Experts Advise, Offer New Vaccination for Pet Rabbits

COVID-19 hasn’t been the only global pandemic arriving on our shores recently. A new variant of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), previously common in wild rabbits in Europe, Asia, and Australia, was first detected in the United States in early 2020. It has now spread to multiple states in the U.S., particularly the western states.

How to Get the Vaccine

Vaccination clinics for RHDV will be held on the following dates at Veterinary Medicine South Clinic 2100 S Goodwin Ave, Urbana. Clinic Dates: * August 18, 2023 * September 15, 2023 * October 13, 2023

Call for an appointment: 217-244-2555

On July 13, 2023, the first case of RHDV was detected in the state of Illinois in a pet rabbit. The case was in Cook County. Prior to this detection, the disease had not been diagnosed in wild or domestic rabbits. This detection raises the level of concern for the health implications of both wild and domestic rabbits within Illinois.

If RHDV is detected or suspected in wild or domestic rabbits, it must be reported to the World Organisation for Animal Health.

Dr. Michelle Borsdorf, a board-certified specialist in zoological medicine at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana, recommends that all pet rabbits be vaccinated against this new variant (RHDV2), which is more dangerous than earlier forms of the virus. This variant of RHDV has 70% to 100% mortality rates in pet rabbits.

Its presence in Illinois emphasizes the need to act now to vaccinate and protect against this disease!

What Is RHDV?

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus is a member of the calicivirus family. Other viruses in this family that do not cause rabbit health issues include norovirus, the most common cause of gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhea) in people, and a feline virus that causes respiratory disease.

RHDV infects wild and domestic species of rabbits and is highly contagious. It does not infect people or other animals. The virus travels through the blood stream of an infected rabbit and rapidly damages the cells of the liver. The liver makes proteins used in forming blood clots, and the classic form of RHDV causes uncontrollable bleeding in rabbits.

Clinical signs of rabbits infected with this virus will primarily include bleeding from the eyes, nose, or mouth, as well as jaundice (yellow discoloration of eyes and skin), which are related to severe liver dysfunction or failure. Affected rabbits may also develop respiratory or neurologic symptoms, or even present with more generalized signs of illness such as lethargy, reduced appetite, and lack of defecation or urination.

“Additionally, some rabbits do not exhibit symptoms prior to succumbing to the disease. This outcome, known as sudden death, illustrates how rapidly the disease can progress,” says Dr. Borsdorf.

How Does RHDV Spread?

Unfortunately, the virus survives well in any environment. Infected wild rabbits may shed the virus outside, and the virus can then be carried into the home on people’s clothing or shoes and introduced to pet rabbits. Any rabbit exposed to blood, urine, or feces of an infected rabbit could develop infection.  

Because RHDV is spread between rabbits, Dr. Borsdorf advises taking steps in your home to reduce the risk of RHDV infection.

Do not allow your pet rabbit to graze in outdoor areas that are frequented by wild rabbits.

Ensure that shoes worn outside are not worn in areas of the home where your pet rabbit has access.

Weeds and flowers from outdoor areas frequented by wild rabbits should not be fed to pet rabbits.

Always wash your hands before and after handling rabbits.

Vaccinate your pet rabbit.

Vaccination Against RHDV

In other countries where RHDV circulates, vaccinations against the virus are given to pet rabbits. Now that the threat to rabbit health is present in the U.S., the U.S. Department of Agriculture has authorized emergency use of the vaccine here. Distribution of the vaccine to veterinarians began in 2021.

Although the vaccine does not yet have full FDA approval, the approval process is ongoing. Preliminary research suggests that the vaccine is safe and effective in preventing infection. This is based on a challenge study performed where 100% of vaccinated rabbits survived when exposed to the virus, while 70% of the unvaccinated rabbits died from the disease.

Side effects of the vaccine have included mild swelling at the injection site and mild fever or lethargy for a few days after the vaccine is administered. To be effective, the vaccine requires two doses administered at least 3 weeks apart, and annual boosters thereafter.

