it has been a tough couple of days.

sadly we said good bye to trick who lost her battle with advanced mammary cancer. it looked like the cancer had invaded her lungs and suddenly she was having real difficulty in breathing. i was working but luckily erin was able to take her in and be with her when she passed away.

rest in peace trick and keep an eye out for treat, he misses you already.

raven somehow damaged the tendon in his hind leg during the night. we are wondering if he was seizuring again in his stall and injured it then. the vet came out to see him, said the leg is not broken, just really sore. he is on pain meds and icing for now and we will see how he does.

zoey appears to have either a bladder or uterine infection so she is now on injectable antibiotics for the next week.

castle is at the vets overnight. it occurred to me last evening when i finally had a chance to really look at him that he could possibly be in as bad of shape as he is from diabetes..he has all of the major symptoms. hopefully there hasn't been too much long term damage if i am right..but given his current condition, i bet there is.

toro just had her second cartrophen injection plus she has been on antibiotics for just over a week. if she doesn't quit passing blood in her urine in the next couple of days, i am afraid we might be looking at bladder cancer. we will give her til the end of the week to see improvement and if there is none, get her booked for an ultrasound.

looks like sammy's diabetes is finally getting under control..we have been slowly increasing his insulin but now i think we can stop, let him stabilize and then recheck his glucose curve.

So sad to hear about Trick. She was such a sweet bunny and we'll miss her gentle presence. Run free in sunny meadows, little one. Poor Treat will be grieving for sure, they were inseparable.
