Dr. R. said Pepper is "night and day" compared to the condition she was in
Saturday morning. I knew I had her back when the tech tried to clean a blob
of laxatone off her fur with a wet rag, and the bun took it for all of 4
seconds before whipping around and shooting into her carrier. -That's- the
bunny I know and love LOL! We have a follow-up appointment next week. They
gave me a sackful of medicine for Pepper - woe is the Pepper! - and told me
I am going to have to give her a daily injection for the next 5 days of
Ragalin (sp?). Not happy about this. They showed me how, and my little
crab bunny took it quite well, to my surprise - much better than Mama would
have! She also needs a ton of other meds for the next 7 days. As we speak,
I hear the "tic tic tic" of her water bottle, a noise that has been missing
from my world for over 4 days. She commenced eating her food and hay with
gusto as soon as I put her back in the hutch, which is now coated to an inch
of its life in fly screen. Tomorrow, the fly strips go up - the wood Dad
bought to create the fly strip scaffold is laid nearby.

I want to expound at length about how grateful my parents and I are to APR
for all of your support, but the emotional strain of the last 4 days has
just hit me, and as soon as she went into her hutch I felt the immediate
need to go to bed and pass out. So I am going to medicate her shortly and
then do exactly that. In the words of Louisa May Alcott, may "....your
bed(s) in heaven be 'aisy.'" There are good, wonderful people left in the
world, and this newsgroup community is the cream of the crop.

In abject gratitude,

Monica E. (and Pepper, who would like to take this moment to tell everyone
that flies suk)

That's wonderful Monica ... I LOVE happy endings. It sounds like she will be
much safer in her hutch now. Good girl Pepper.

Hooray for Pepper! I know how you feel about collapsing...when Rosie was
finally "over the hump" I did the exact same thing...for days!

I know you all are doing everything you can to keep Pepper safe...I'll bet
she's glad to be home, but probably wondering what all that stuff is outside
her cage!!!

Here's to a continued and successful recovery for Pepper.
