The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good evening, Everybun!

It's been stormy and cloudy all day, and the giant flamethrower in the sky stayed out of sight.

Our biped also stayed out of sight as much as he could. Of course, hanging out with us and staying out of sight are somewhat mutually exclusive, but we need a weekend once in a while too. 

Don't worry, though - the afternoon is still young, and he'll do what he can to make up for this this evening.

All of his pencils and stuff are picked out and lined up.

And if all goes well, there won't be anything to report till next Saturday. Just keep your paws crossed for us and keep them good waves coming.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Bun morning, Everybun!

We’re doing pretty well. Tuesday’s visit to the v.e.t. went well; the expression wasn’t too terrible, and Charlie was in good spirits by the end of the day. Of course, we’re not talking proper “nannerini spirits.”

Thump!

The biped said something to Ruby, the Technician, about having difficulties gauging Charlie’s level of discomfort, and Dr. Learning came back with, Charlie has earned her right to daily Metacam doses.”

Thump!

That’s all good and dandy, but ya don’t wanna hear stuff like that! And we got a script for Gabapentin as an option, as needed.

Thuuuuuump!

But all that sounds about right for a M*nd*y, masquerading as a Tuesday.

So let me repeat: Charlie is doing well, and knock-on-wood, we didn’t need to resort to any extraordinary measures.

Today we just want to have a reset. Catch up on naps - loaf - art in the afternoon.

The sorry sod is trying to get his caboose rolling, so the afternoon is cleared for drawing - we didn’t do nearly enough of that last week.

We’ll keep you posted!

Hoppy Labour Day!

Hoppy Labour Day, again, Everybunny!

I think we're doing well. I say, "I think," because the biped started to worry this morning about Charlie hiding just a tiny, tiny, tiny touch too much. It's either that or the bounce is completely gone from his bungee. "Is Charlie having difficulties urinating again?" was the question. Of course, he does not yet know how to do anything near the bladder expression, so he put her in the hay bin; she got mad, peed all over his paw, and all is well for the moment. 

We are still in the "The V.E.T. is closed" phase of the "weekend blackout," and that is the toughest part about the long weekends like this. But tomorrow we'll see Dr. Learning, for the "usual," so keep those paws crossed and keep theme good waves coming.

We took a vote around the burrow and decided that no matter what, this is the best holiday of the year. You can do that, you know. You shred the calendar, use it as a bin filler, and make your own where you decide what's important. 

There's no pressure of any sort to do anything or be a certain way; there's no grain to go against, and however you want to go about this day is the right way.

So we got a little arting done, and the hoomin is now convinced that, yes, you better use the good paper if you're going to mess with water. But that's OK, we'll do more today, and we'll use the good stuff.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Bun evening, Everybun!

The calendar might have rolled over into September, but the infernal heat continues to roll over us. The good news is, there are no blobs forecast to form in the Atlantic anytime soon.

Can you imagine having to evacuate and then try to find an exotic v.e.t? Dr. Zellner mentioned that she can show my biped how to do the bladder expression, and he may just take her up on it.

So we're grateful for the quiet tripics and this very lazy summer bunday. The rains came early today, watered the strawberry, and set the mood for loafing and artiong. The sorry sod is trying to catch up on sleeps; we're trying to catch up on doing bunny things, and there you have it. 

We arted last night and finished a big sketch pad with Gus as an experiment on the inside back cover. Now the plan is to use up more of the art supplies collection.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybun! 

Last Sunday Night

I'm doing better, and the biped is going out of his way to over-cookie and snack me without over-treating and snacking. I'm in the hay bin, noming up the hay like there's no tomorrow.

M*nd*y

I'm wings-level and starting to climb again to my usual bunitude. At my discretion, of course.
In the morning, the v.e.t. called, and Dr. Zellner wants to see me. She missed me on Saturday. And there goes my afternoon. But the checkup goes well, and I don't even get mad, and I enjoy a chunk of papaya right in the exam room.

