Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

This is what my friend said and this group is on facebook also:

K&R Small Animal Sanctuary. They are pretty full right now - but may have some contacts or advice. Any idea what type of bunnies or what their story is? Hope they can find something good! Definitely have them separate males and females asap (a vet can confirm the bunny sexes if they aren't 100% confident... and it can be tricky). www.rabbit.org is a great resource on information. WHRS chapter policy does not allow for rehoming non-shelter bunnies but there are some knowledgable folks in regard to care questions.

Georgie laid her first egg!!! I wonder if they start out small like some pullet eggs and get bigger? This one seems plenty big to me ;-)

Btw. Remember Georgie is my goose I got from Jimmy...

geese usually do not lay "pullet" eggs.. but it does seem as they get older, each year the egg gets a little larger.. You don't have a George for Georgia do you ?
borrow one..

Heather do you realize Jim is now pimping out Puppy? He most likely has a "George" lined up for Georgie

I'm with you Sandi on the hoops,,,,Badgers are pretty interesting this year

BBP pretty sure if you sex those wabbits any female you offer should be pregnant, were these dumped off loose? Hard to figure that whole deal,,,,I have raised rabbits off and on over the years,,,always for meat. In the south where people still actually eat cute little fuzzy bunnies those would not have been dumped

Yes, they were all dumped together. I'm not going to be surprised if the does are all pregnant. But I don't have room to separate all of the females, so they may end up killing any young anyway. I considered restricting their diet, feeding lavender, anything to get them to abort. But I did let the lady that already took one know that there is a good chance that she is pregnant. I guess I don't know what to do for sure. I've only had them since Friday morning. I was hoping to get them rehomed within 2 weeks. But not sure there are many normal people out there wanting rabbits right now. 2 of the does are meat-type breeds, but they are so sweet I can't imagine eating them. But at this point it sounds more appealing than possibly letting them live in terrible conditions created by a crazy stalker woman.

Jim, TerriO asked me what type of mix Georgie is? Part African and...???

I do not have a Boy George and I'm fine with that. ;-)

The vet trip today was full of surprises.

The geriatric dog: weird lump on rear right leg was checked, found fatty tissue and nothing else. The lump is in the muscle tissue in the area of what we would call the knee. Her liver values are a bit off; that could be from age or she could have some tumors starting off in her liver. Surgery would be needed for precise answers for both issues, right now we will take the wait and see approach.

The terrier terror: just fine, sassy like always.

Geriatric cat #1 Spice: she is in the beginning stages of renal failure, not uncommon for her age. Need to switch her to a low protein diet. Overall in good health.

Geriatric cat #2 Grover: He is also in the beginning stages of renal failure, so he will also be put on the low protein diet. He is also our mystery case. His WBC values are high. With the different types of WBC, he has some that are high and one that is low. The combination of what is low and what is high is the oddity; he should have a variety of high and low values. The vet is going to do some digging and get back to me. Other than the odd bloodwork, the beginning renal failure, and a temp that was lower than expected, he is in good health.

The really good news of the day?

No one had jaundice.
No one had hepatic lipidosis
No one had pancreatic issues

Feline Triaditis did not rear its ugly head.

You named the goose Jim gave you?????

 

[Celtic Chick]

Mel,how old are Spice & Grover?

Our 17 YO cat has renal failure and is doing wonderfully on a combination of benazepril and calcitriol. It has really improved her quality of life tremendously. Just thought I'd toss that out there.
