COMMISSION INFO:
[link]--------------------
In the life ...
For those that didn't already know, Alice went in for surgery today -- she had a severe malocclusion and needed at least her bottom incisors removed entirely. My friend Trish from Tanmpa took me (ooh, nice alliteration! XD), and the vet's office was a little over an hour from *my* house, which is already about an hour from her! What a blessing she was -- there was no way my parents could take me on the man's surgery days ...
Turns out Alice had more bad teeth than just the two -- she had 8 total removed. She may also need more, but the vet didn't want to use too much anaesthesia, so he concentrated on the ones he could tell right-out needed removal, Two teeth were abscessed, and two others were causing an ulcer in her mouth from jaggedness, poor dear. The vet said it wasn't our fault it happened -- dwarf rabbits, by breed, have jaws that are too small, so this affliction is common -- but this was the worst he'd ever seen.

He was very nice about it all and thoroughly explained everything. Alice will be going back on Saturday to check her progress and discuss doing x-rays (there wasn't time today, as it, too, requires her to be under anaesthesia to be done, and he felt it was more important to spend the time getting rid of the teeth he could tell right-off were bad). He recommends removing the top incisors as well -- would have just done it, even, but again, there wasn't time for them as well. The whole thing, medication and visit included, was only $374, so it could have been worse, ey? (Especially since dad gave me a bit of money as well!) The vet only charged me a dollar for the exam, rather than the usual fee. But that means I need to come up with another chunk of change to deal with the rest of her mouth (and this time there's x-rays to contend with. *sigh*) Well, at least I probably have a month or so to come up with it (and will probably need Trish to take me again since the rents have to work on surgery days, so I have to work that out *cough*...)
She's drinking water on her own, and I managed to get her medication down her and a fair amount of food. She's showing signs of being inquisitive -- she even tried to nibble on some stuff I pulled out of a file, in search of paperwork. Poor dear can only drool and dent now, not chew. XD She also pushed her head under dad's hand, demanding he pet her.

She's still a bit dazed, though, and her eyes are still dilated. He'd needed to give her valium, so we're hoping, as the vet hoped, that it's just that and mild stress, and not a more severe trauma.

So we need to watch her over the next few days, hoping that she goes to the litter pan and *goes* without any problems with the "end" results. The vet seemed most concerned with her digestive track, saying at this point, that's the biggest worry in rabbits post-surgery...
I'll keep you all appraised. Cross your fingers!

And thanks very much everyone for your well-wishing and especially those who gave assistance!
Ja mata ne!
