something about it. I know we certainly will do from now on!
