[Gpdd] CARE: Ovarian cysts

[DFHAKES at aol.com]

I just took Penny to the vet today for a Depo-Lupron shot to shrink ovarian  
cysts.  $136 - not cheap, but she's over 5 years old and I too don't want  to 
risk surgery.
 
Alopecia (baldness) on either flank is an indicator of ovarian cysts but  
Penny still has all of her hair!  I noticed her being a big too aggressive  with 
her housemates and the doctor confirmed cysts upon examination.  She  could 
feel them.
 
The behavior doesn't subside immediately after the shot - it might take a  
day or two.  But Penny seems glad to be home and a bit calmer.

"It doesn't matter what the  kids say. Rabbits are not disposable like a box 
of cereal or a Disney video.  They WILL get tired of the rabbits and go on to 
the next toy. YOU will have to  deal with the consequences. Unfortunately, 
most people deal with the situation  by DUMPING their rabbits on someone else. 
Ultimately, it is the bunny that pays  for your inability to say NO."
