I'm sorry that I didn't see this thread until now.
I hope Miss Hoppy feels better soon and I hope that the ultrasound goes well on Tuesday.
Give her a hug and kiss from me if she will tolerate it.

I will pass along the hug and kiss after she comes in from the porch - she likes to spend a few hours on the porch on not-hot days, so is leery of being approached out there, because she wants to decide herself when she'll come in! And I have been known to be really mean, and go out and pick her up to make her come in when we need to go somewhere, so I am immediately suspect. So her personality is at least not affected by the tumor ...

No one told me. I'm sorry to learn Miss Hoppy isn't feeling well Please give her some gentle hugs from me. I know how much it hurts to see your much loved furry one get old. I hope it's nothing serious.

Karen & Paul, I am so sorry to hear our sweet bunny girl is ill. I am just seeing this as I have been having major internet problems for about 2 weeks or so. Net wouldn't stay connected for more than about 10 minutes at a time.

Long distance prayers and good thoughts coming from all of us in Italy. We are hoping for some sound results today from Miss Hoppy's ultrasound so a course of action can be decided. All fingers, toes, paws and whiskers crossed that she can beat this.

((((HUGS)))) to you both and a nose scritchie for Miss Hoppy (the kind she likes best).

Michelle, Vixen, Phoenix, Artica, Bella, Vega & Frost.

Wow ten years old. She is quite old. I will be praying for Miss Hoppy. She sounds like a little fighter.

[KitCat]

I hope Miss Hoppy feels better.

Prayers on the way from me and the cat kids today for PTs bunny!

We just got back from the vet's office. The ultrasound showed no heart disease, which is a good thing, but the thymoma was confirmed, which is not so good.

But as Miss Hoppy is ten years old, and the only current option is surgery, there's nothing medically to be done about the tumor. Dr. Hartman, (nice lady, she's been Miss Hoppy's vet for ten years!) who said, "Well, at her age, she's sorta past her expiration date anyway," said she wouldn't want to risk Miss Hoppy not even surviving the anesthesia. She will consult with other rabbit vets, and offered me the choice of having a consult with Angel Memorial or Tufts if we wanted to go ahead with the surgery. But the surgery is major, even if she survived the anesthesia, then they'd have to crack open her chest ...

The okay news is thymomas are not very active tumors, and it could stay the same size for years.

She said, "Because of her age, you might want to do nothing, but count every day your bunny is with you as a blessing anyway."

When I told her people were praying for Miss Hoppy all over the world, Dr. Hartman said "Awwwww!"

Thanks everyone for your prayers. Miss Hoppy is glad to be home, and is munching a treat in the kitchen.

I think it's good not to operate, because our furry friends don't understand what's going on and then they have fear and discomfort. All you can do at this point is enjoy each other's company as long as you can.
