Miss Hoppy's Health - New picture

[dukedogsmom]

Could we request Miss Hoppy pics? You know we'd love to see some.

I'll see if I can dig up some you haven't seen.

She'd rather I not take any right now, because she was on eye drops for a couple weeks, and hated them, so some of the liquid would always get onto the fur beneath her eyes, and was aparrently sticky. The fur in those spots is growing back, from her cleaning that nasty awful stuff off so vigorously, but she's not her prettiest at the moment. One doesn't realize how much of her is fur, until a little patch of it is gone! Remind me in a couple weeks, okay?

Not that she's ever a willing photographer's model!

Thinking of you and Miss Hoppy! I hope you have many more happy years with her!

[Logan]

Hug and kiss her for us, please. I'm glad she doesn't face a major surgery. She needs to live out her life, just like she always has, Karen, with love and dignity. And lots of Parsley and Carrots, for sure!!!!!!

Love and prayers.

Poor little bun bun. Give her gentle pets and hug for us.

I will - she now has an appointment at Tufts Veterinary on Saturday. The other vet she sometimes sees at our vet's office called, and sometimes they can do radiation on a thymoma to shrink it so the pressue is less on the heart, and so the bunny can breathe better. We'll see, Saturday, what it involves, how uncomfortable it is, and if they even would reccomend it for a ten-year-old little bunny.

The intern at Tufts started a "chart" to make the appointment. Name, age - those we got down. Breed - well, "Maybe a Netherland Dwarf/Rex mix? We don't really know, but she's bigger than a ND, and has bigger ears, but smaller than a Rex, and has smaller ears than they do ..."

I think her breed could be Heinz 57? I hope all goes well, and that some of it can be shrunk.

I sent you an email...don't know if there is any point taking it to Tufts?

Miss Hoppy is an original, one of a kind, Pet Talk mascot, loved by people from all corners of the earth!

There are Dr's and nurses in many, many hospitals that have seen Get Well cards signed by Karen, Paul and Miss Hoppy. The nurses at Washington Hosp Center asked who Miss Hoppy is and I explained that she was The Mayors bunny. I received some very strange looks I must say

Uh, wouldn't you do everything possible for your loved furry ones?

Keeping Miss Hoppy in my prayers.

I could be wrong but I read the it in Catty1's post as being the e-mail she sent Karen not Miss Hoppy.

Good luck, Miss Hoppy -- Our fingers and paws are crossed for you. Karen, could you please give Miss Hoppy a pat for me?

[Zippy]

Miss.Hoppy will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Catty1]

Good luck tomorrow, Karen!