Vaccination at the University of Illinois

The zoological medicine service will continue hosting vaccine clinics to administer vaccines and their boosters to pet rabbits once monthly. (See sidebar above for the current list of dates.) Veterinary interns, residents, and students as well as certified veterinary technicians will be involved in this process under supervision of faculty members. including Dr. Borsdorf, head of the zoological medicine service.

Because the clinic is focused on delivering vaccine to healthy animals, no diagnostic testing will be performed at that time.

Because of how the vaccine is packaged, vaccination will be offered only through the scheduled vaccine clinics and not through regular appointments with the zoological medicine service at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

To make an appointment for your rabbit to receive the vaccine, please call the Veterinary Medicine South Clinic at (217) 244-2555.

RP Log: Cravs bets that Bertram can’t outrun a chocobo.

Cravendy Hound - Cravs hadn’t remembered to exchange contact information with Windy, which made treating the fellow to drinks hard to follow up on. But she was a daily sight at Gridania’s local bars, and she figured that eventually, the two of them would cross paths again. Already moderately inebriated, the sea wolf leans back on her stool and rests her feet against the table. Balancing precariously on one chair leg, she brings a bottle up to her lips and takes a hearty chug.

Bertram Windshadow was -- for better or worse -- a pretty frequent haunt of the various small villages and outposts in the Shroud. He enjoyed being out in the depths of the forest and was generally only inclined to return when he was in need of something to drink or eat. That or sleep. On this particular occasion he'd been out doing some foraging before deciding to take a break in his efforts to prize a small flower away from a slumbering morbol.

Bertram Windshadow made his way into the Druthers with his attention upon a satchel of fresh herb cuttings before looking up to see a familiar face. He blinks. "Cravs?"

Cravendy Hound struggles to focus on whoever has just said her name. She squints through a drunken fog, eventually making out blonde hair. A man...probably. And an eyepatch? Maybe Windshadow - or was it Windshade? Cravs shifts back forward and braces her elbows against her knees as she slovenly waves the guest over to sit at the table.

Cravendy Hound: “Over ‘ere, afore the seat gets old...I mean, cold.” She hiccups, and looks especially pleased.

Bertram Windshadow lifts his brow slightly as he resecures the satchel to his side and makes his way over to the offered seat. Had she been expecting him? How on Hydaelyn did she know that he was going to be here? Regardless, he shook off the thought and made his way over to join the woman that was not quite a stranger. "A pleasant surprise, huh?" He says with a quiet laugh while he gets seated, "What brings you out here?"

Cravendy Hound: “Brings me out ‘ere? I’m ‘ere whenever I can find the time,” she admits, speech slightly slurred. She slides the open bottle that she had been drinking out of earlier over to Bertram. “Ye can find me wherever there’s good drink to be ‘ad.”

Cravendy Hound smells freshly cut greens, and glances over to her companion’s pouch of herbs. She purses her lips together and makes a couple of circles with her hand, loose at the wrist. “Wh...Whassat for. Pickin’ flowers for someone? Heh heh...”

Bertram Windshadow: "That's a busy schedule ..." He muses quietly with a gently amused expression on his face. He certainly seemed tickled by the thought. He pauses a moment -- in the midst of pouring himself a *very* reserved drink -- to glance at the satchel of cuttings and then back to Cravendy. "Something like that." He laughs softly, "Some herbs for a friend. They helped me out with some of the bites that I got from your buzzing friends the other day."

Cravendy Hound: “That’s kind of them...kind of ye too, to ‘elp out with those bugs in the first place.” Cravs gives him a wide grin, followed by a few friendly pats on his shoulder. “I jus raid the medicine cabinets in the clinic after stuff like this, but yer not part of a mercenary company, are ye? Ye can always ask me to, er, -borrow- some supplies for ye.”