Poor Gus gets his for a change too. Nail trim, blood work, works.

The hoomin stayed clear of us that evening. 

Tuesday

The v.e.t. called to check on me. Then called again to let us know Gus's results came back whistle-clean. More treats! We even art a little. 

Wednesday

The day becomes a tumbleweed-sized hairball on fire for the hoomin. He can't even, but oddly enough, he does. 

Thursday

The hairball continues to smolder. But we're doing just fine.

Friday

The long weekend for my hoomin is here. Now comes the hard part - dealing with the post-tar-pit bends. Can't relax too quickly or that last working brain cell will pop. So we get a major cleanup. 

Everything is changed, bundos rearranged, the cookies stay the same. Art-wise, the day is wasted, though.

Today

Charlie really hates the Trimeth/Sulfa; just hates it with passion. The biped tries to get the meds in quickly, but this stinks. She gets mad, runs, hides, and it takes a blueberry the size of a peach to try and distract her after the meds. Now the plan is for the biped to stay out of sight again for as long as he can so we can "do bunny things." 

I'm working on some fresh apple sticks. These suckers are serious - if I ever need to make a stake for stabbin' through the heart, which he obviously ain't got, these are the sticks.

We'll keep you posted!

The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good evening, Everybun!

Like Auntie Jane said, "We're in good shape for the shape we're in." Our visit with Dr. Learning at Avian and Animal Hospital went really well. Just imagine - two bunn-savy doctors in one place! Dr. Learning expressed Charlie's bladder, and a lot of stuff came out. That covered our fear of the bladder stone plugging up the poor girl. Then we decided to repeat the bloodwork we did back in February. And the numbers came back OK.
Creatinine is at 1.0 (no change) and something called "BUN" - we kid you not - went from 11 to 13 - still on the low end of the normal range. And even calcium went down a touch from 14.5 to 14.3.

My biped has been worried sick over those numbers for weeks now, and it's a relief to know we're holding wings level as much as we can.

Today, though, the meatsack has no idea how Charlie's doing. It's been a rough few days for Charlie. All we can do now is let her rest as much as possible. She's doing better on one paw, and on the other she sits in a bundo, staring off into space. Then she comes out for a cookie, and the dude is bouncing off the walls.

So the silly goose decided to pick a fight with the elephant grass in the yard to bleed off some of that scared energy, and it helped. The caring fatigue starts to feel chronic, with few means in sight to recharge. And nobunny wants to hear nothing' about "No end in sight" either.

If all goes well, we'll art tonight, hang out, pretend we're terrific. We experimented with a combination of a graphite stick, a water-soluble pencil, matte acrylic medium, and canvas. It all went sideways. Thank Bun it was a tiny canvas. 

Tomorrow, we have the option to drop off Charlie at the clinic, first thing in the morning, but that would mean extra stress as well. We're keeping our paws crossed for Charlie to keep on healing through the night. I'm supposed to get my wellness check at 5pm tomorrow, but if Charlie needs more care, she can have my spot. I'll get my nails trimmed and get the rest checked out later.

Good night and good luck!
- Gus

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybunny!

Something bad has been brewing since yesterday. Friday morning, my biped discovered a bunch of bloody pee spots from Charlie. We have seen this before, so we didn't panic, and Charlie seemed to be doing better by the evening. We thought, "Oof, another close one, but we'll call Dr. Zellner first thing Saturday morning anyway."

Today we can't get any pee out of Charlie. When we do fluids or give her recovery food, she will always get mad enough to urinate at least a tiny bit. Not today. She ate almost 20 ml of Sarx mix, and the pee pad stayed dry.

Well, Dr. Zellner is not it today (the clinic is closed on Fridays). So we're going to see Dr. Learning at the Avian. We were going to wait until M*nd*y morning and drop off Charlie first thing in the morning, but that's too much of a wait. 

This is new territory, and it feels super scary, not good at all. 

We'll keep you posted.
