Bernie is Home!
14 April 2021
Unfortunately, the only vet surgeon in Wellington (Massey) will not take Bernadette into surgery without a deposit for half the surgery costs upfront. Because the givealittle is not only a far reach from its end goal, but will not be released until late next month. This means we cannot get the surgery, at least not at this time.
But, on the bright side, after getting second opinions from the senior vet at Karori and a previous working surgeon looking at the x-rays we have, they say that with 4-6 weeks strict bed rest and check ups, she should heal well.
She still hasn't defecated, which is concerning, but she has a check up on Friday morning to replace her fentanyl patch so hopefully by then there has been progress.
She is on anti-inflammatories and laxatives twice a day with food, but she hasn't eaten much aside from gravy.
She is happy to be home with her furry dog sister Roo and brother bunny Jaime, as well as the flatmate family. I've put her cage in the living room so she can have pets and visits. I'll be working on the thank you art in the living room with her owed to anyone who has donated and wishes to receive in the post.
Feel free to email me at meah.mareah@gmail.com with your address if you would like one!
And again, thank you for caring for us, we appreciate it deeply. We will keep you updated on her progress as she heals ❤
