Last week, I noticed my rabbit, Tokki, wasn't drinking any water. After 2 days, I started to really worry. The next day I took him to the vet, who said Tokki needed an ultrasound and an x-ray. It was Friday, so I had to go to work. My vet text messaged me that the rabbit needed surgery immediately as he had found some kidney stones - one quite large. Well, this vet is just the guy at Home Plus, not a rabbit specialist by any means, so I headed to Naver to find a better one. Saturday morning, I had to skip my Korean class to make my way to a new animal hospital, rabbit-in-box in hand.
3 hours, 565,000 won, and a couple cries later I knew my rabbit was overall pretty healthy and actually had only one stone, but was scheduled for a major surgery with anesthesia.
Luckily, he made it through with flying colours and even scratched the doctors up a bit, feisty little guy! He's meant to stay at the hospital one more day, so I'll bring him home tomorrow morning. I went in to visit him today and found he's in a really nice, quiet, private room like rich people get at the hospital. Good thing, because after all, I am paying 40,000 won per day for them to take care of him.
This all happened at the same time that the MK guys are working on getting me a new house (mine's all moldy - eew.) and my applications were due for a new university job. Some luck.
