Okay, desperate blogging times come for desperate blogs. That is what today's post will be. I guess I'm resorting to being that crazy rabbit lady.... So our cute little lop rabbit Remy has serious problems. After Christmas vacation I had Remy on my lap and noticed some white spots/swirls in his eye. I gave it a couple of weeks and then called the vet to see if it was something I needed to come in for. The vet said I needed to bring him in for this, and she looked at him and then told me she had to look something up and she'd be right back. Half an hour later she came back with Remy's diagnosis. Eceneculi? Apparently it is a parasite that Remy has. So they put him on a round of medication as well as eye drops. Well six weeks later, the parasite is still here, and so our vet called an exotic pets specialist up in Portland, (which she called without asking us first, and which we were billed for. Yes that made me mad. ) only to find that this parasite will probably never go away. What does this mean for poor Remy and his sad owners? Medication, off and on for the rest of his life and close monitoring of him and his eye condition. I guess this will eventually cause seizures, convulsions, tremors, comas and death, or on a positive note, just losing an eye. So that was our happy news. However, Remy took the news rather well and seems his usual self.
Now let me switch gears and tell all of you how much I love, love daylight savings time! I have been so excited to leave work at the end of the day and still have it be light outside! It is so great, and also a lot less scary for me when I leave work since there are a lot of crazies that hang around where I work. So one day last week while we had beautiful weather I took advantage of both the nice weather and the long day and took Remy out on his leash after work and let him run around the yard. He was so excited to run, explore, dig and do his crazy hops, and I was so happy that the weather was nice enough that I could go outside for a little while.

Remy really seems to be taking the news well! I am sorry Marjean, you are a trooper...as well as Crazy Rabbit Lady Marjean ;)
poor remy. that stinks. i hope it gets better
I love that little vest/leash. He looks like Peter Cottontail. :) Sorry to hear he's sick. Its a different kind of sadness when a pet gets sick, but its still sad!
It still makes me sad about Remy, poor guy. I like daylight savings time in the evening, but it is so hard to get out of bed when it's so dark outside. I'm still adjusting to that. Mom and Dad just told me about your wallet getting stolen. I am so sorry! That just stinks! I hope you can get all that stuff taken care of without too much hasle. I feel so bad for you. Hope you can still have a great time!
