Miss Hoppy's Health - New picture

[Karen]

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

Loving thoughts and fervent prayers that Miss Hoppy will continue to be around and feisty for a long time yet.

I'll be saying a prayer that they'll be able to do something to make your Miss Hoppy more comfortable.
(((HUGS))) to you and Paul

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.

[Karen]

She sent me an email about a procedure developed a while ago, but as it was for brain tumors, and this is a chest tumor, it didn't really apply. But it was a nice thought, and we appreciated the effort.

How is HRH (Her Royal Hoppiness) today?

[Karen]

A little sneezy, but currently hiding somewhere for a nap! I hear a wee sneeze, but don't know where it's coming from!

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

Miss.Hoppy will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Catty1]

Good luck tomorrow, Karen!
