How is Pippin getting on, Farthing? Anymore progress with his feet? |

Hi Mags, Pippin is doing fine. He has had his front feet trimmed and some more work on his back feet done again, the blacksmith is back on Wenesday to do a bit more work. I have got some photos but I had to take them on my old phone and Mike hasn't figured out how to upload them yet. We had some good news about his worm count, in that it isn't too high, so we can worm him safely. I spoke to a local feed company to get some feeding advice from their nutritionalist, so we have started to feed him- speedibeet, alpha-A lite, a mineral suppliment and a pro/pre boitic to support his stomach through the stress. Next week we will worm him after his system has settled to being fed. He is only getting a small amount of food and we are taking things very slowly. His coat is looking much better and he let me brush his tail out tonight, well, I started it yesterday, so he is starting to look like a cared for animal. He doesn't like his exercises but tolerates them, and is a bit sore afterwards but hopefully they will pay off. I'm off to bed now, we have stared to get up at 5-30 to let us get through a lot of chores before we go to work, but it means instead of sitting in front of the computer at night I want to crawl into bed!  I will try and get the photos uploaded, although I have to say there isn't much change to his body condition, I know we don't want to put on weight quickly, but at the same time I want to see him as he should be- I'm a very impatient woman.  |

It's lovely to hear he is slowly progressing, he is very lucky to have someone like you and your OH to care so much about him. It must be very hard getting everything organised and done, let alone caring for all the sick animals as well ..........I think you deserve a pat on the back...well done!  |

Sorry I haven't been on much this week, I been nursing/ worrying about my wee bun, Smokey. He was my bunny with breathing problems and was on an inhaler, and at the beginning of the week he deveoped an head tilt, more commonly caused by a parasite which can attack the brain. Sadly on Saturday we had to PTS him as he deteriorated overnight. Anyway I got some photos of Pippin todya for you to see his new feet. Fronts.  Backs,  Pippin today,  |

What a difference Farthing, also he has a covering on his ribs now, that makes such a difference to him too. Can see by his quarters he still has a way to go but as you said, slowly will need to be the way for him. Is he sore on his feet? It is going to take a few farrier visits for them to be trimmed to a 'normal' size, but what a huge difference. Sorry about the rabbit. It is such a pity that he had both issues to worry about. CM |
