Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / June 2008Precious's surgery
Hi guys, Lady Precious is scheduled for surgery monday morning. I guess it's a combination of exploratory and trying to fix whatever it is. We've noticed in the last week that she's straining to pee and it's pretty strong smelling. It seems she's peeing on herself. Any recommendations about cleaning her bum? We don't want to stress her but it's a shame she has to go through this. We've also noticed she's not drinking that much. I have been making sure her greens etc are really wet (she loves them) so at least I know she's getting some fluids in. Should we be giving her some water through a syringe? We're wondering if the lump may be impacting on her bladder. I guess we will find out Monday. I hope the old girl does ok. It would be heartbreaking if something happens after rescuing her. Well, wish us luck and keep the prayers and vibes coming. Joe (for Debbie), Zoe, Tabitha, Tiffany, Precious and Bugsy Sounds like it could be a bladder stone. Cocoa had a large one removed six years ago. Prayers for the dear girl.  SignatureGod Bless, Arlette, Cocoa & Brownie in heaven (See us here) http://www.flickr.com/photos/11393346@N02/ Need a vet?

It's very important to keep her well hydrated but giving water in a syringe is rather stressful and risky. To clean her bum, you could soak a towel in warm water with a tiny bit of very soft babysoap, and place her bum on it. Then 'wash' her bum with the wet towel, making sure you only wet the parts that need to be washed, and not her entire belly. Again, not too much stress as she's having a hard time already. I really hope tomorrow will be a success and Precious will be fine soon. Take care!

Yes, I'd syringe water into her, and add some cranberry juice to the water - maybe some electrolytes as well just to make her feel better. I'll be thinking of you and her.
