Hey all,

Now we know for sure what Whiskey has. She has a cancer tumor. Now we stand for the terrible choice:
Do we let the vet operate her and remove her uterus or do we let her go to sleep? the expectation is that she will fully recover, but due to her age (she's 7 now) she'll probably have a year, maybe two, left to live. Rabbits of her size usually get about 6 - 8. It's a hard decision. The operation will be stressful for her (as is any operation, just like with us) and {and yes, we do have to look at that aspect too} it will cost a considerable amount of money (somewhere between € 100,- and € 150,-) so it's not nothing.
On the other hand, right now she has a chance of a full recovery (the cancer hasn't spread to her lungs and that's a huge good thing!). And of course, suppose we'll put her to sleep, we still have her sister (Irish). And we already know Irish hated the fact that Whiskey wasn't there for a few days (when she was in quarantine inside our house and with the vet). So what will it do to her if we'll put Whiskey to sleep.

So, it's a tough decision we have to make. The vet will come some time this afternoon to talk a bit more about the options and everything that comes with it. And then James and I have to decide what to do this evening. It's not something I'm really looking forward to...........

Talk to you later.