Bertram Windshadow takes the pats upon his shoulder steadily. It seems like he's not all so unused to the strong sort of camaraderie. He lets out another quiet laugh as he takes a small sip of his only partially full cup. It was *exactly* drinking hours for him yet but ... he didn't want to appear ungrateful. "Well that's real kind of *you* to offer, Cravs." He bobs his head to the side, "And, no, I'm not. I'm a bit of a ... uh ... freelancer, I guess? My friend does mercenary work though."

Cravendy Hound raises a brow. “Oh, they’re a mercenary too? Maybe I know ‘em...what’re they like?”

Cravendy Hound hears a ‘kweh’ coming from the stables in front of the bar, and suddenly remembers Windy’s claim that he can outrun a chocobo. She quickly gets up and nearly loses her balance. Thankfully, her hands find the side of the drinking table, and she’s able to stabilize herself. “Wait, save that thought. Heheh, remember what ye said last time? ‘Eres a clue - it involves big, yellow horsebos.”

Bertram Windshadow: "Oh, they're an old fr--" His answer is cut off short by Cravendy's sudden notice of the nearby chocobos. Bertram is almost ready to catch her as she wobbles but she's able to steady herself. He blinks before following her attention in the direction of the chocobo with a quiet laugh. "Oh ... I suppose I did make a somewhat bold claim, didn't I?"

Cravendy Hound ‘s grin only continues to widen. “Let’s make a bet. I’ll ride a chocobo to Camp Tranquil’s aetheryte, and ye’ll go on foot. Whoever gets there first wins the pool. Letss see...” With one free hand, she digs into her pockets and finds them woefully empty. Damnit, she had already emptied them on an earlier wager. “Bugger me, ‘aven’t got a gil on me at the moment. ‘Ow about an aye-owe-ye...half of what ye earn on yer next job?”

Bertram Windshadow glances between Cravendy and the chocobos several times before laughing quietly and rubbing the back of his neck. "Well ... alright. I can't see the harm in that." He pauses, focusing his attention upon Cravendy now."Though, I have to be honest ... I don't exactly make a lot of gil regularly."

Cravendy Hound: “Pwah, it’s fine. That’s the beauty of a debt...ye don’t ‘ave to pay right away,” Cravs answers, as she then stumbles over to the chocobo stables. As she heads out, the alehouse proprietor calmly adds a few lines to the bottom onto her tab and closes her out for the night. Though not one to pay right away, Cravs would eventually return to chip away at what she owed. An unspoken agreement between the owner and the customer.

Cravendy Hound saddles a chocobo and loosely holds onto its reins.

Bertram Windshadow watches at Cravendy hurries out from the establishment, a look of quiet shock upon his face before glancing over to the owner. He gives a somewhat apologetic smile before getting up and following the roegadyn outside. He steps up just as Cravendy is getting settled upon her 'bo, looking up with a thoughtful expression. "That's a good looking 'bo you've got there."

Cravendy Hound - The chocobo, dressed in an adorable yellow raincoat, kwehs nervously at Bertram while Cravs leans forward to hug its neck. “Hrngh...it. Came this way. Nnnyway, ye need to stretch or somethin’, Windy? Don’t want ye pullin’ a muscle, shit ‘urts.”

Bertram Windshadow bobs his head from side to side with a light smile, "I'm all good here, I think. I've gotten all warmed up from runnin' around foraging today. I shouldn't be in too much risk of hurting myself." He steps over and gives the 'bo a gentle pat on the wing before looking over in the direction of the Camp Tranquil. "All the way to Camp Tranquil then?" He looks up to Cravendy for confirmation.

Cravendy Hound - The chocobo abruptly jumps and ruffles its feathers upon being pet, and Cravs is thrown back into the saddle. With a pained expression, she rubs at the small of her back, kneading circles with her knuckle. “Camp Tranquil, aye. Alright, well, on the count of three! One...two...”

