*bunny-mom senses activated*

We went off to the vet this morning. Not because of anything major or obvious but because there were a bunch of little things that could be vaguely worrisome, so I figured it's best to go.

She's only lately been accepting face-pets, but would never let me touch the right side of her face. Also, she eats her food eventually but hasn't been running to eat as quickly as usual.Turns out that she had some dental points - sticky-uppy things on her teeth that were poking her on the cheek. She has no history of them, but got them filed down and added them to the "things to check" when she goes in from now on.

Also, she has been sneezing on and off all winter, and lately her binkies have involved more head-shaking than before. Turns out that she's in the very early stages of throwing another ear infection. Not enough to need oral meds again but enough to need ear-rinses 1x/day and ear drops 2xday for the next few weeks.

Guess I'm getting good at this.

Sometimes "just not right" is a very good reason to take someone to the vet.

Good for you for figuring it out before it became a real problem!
