Hi everyone,
Thank you for all of the good luck wishes for Esther aka Essy!

I dropped her off at the vet around 8am this morning and discovered that she was having the same nurse as Beka and Rachel did. This made me rather happy since Erica knows a lot about bunnies since she has a couple of her own. I started getting really nervous around 11:30 and when they hadn't called around 12:15 i called them. I was initially told that Esther hadn't gone in then and that she was doing fine.

Erica called about 20 min later saying that the receptionist got it wrong and that Esther had already gone in and was doing fine. They've had multiple spays today so she must have just gotten the order wrong. She said that everything was a.ok. with her and that she's just fat. So now she and the rest of the buns are going on a stricter diet since if Esther is fat than Mary and Leah are fatter. I think its partly because they've gotten their winter fat and coat. They were skinner in the summer and earlier on in the fall. They still need to lose some weight though.

Anyways, Essy is doing fine right now. I have her cage sitting on my desk with a blanket over it for some privacy. The nurse at the vet said she ate some food there and i heard her nibbling on some lettuce in the car. She has honey flavored Metacame for pain medication to take twice a day for five days.

I just sneaked a peak at her and she's laying down in her cage. I hope the strange smells and sounds of the upstairs doesn't stress her out. I'm going to keep her in my room until saturday/sunday. I'm then going to move her into a bigger cage and put it inside the pen she shares with Rachel and Brighton until about next thursday. That way she can be with Rach and Brighton without overexerting herself.

I was pleasantly surprised at the price. I was expecting it to be about $30 more than what it was. Her total spay plus medication came to $273.95. I would have liked it to be lower but....

Thanks again for all of the good luck wishes and prayers ^o^
