Bunny's journey

16.11.11 – Well our little scamp has worked out how to get out of her jumper as we discovered when she proudly hopped out of her cage with it in her mouth!

She dropped it at her daddy’s feet and sat waiting for him to put it back on – she even waggled her head through the head hole – think she has discovered a new party trick!!

Bunny is loving her new feeding platform and taps side of bowl with her remaining front leg when she thinks she is due some food. Humphh this is slightly more often than we feel she is due! She may be playing the sympathy card, little scamp.

Have received the most amazing response to my first post – cannot thank you all enough for the peace of mind and feeling of support we have had and my heart goes out to you all with beloved family members suffering cancer x

My beautiful puppy Bunny is 19 weeks old and she is a gorgeous little Beagle. Fun loving and mischievous. On Sunday 6th November she decided to adventure onto the dining table and realising that Mummy and Daddy may not think this such a good idea she jumped off it!

She landed on her front leg and crushed her shoulder and leg so badly that we were given the choice of amputation, loads of exploratory treatment that may not work as it was such a severe fracture or to put her to sleep. As we stupidly and irresponsibly hadn’t finished filling out the insurance paperwork we couldn’t afford the few thousand the vet mentioned for the exploratory surgery but thee was no way we could lose our little girl.

Bunny had to have her right front leg amputated and she has been the bravest little pup in the world. I think we have taken it harder than she has. She has been up and down since the operation and goes from giddy little kipper to worn out and sleepy. We just taking each day as it comes and trying to make the adjustment for her as easy as possible. The best thing we have bought so far is a raised food and water bowl platform so she doesn’t have to bend much when having her food.

Am writing this and it sounds all matter of fact but have tears rolling down my face looking at my beautiful little pup laid on her bed with her swollen stitches. Am worrying about all the things she won’t do so easily, all for a silly leap and no insurance.

We are determined she will have the best life ever and will help through it all cos we love her so very much.
