Prayers for Sophie, please.

Sophie has a vet appt. on Tuesday afternoon (earliest I could get her in). Unfortunately this time it's more than just a routine manicure. Last night, I found a lump (about the size of a ping-pong ball) hiding behind her "armpit." She acts fine, eats good, and looks great but I'm still terrified, esp. since this is her first time to see the vet here (for something other than a manicure).

I have a copy of her old vet records, a copy of drugs that are ok for rabbits, and a biz. card from my old vet to take in. When it comes to dogs/cats I have complete trust in this vet (as he saved Clarice's life one time)--I just hope his "magic" extends to rabbits.

I hope & pray this lump is nothing serious.

It almost looks like a blue smile!

I hope your baby will get her share of this vet's magic. I'll be thinking of you and Sophie. Jake and Addie send puppy kisses.

You've got it, Tonya. Miz Sophie, we are saying prayers for you right now, hopeing that your lump will be just a lump and nothing significant. Bunny hugz to you, sweet Princess of Parseley!!! :D

oh Dear Tonya and Ms. Sophie Bunny,
delilah and i will say a prayer for you both...glad that the lump doesn't seem to hurt her so far...this is a good sign!!!!

you know you could call your old vet(the one whos' card that you have) and have his office fax a copy of Ms.Sophie Bunnies' records to new vet....
at least :
a) the vet will have all records in front of him,when he examines her
B) he may actually have time to familiarize himself (or his assistant) with the records,so he knows more on sophie bunny and won't waste time on other things
c) you won't get charged for them double touching things like vaccines,worming,etc. that might have been done 2 months ago...

Good Luck Dear Tonya,
Keep us updated...we'll be waiting to hear

Oh Tonya ... I am sorry to hear about Mizz. Sophie. I will be sure to remember that sweet bunny in my prayers.... just keep faith and remember that with God all things are possible.

O I will be praying for your dear sweet Sophie! Get better soon!

Oh poor Sophie, we will keep her in our thoughts, nothing bad CANNOT happen to our sweet Miz Sophie!

So sorry you're feeling lumpy Sophie! :(
Hope it's nothing serious,vet's can do so much for pets these days! You are a lucky bunny to have a mom who spotted your lump and is getting it checked!

Miz Sophie, we'll keep our fingers and paws crossed for you!

Yes I do hope that Sophie is ok, i know how you must be feeling. Do let us know how things go.

Tonya, we'll have our paws, fingers, and toes crossed that the lump is nothing to worry about and Miz Sophie Bunny will be just fine! Keep us updated on how things went with the new vet. {{{{Hugs}}}} Anna

I am so very sorry to hear about this problem and will keep you and Ms Sophie in my prayers!!! I hate it when I feel helpless so I understand.

Something to keep in mind, is that if the news is bad or you don't like what you hear, DO find another rabbit-specialist vet and get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion. While rabbit-specialist vets are rarer than hens teeth, I have found that they do not always agree on diagnosis and/or treatments.

Why? Some vets continue to stay on top of bunny health issues and go to bunny health conferences while others end their education at graduation. A consideration would be to take Sophie to a well-known vet school in your state.... for example here in Mich. Michigan State University has an excellent vet program and the instructors know all of the latest treatments and procedures. We have found it worth the time, money and effort.

I'm wondering if maybe Sophie has a abcess. They can sometimes be removed or drained and in other instances it's better to do nothing...depends on the site. We have several buns at the sanctuary that have been living with those things for years and they are otherwise healthy.

I do wish you the best of good luck. Casey sez "HEY!" to Ms. Sophie and sends her a nose twitch and her vey best thoughts. :)

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about this :( Hopefully it's nothing bad at all (there's many "good" lumps you know), I will keep you in my thoughts! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Hi God!

Cinder an Smokey here ~ Onna Prayer Line...

Sorrie to bother You agin;
But this Prayer is reel spechul -
Kuz it'z bout our Bestest Bunnie Bud - Miz Sophie!