(Cravendy Hound) should we actually race >:D tho chocobo is too fast, I'd need some kind of handicap )) (Bertram Windshadow) (( Hahaha! That could be fun! Though I'm not sure what handicap would work. Hrmm ..." (Cravendy Hound) we can use the timer thing xD )) (Cravendy Hound) hmmm )) (Cravendy Hound) I could just run further, and take the bridge up to Camp Tranquil from the Lower Paths )) (Bertram Windshadow) (( Oooh! A head start? )) (Cravendy Hound) head start also works!! )) (Cravendy Hound) bert magic headstart xD )) (Bertram Windshadow) (( I'm good with whatever! I'll follow your lead! )) (Bertram Windshadow) (( He's quick! And magic! )) (Cravendy Hound) ahaha )) (Cravendy Hound) lets do me running further, that way we can start together :D )) (Bertram Windshadow) (( Sounds good! Where's the finish line for me!? )) (Cravendy Hound) camp tranquil aetheryte! finish for both of us :D )) (Cravendy Hound) I'm just taking a longer path )) (Bertram Windshadow) Got it!! )) (Cravendy Hound) you take whatever path you want xD )) (Cravendy Hound) alright gonna start a timer........ ))

Bertram Windshadow begins to focus and his silhouette seems to blur. Like he's difficult to look at.

(Cravendy Hound) xD )) (Cravendy Hound) that was fun! )) (Bertram Windshadow) (( Hahaha! Very fun! ))

Bertram Windshadow comes to a skidding stop just before the large aetheryte crystal! As he does so an errant breeze seems to follow in behind him. Once he's to a complete stop he glances around to see what the results were!

Cravendy Hound - And on the count of three, they’re off! Cravs screams, and holds onto dear life as her steed sprints forward. The scream slowly gets quieter as the chocobo and rider disappear into the forest. When Bertram arrives, he would see Crav’s bird arrive just seconds before. But it arrives...alone. Kweh! :3

Bertram Windshadow: "........................."

(Cravendy Hound) same, bert. same................... ))

Bertram Windshadow blinks several times, "Cravs?" He glances around, searching for the bird's rider, raising his voice slightly, "Cravs?!"

Cravendy Hound - There’s no immediate response. Meanwhile, the chocobo hustles over to Bertram and stares at his blond locks. After a cautious pause, it then cranes its neck and begins to nibble at his hair. If it looks like hay...

Cravendy Hound - Having fallen off early, Cravs is on the ground halfway to Camp Tranquil. She drags herself out of a bush, dazed and confused.

Bertram Windshadow makes absolutely zero effort to stop the chocobo. In fact he seems to continue on like nothing weird -- like hay hair -- was happening at all. "Craaaaavs?!" He calls out, starting to wander his way to the edge of the platform. Hopefully his hair was at least good tasting.

(Cravendy Hound) im losing it aahhahah >:D )) (Bertram Windshadow) (( Hahahaha. I lost it at his hair looking like hay. I can't unsee it now. ))

Cravendy Hound - The chocobo spits out Bertram’s hair, deciding, no! It may look like hay, but it tastes nothing but. It chooses to follow him around as he goes over to the camp’s balcony. By now, Cravs has slowly made her way to where the bridges that lead up to Camp Tranquil begin. She just barely hears him call out to her and, as a speck in the distance, waves back. Muffled and nearly inaudible, she yells: “I’M OKAY.”

Bertram Windshadow tilts his head to the side, straining to hear Cravendy's distant reply. There was a moment of relief in his gut as he turns to look at the chocobo, patting them gently upon the neck. "She's okay." He offers quietly to the chocobo that abandoned Cravs in the first place. "Come on, let's go meet her." He then makes his way down the platforms toward Cravendy.

