Sooz, Mack and Juno.

Is there any news? I have been thinking about you all today.

Juno is home and well! She is hopping about but hasn't eaten yet. Mack is eating but looks very tired. Sooz should be on soon to update us. I asked her how things were looking for Mack, in a text and she said he had minimal bone removal and no mofre teeth. They just need his tests results back.

Hi

Sorry for late update, it's been a very long day.

Juno is doing really well, she is hopping about, pooing and drinking but not eaten yet that I have seen. I wil syringe feed her before bed if she isn't eating voluntarily by then as I instructed the VNs not to attempt to force feed her at the vets. Her spey scar is absolutely a beautiful piece of work....I will endevour to get a picture later because it is so tiny & tidy...no wonder she is doing so well.

Mack had to have a lot of infected tissue, impacted food and necrotic bone removed from the front of his jaw but it turns out the secondary abcess had not attached to a molar....which is good news but the vets just cannot find how they tracked back through the mandible (he had two new abcesses, walled off from each other but communicating). The furthest one was very deep, well into the tissue and he would have been able to feel it inside his mouth....infact left much longer that is where it would have errupted.

They are pretty confident that the infected tissue was removed and the mandible itself well debrided. That's not to say it wont recur though, sadly...but we need the C&S results to tell us more on that score.

The underside of his jaw is largely open with a very deep entry point which needs flushing with a catheter 3 times daily....it looks pretty awful, Phil was gagging when I showed him. I may get some pictures for you guys later from an educational point of view.

Thanks for asking. x

So glad that they are both fine after their long day. What a worry it must have been for you. A bit like when your kids need an operation.

I hope they both make a complete recovery. Healing vibes to them and sleeping vibes for you.

sending vibes to the bunnies - and you having to flush 3 times a day. yes, some photos would be interesting.

I'm having camera issues but working on it. I will find a way!

I hope Mack and Juno are feeling a little better this morning and you managed some sleep Sooz.

Poor Mack - bunny abcesses are vile. Do abcesses track in cats and dogs, or is just a bunny problem?

Loads of hugs and vibes to you all xxx
