Piper's losing more fur.
I quit using the cream the vet gave me... something just doesn't feel right in using it. (Not only that, I think it burns him. He tries to lick it off and if the slightest bit ends up on his tongue, he goes bezerk.) I tried to medicate and then put an E-collar on him (Sophie had to wear it after her spay), but that went over like a brick.

The vet mentioned I could use a cortizone cream on him, I think I'm going to try that until I can get him to a different vet (this wk is finals for me, there's absolutely no way I can get anywhere before Saturday). I'm also going to order some herbal hot-spot & skin calming remedies.

Piper eats and plays and cuddles -- he's apparently fine except that he's going bald!? (I can hear the "hare tonic" jokes coming on... lol)


On a positive note, I have (sorta) found a new bunny vet. A cousin linked me to the vet who treated (and saved!) his ferret for cancer. I hate starting from scratch but think it's best.



As for the other vets... not a word from them.
I had planned on writing a letter of complaint and getting it in today's post, but that didn't happen. I'll probably let it go until after finals.
