Dijon's X-ray day


This is what the bunnies think of us today, after they had to spend six hours at the vet surgery yesterday. 

Dijon was sedated to have X-rays, which revealed the cause of his limping (which started last week) - a ruptured knee ligament. He hadn't responded to Loxicom for pain relief, prescribed at last week's appointment, so we suspected it wasn't arthritis - especially as it was such a sudden development. He also had a dental to burr some long teeth and sharp spurs, and more investigations into his watery right eye - a problem which started a few weeks ago and hasn't responded to the antibiotic eye drops or the tear duct flush. X-rays showed that tooth roots aren’t the problem, so this one is a bit of a mystery, as is the large, superficial ulcer on his left eye. 

Ebony had her vaccination - it's great that they only require one trip for the new triple vaccine, but they both have to go back for an appointment next week to check how Dijon's doing! They are expecting lots of treats today and planning their avoidance scheme for next week's trip.
