Pet traumas...

I'm about to take Diggers to the vets... he's looking at me like I have two heads at the moment, mostly out of the corner of his eye while he's sitting with his back to me!

He smells a bit. I thought he just had really bad farts but not so. He has poo stuck to his nuts!!

Bearing in mind that he's three feet long and weighs a stone he's not best pleased when I attempt to pick him up. He's never liked it and he's strong so generally kicks me to bits when I try so I gave up trying. So attempting to clean said poo off his nuts has been a no brainer.

The comedy value of chasing a HUGE bunny round the room trying to wipe his bum has been pretty priceless the last couple of days but without success. I decided today that I was gonna give him a bath tonight to try that way... although I've spent the day chickening out of that cause I have visions of me ending up wetter than he does and no doubt I'll end up covered in poo.

So I called the vet and asked their advice. I didn't go into too much detail and just said that he had poo stuck to him. She told me to bring him up and they'll clip it off. It's at this point that I had to say that it was stick to his nuts. I just couldn't say testicles out loud in the office. I'm a grown up and being ridiculous cause when I lowered my voice and said "it's actually stuck to his nuts" I sounded like a delinquent teenager trying not to giggle.

So now I'm about to spend the next 20 minutes actually trying to get him in the pet carrier and up to the vets. Wish me luck and tell me that I'm not the only one to have this sort of pet trauma?! Some of you must have funny stories that is gonna make me feel better cause I'm gonna have a proper sulky bunny in about 40 minutes time!!

Good luck!

My Hound has somehow acquired an infection of her cornea and is having to have eye drops 6 times a day - much fun had by all....

I have to say, I was panicking that she was going blind before we went to the vet.

The things we go through for our pets!

Poor Digger. If it helps any, I recently had to administer 2 sets of eyedrops, 3 times a day to a 43kilo rottweiler who HATES anything anywhere near her eyes..... at one point, there was myself- armed with eyedrops, my friend- holding the lead, both of us sitting on top of the dog whilst she frantically backpedalled against us- as I have laminate flooring, I can only imagine how ridiculous the 3 of us looked skiting around the living room!

Fuck me that was a trauma.

Clever clogs here should have got changed out of work clothes before I went cause I'm now sporting a very fluffy overcoat.

Bless... his nuts were in a right mess... he's to go on a diet... last time he was on a diet he ate my carpet in dispute.

He now has clean nuts, shorter claws and is currently sat in the corner with a very wet arse in disgust. I got him home, let him out of the box and for the first time ever he pissed on my carpet.

And here was me thinking pets were less trouble than kids!!

Yeah- I know that one- I went home for xmas and when I returned with the dogs, the cat was furious ( she thought she'd got rid of em) so she delibarately went and pee'd in their toybox

Only difference with pets is you can leave em alone in the house when you go to the pub

My dog likes bunnies- if she catches em, she just brings back the ears!

My neighbours house- bun is living on borrowed time!

He got out last week, having chewed through his daytime accomodation, and was found by his owner tracking his paw prints in the snow, get this he was trying to bonk the little black cat from down the road!

And they ran off together when she tried to catch him! Fortunately she got him in the end but now the black cat sits outside his hutch all day- think it must be love lol

I know!

Apparently the bun has started having tantrums if she doesn't let him run round the garden! And kicks her really hard!

I suggested he might need a little bit more than a shave round the nuts to curb his agression!

Yeah... I think I need to go down that route too... but his lardy arse needs to be lighter before I put him through an anaesthetic. Apparently it does calm them down a bit though... here's hoping!

It does work- my rescue dog was completely psychotic when I got him- he's calmed down a LOT since his bits got wheeched off- not entirely, but at least I don't NEED to muzzle him anymore

Mine was unfortunately aggressive... he's not now

And yes- carrots are not that good- cabbage is better

So i take it from this thread that if a single male of a species gets aggressive or hyper we should cut his nots off and he will calm down?

We are nursing a chicken that has had a stoke, it has been brought in from the run, put in a cat box, with corn and feed and sunflower seeds and water, it can't stand up without tipping forward, but seems quite happy to be spoilt rotten, gets better treated than me

Get well soon, Digger!

Things we do for our beloved pets!

The latest for mine is that, he does not like chewing on the big kibbles that help to keep his teeth clean.

Even tried to starve him in the hope he would eat them when he is hungry.

The stubborn little dog would rather go hungry, or pick out the scrap cat biscuits between the gravels!

In the end his poor mum worries about him not eating enough, and starts to cut up the kibbles into 4 smaller chunks.

I have a 10kg bag's worth of kibbles to cut up!

I thought I am very stubborn, however, I have met my match!

No matter how many times I smack his little nose for woofing at other dogs, he still does it!

oouuucccchhhhh! LMAO.

I'm just about to go to bed with this thought in my hhead. FFS.

My ex had a bunny and i adored him. But for some reason he hated me! I was the only person he ever bit. Even if i didnt know he was running around he'd suddenly nibble my ankles. On the flip side she also had a chinchilla (correcgt spelling?) and i was the only person she would come to when she had to go back in cage and she would not eat nibbles from hand unless was from my hand. Before she met me she was fine eating nibbles from anyone. Strange! When she died I shed a tear. Tut tut.

Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby.

Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand.

As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.

Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.

Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus jab. Throw Tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

Ring fire brigade to retrieve cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat.

Take last pill from foil-wrap.

Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.

Arrange for SPCA to collect cat and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

That's really tough. Will be two years in July since we had to make that choice for our little dog. It was heartbreaking and not a day goes by even now that I don't think about him.

I think you have to judge whether they're in pain and what quality of life they have. It was a really hard decision to make but he was 16 and he'd had a good life. It was time. Heartbreaking but the right thing.