Kud You puLeese - Purty PuLeeze - help her White Coat get rid of the lumppie she gotz?

Allua us Pet Talk FurKids an Hoomins are reel wurried - an we need Your Help ta get her fixed up quick as You kan.

An kud ya reech down wiffa GodsPawz an gib a Great Big Kuddel {{{Hugg}}} to her Mom - Miz Tonya? She's awful wurried bout Sophie; anna {{{Hugg}}} frum Heaven :) would be a big kumfort ta her.

We'll be keepin our pawz an klawz crossed till we hear frum You, God.

Thanks a Bunch, God!

Tonya, I can only imagine how very very worried you are about Sophie. I would be too!

My brother has an older German Shepherd. When I was at their home several months ago, I noticed these two lumps on his side. The next time I went to their home the lumps were now the size of golf balls. However "Jake" was acting just fine, eating, playing, all the usual stuff.

My brother took Jake in to the vet to have them removed and they turned out to be absolutely NOTHING! In the meantime, all of us thought the worst and worried ourselves sick.

I am going to pray real hard that this will be the outcome for Sophie too! The lump will be NOTHING!

Hugs from Gini and Rascal

Extra special prayers are on the way for Miz Sophie and you too, Tonya. The boys have their paws and tails all crossed for you too. Leonardo had a lump come up under one of his front armpits once. Scared me to death. His went away. Near as we (the vet) could figure, it was a reaction to the feline leukemia shot. The lump took quite a while to go away. It was so weird because his shot was on the back of his neck and the lump came up under his armpit. Maybe some extra parsley would make her feel a 'little' better until her visit with the white coats.
I love her blueberry smile in her picture, by the way.

Oh, I will keep you, and your sweet Miz Sophie, in my thoughts, and prayers!

Cinder n' Smokey, you two are just darling.

Sophie Bunz...you are truly much too special to have anything bad happen to you. Please be OK and please tell your mom to tell us when the *good* news comes back from the white coats. I'll be waiting to hear about the results, as will everyone, I am sure. That Sophie Bunz is one special, adorable girl. Take care Tonya, and try to remain positive. I know it's easier said then done, though. Sending good thoughts your way.

Sophie, we're praying that the lump is nothing bad. Killian has had a few lumps removed (one quite large) and they were all benign. We are praying that it will be the same for you. Killi and Shi have their paws crossed for their little bunny friend. I will say prayers.

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes! They mean alot to me.

I've been worryin' myself sick over it. Sophie acts absolutely fine which is a relief but is also kinda scary. Since bunnies are prey animals, they tend to hide their illnesses (any sign of weakness would be an instant death in the wild).

Yesterday, we went to do some show & tell/pet therapy in mom's preschool class (she has the kids who are delayed in learning: speech impediments, physical deformities, etc.) When that was over, Soph and I came home, said some prayers, and took a nap. When mom got home, she came in to check on us. She "accidentally" woke Sophie up & Sophie attacked her (nipped & headbutted Mom's ankles/pants legs). :rolleyes: ("Grammawz how darez youz interuppiez my beautious sleepz?!") So she *IS* feeling her normal spunky self.

The lumps remind me of the "fatty tumors/cysts" that my cockerspaniel had. I hope that is what they are.

I'm comtimplating the 5hr drive back to her old vet. I don't know that she could see us any earlier than what this vet could, though. Waiting is so hard...

Thank you again!

Oh no, not our little Sophie bunster girl...:( I know how worried you must be Tonya. But on a hopeful note, the majority of large, fast growing growths are benign fatty tumors of cysts. Me and all the furry ones here will be praying with all of our paw power that this dearest, most precious little one will get an encouraging report at the vets. We love you Sophie! And you too, of course Tonya. Love and hugs to our dear friends, Sandra and the Fur Family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Miz Sophie's condition. I sure hope that it's nothing serious and that the new vet knows how to treat rabbits. All fingers and paws are crossed here. I'll say a prayer for Sophie tonight.

