Sred I LOVE the pic of your bunnies "sheer delighting" (lying on sides with heads down). I don't know what everyone else calls it but I saw the description in an old bunny book that I bought when I got my first bunny 15+ yrs ago and it just stuck!
ROFLMAO....yes, Raffie is a fuzzy fuzzy bunny
so cute! and i love his little white paws... my bunnies who are more light colored always get grass stains when they play outside for too long.. OH and when eating a carrot they get a little orange around the mouth.. which then means that they need to wash for the next 5+ minutes
I have been hinting to DF that I'd like another one, but he says no... I'm going to keep working on him...
I've done some research but I can't find anything on blocked tear ducts, apart from it could be infection/teeth problems etc.. nothing mentions permenant anything?!
Sorry this is so long!! x
Do any of you have experience with blocked tear ducts?
Basically, Honey's eye was running, so we took her to the vets a few weeks ago & they said it was because her teeth were growing funny & that they would need to operate on her teeth. So that gets done, they say she's fine to come home & give us meds & eye drops for her. Don't tell us anything else, just that her surgery was fine & to give her them. So we assumed everything was fine like they said & took her home.
Well it had been 2 weeks & her eye was still running & her eye drops had just ran out. So my mum took her to the vets today & the lady there said that after the op they'd flushed her tear ducts out & one was blocked. & it will be that way permenantly & we should be washing it out with salt water every evening. Does this sound right to you? I mean the vet nurse who discharged her gave us the impression that we give her these drops & everything will clear up, she said nothing about a permenantly blocked duct! Also, she never mentioned any more tooth surgery, but we were told today she will need it every 5-6 months, now that doesn't sound odd to me since I've heard of a few bunnies going back every 6 or so months to be sorted again.. but the tear duct thing? Can it really be permenant? I'm really annoyed they never told us, I mean we probably should of been salt water washing these past 2 weeks?!

Just thought I'd start a thread for us bag loving bunny lovers
I'll start: I'm Catherine, I have 4 bunnies and 1 that is sort of mine = 5.
My babies are Chester (black with white nose) and Sarafina (white with blue eyes). Sarafina was adopted after Chester's brother Frankie passed this October. Frankie is the "poster boy" for our local rabbit adoption shelter
I also have a sassy girl Lexi who lives with her Holland Lop boyfriend Raphael They all have mansions made of NIC cubes!! I can post pictures if anyone is interested.
My 5th "kind of mine" bunny is Bella. She is my boyfriends. He adopted her a few years ago initially as a Sweetest Day gift to me,but int he process of hiding her from me, fell in love with her himself. She's a Holland Lop too.
My babies that have gone to the Rainbow Bridge are Frankie, and Chocolate (a dwarf). I wear a beautiful heart with a hand engraving of their pictures.
Here are some of my babies pictures! (I take them to Spa Day at the local shelter every few months to get "glamour" pictures!)
Oh, PS- I'm from Chicago and I'm usually in the LV forum,but you can find me in the CL forum and Coach one too. My other favorites are this one, the beauty bar (anything to do with hair extensions!- is there a thread for that already....darn search feature), and jewelry.
Let me know if you want to see more of my other bunnies! Post your pictures and a little about you!!!!
