Isaac’s Story
I know it’s been a bit since I wrote…. everything is fine here and I hope it is with all of you. May was just been a very busy month in the hospital – so busy that I am now scheduling July patients, because it leaked into June. But Isaac’s story has been sitting in my head, waiting to be told since he went home earlier this month, so here it is, a bit of happiness to share with all of you. 🙂
Isaac’s person first wrote back in December. She had been referred to the hospital by a previous patient:
My bunny, Isaac, has been with me for as long as I can remember. I would love to get him fixed up to pass on to my daughter.
Lots of my patients come in when they are getting ready to go to another generation. I usually suggest a spa, to get them spruced up, and any wound repair that is required. Here are Isaac’s diagnostic photos:
As you can see, he was in pretty good shape. Fluffing up his fur, supplemental stuffing, and then repairing the bald spot on his tail and recovering his pawpads would have him spruced up and ready for a new generation of hugs.
He waited a bit to come to the hospital, arriving in mid-May. He came with special fabric to be used for his heart, and another fabric specifically for his pawpads. We would find fur to recover his tail in the hospital’s resources. Here’s Isaac in his bubble bath:
Looking a little less matted already! And here’s his heart being made and installed using the purple fabric his person sent:
Next up was choosing fur for his cotton tail, and I had just the right one to be a close color match and nice and fluffy (if you look closely, you can see his heart peaking out at the bottom of his spine there):
Surgery proceeded with the recovered tail, and recovered pawpads. His person had sent a lovely navy faux suede for his paws, and soon Isaac was ready to go home!
Isaac flew home to Alabama and arrived safely at the beginning of this month. His person wrote:
The first hug when I took him out of the box was just the greatest thing ever. Thank you so very much!