Sopher Bunners! What are you doing? Are you trying to be like a squirel and hide your yummy blueberry treats for later? :)

I am sure it will be OK, especially since she's acting like normal. She is such a sweet bun!

Take care sweet thing, I'll be praying for you!

Oh I am so sorry to hear that! I hope she is ok. My prayers are with you and Sophie, always.

Gosh, Miz Sophie! We sure hope your ok. We send you prayers and get well wishes....We'd even send Parsley if we could! We love you Miz Sophie.... Hugs to you and your Mommy.:D

Awww, poor Sophie! :( Since she's acting normal, I'm sure she'll be alright! She's such a sweet bunny! Take care of yourself Sophine and tell your mommy not to worry too much! I'm sure you'll be just fine!

Oh no, Sophie, not you. The Princess can't be having no lumpy bumpies to mar the most perfect of bunny bodies. And now the Bestest Mommy has her heart just aching with worry. That won't do either. The Bunny and the Mommy have to get back to normal. They have so much work to do making other peoples happy. Pet Talkers unite with Prayer Power for one of our favorite furry friends, the most beautiful Sophie, to be Okie Dokie and for the dark cloud of worry to vanish over the Bestest Mommy's head.

Oh dear Miz Sophie !! Billie-the bunnie talking here !! Sorry to hear you have a lumpie ...! Please be brave and sweet , so that the white-coats can get it out easily !!! Give a huge bunch of nose-licks to your mommy and tell her not to be to nervous , okay !
I'm sure that if it's all over , you will get plenty of fresh parsley !!

btw , yesterday my mommy gave me some parsley for the first time because she had read about your liking parsley so much !
Know what ?? IT IS DELICIOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there pal !! Billie-the-bunny

oh , I know you can see my picture on my mommy's signature ; but here is another beautiful one (made by Niina !)

Miss Hoppy says to bite anyone you can at the white-coats, they're all evil, but I don't think you should listen to that advice, Sophie! I hope it's just one of those scary-looking butbenign fatty cysts, and we don't blame you for being cranky with Grandma - doesn't she know "let sleeping dogs and bunnies lie?" :)

Billie - congratulations on your first taste of parsley! Miss Hoppy loves loves loves her parsley, and sometimes at "raisin time" she's got parsley-breath! The envy of all, are those sweet breathed bunnies!

So Sorry to hear about poor Sophie!

The dogs,cats,bunnies,etc are praying for you!!

All paws crossed in hope that the lump is just that and nothing more!

Sophie, we are thinking about you, big time, at our house!!! And do you know what? We've been having to buy parsley too!!! We know you would like it here because we have parsley in our refrigerator, but guess who it is for??? The Caterpillars that are going to be Butterflies!!! Yes, we have 5 caterpillars that hatched from eggs, in an aquarium in our carport. We are raising butterflies!!! Our grandma brought them to us, so Helen could raise butterflies, but we had no idea that parsley was their food of choice!!

We hope you get lots of parsley tomorrow, after your visit to the white coats. After all, you are the Princess of Parsley!!! :D :D We hope that the white coats will relieve your mom and you, and that the lumpies are nothing to worry about.

Love,
Logan, Honey, Lilly, Mimi, Butter, Roger, Milly, Olivia and Helen

Miz Sophie, I hope you receive good news tomorrow and get plenty of parsley as a treat for being so good at the vets. Don't worry Tonya I'm sure everything will turn out okay. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and Sophie. Good luck.

Dear Miz Sophie,

The picture of you sleeping is pretty darn special.

I didn't know that I could be so crazy about a bunny that I have never met, but you sure won my heart in a minute.

We want you to know that everyone here at Pet Talk is worrying about you and your Momma too.

Thanks, Phred for the heads up on the appointment time. You can count on me stopping everything at your appointment time and sending the strongest prayers I can come up with - all for you and your Momma too.

We love you both, a whole bunch!

Gini and Rascal
