We thought we’d seen it all: sock-eating dogs, thread-swallowing cats, and many mysterious abscesses.
But at exactly 09:05 this morning, our team’s veterinary expertise was put to the test.
The doors opened, the smell wafted in, and then it appeared. The Easter Bunny.
At Hello Vet we treat dogs and cats, but under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeon’s code of conduct we must provide care to any animal in need of emergency treatment. Even if that animal is 70% cocoa solids.
Slightly melted, partially nibbled, and missing suspicious amounts of ear. The bunny dragged his chocolatey self through reception like a hero returning from battle.
Our nurses immediately sprang into action, rushing the casualty to the fridge for cooling therapy. Nurse Millie performed a triage and examination while bravely ignoring the heavenly smell slowly filling the building. The bunny was found to have two major injuries:
1. Traumatic ear injury (suspected toddler)
2. Severe heat explosion (suspected nap near radiator)
Prognosis: critical but delicious.
Leading the surgery was the unflappable Dr. Joe, performing what may well be the most high-stakes procedure of his career. The pressure? Immense. The temptation? Even greater. Not only did he have to save Easter, but he also had to fend off two chocoholic colleagues hovering a little too close to the surgical site.
After a tense operation, the surgery was declared a success. The Easter Bunny woke from his anaesthetic to Nurse Layla providing gentle snuggles and strict anti-snacking supervision. The entire clinic breathed a sigh of relief when he opened his slightly wonky chocolate eyes and asked if he was still on schedule.
The bunny has been discharged with strict instructions:
• No sunbathing.
• No radiators.
• Light hopping only.
• No sitting next to cats or dogs (we cannot emphasise this enough).
The Easter Bunny hopped out much happier than he hopped in. We a proud to announce that easter is back on track. 😉🐇🩷🥚
