tired

I started a community a few weeks ago for people whose rabbits are suspected to have or have been diagnosed with pasteurella or "snuffles". I hoped that we could share experiences and information, and to a large extent that is happening.

But as the moderator, it's tough on me to keep reading people's stories about their sick bunnies. They are scared and stressed and having money problems, and are SO determined to see that their buns get the best care possible. It breaks my heart.

It's nice to be needed and I know I've helped some people, but it's awfully draining sometimes and I need a hug right now. I dread the day when I have to read about the first death we have.

Wow; that's got to be hard. You more than deserve a hug or two for being there that way. *hugs*

The idea started because I had to come up with a way to get Pepper to use a nebulizer for medication. As I didn't think she'd be willing to wear a mask, I built a box-chamber for her, and wrote about my plans on a couple of the groups.

That same day two people with ill buns posted questions to the same group and I thought "Somebody ought to get all these people and this info in the same place". And because this is the way I think, "somebody" turns out to be "me". :)
