I'm Freaking Out! last modified: Sunday, May 18, 2008 (10:22:07 AM) I know this is my second blog in 3 weeks, and I’m not trying to over-blog, but I am freaking out.
My very sweet, nearly 11 year old Dwarf Rabbit, Chestnut, is having surgery on Thursday. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer 2 years ago, which has been very stable until recently. The doc’s and I initially decided to hold off on surgery due to the risks from his age and the fact that he has upper respiratory problems, but it seems now we have reached a point where we have to do the surgery, as the testicle is starting to change. Chestnut is on a lot of meds, most of which he likes (thankfully ^_~), and he is a very active, happy bunny. I am scared at the thought of using anesthesia on him. I believe the procedure itself is not that invasive, and relatively quick, although I know the doc will be taking extra precautions so it may take a bit longer. For the past month, I’ve been doing some research about surgery on older rabbits, and have heard some positive stories from the net, and successful stories about other rabbits the doc has performed surgery on, but I’m still super worried. Chestnut is my baby. ^_^
Any vets or pet owners out there with positive surgical stories on older rabbits or other animals? ^_~
I’m completely freaking out