Cravendy Hound leans forward against the bridge’s post, looking exhausted. Drunk + bumpy ride + falling off = a whole ton of regret. She didn’t even get a good look at Bertram running! He just sort of became a blur - but was that the alcohol affecting her vision, or reality? No matter. Cravs pushes off of the wood post and tries to stand by herself, but can’t quite find her balance. For now, she kneels down on one knee as the world spins around her. “Blergh...”

Cravendy Hound: “...did ye get there first?”

Bertram Windshadow steps up close, leaning over Cravendy for a moment to make sure that she's okay before reaching out and offering a hand to the woman so that he could help her to her feet. "Not quite, no." He laughs softly, shaking his head. "Your 'bo beat me by a few seconds. They're a speedy one, you're quite lucky!" He looks over to the chocobo with a smile. "I also think they're hungry."

Cravendy Hound takes his hand and pulls herself up. She grunts in thanks. “Rather have a ‘bo that can keep me on its back...Ow!” The chocobo pecks right at the top-center of Crav’s head, as if it were following the conversation somehow. She rubs her head and gives it a dirty look.

Cravendy Hound: “Ye know, technically speakin’...the chocobo got first, ye got second, and I got disqualified. ‘Ow are we gonna resolve that? Bird gets the winnin’s?” She notes, chuckling.

Bertram Windshadow laughs softly as the chocobo injects with its indignant peck upon Cravendy's head. He bobs his head from side to side as he considers the situation. "Sounds to me like I owe the 'bo a nice meal."

Cravendy Hound lets out an amused snort. “Hah! Aye, aye...To the winner, goes the spoils.” She shakes her head in disbelief as her chocobo chirps happily. Two special meals, oh! Happy days!

Bertram Windshadow grins slightly and dips his head forward, glancing over to the chocobo as it makes the joyful chirp. "Well ... shall we then? We can get you all brushed off too ..." He glances over Cravendy before laughing quietly.

Bertram Windshadow grins slightly and dips his head forward, glancing over to the chocobo as it makes the joyful chirp. "Well ... shall we then? We can get you all brushed off too ..." He glances over Cravendy before laughing quietly.

Cravendy Hound feels her expression hardening to her usual frown, but after a second, it falls away to laughter. “One trip to the chocobo stalls, to give ‘im a meal...and give myself a brushin’. Let’s.” She turns to walk back up the path to Buscarron’s Druthers - the start and end to a reckless but fun evening.

You're a Good Boy, Charlie Brown

The key purpose of a Tumblr blog here is really a brain dump: logging thoughts, feelings, narrative and such is easier in long form than via a brief Facebook post that generates half a dozen "oh no, what happened" comments. As I'm writing this, most of it seems like bullet points and organized timelines. If you're looking for a TL;DR or current state of thoughts, it's the last section titled The Day After, and the Day After That.

A few days ago, Niko and I said goodbye to our first dog, Charlie Brown.

I'm not keen to chat about it a lot. There's more to process than I have time to type; most of it centers around being fair to myself and to Niko, taking the time to appreciate his life without beating ourselves up, and avoiding the overwhelming mire that grief can become.

Joining the Family

CB was a rescue, a hapless victim of the 2016 Louisiana floods and a happy-go-lucky participant in a "dog for a day" event hosted by a local shelter. I fully expected to rent him out for a day, give him a few great experiences, and return him. For myriad reasons, we never did bring him back to Pet Rescue by Judy, and he's been with us ever since.

At adoption, he was estimated to be around 4-8 years old. With a kicked-in shoulder that offset his collarbone and ribcage, some assorted dental issues, and other little signs of damage (cigarette burns, what the heck is wrong with people), it was tough to really gauge his age. That means he left this world at the ripe old age of something like 9-13, which isn't terrible considering all he'd been through.

Charlie Brown was the iconic good boy. He seldom barked, he never licked or jumped, and just wanted to be in the same room as his favorite people. He had a few toys that he cherished, never ripping them up, just carrying them with him from room to room and whining a bit, unsure of where he could store them for safekeeping. Apart from some separation anxiety issues and an occasional urge to bolt out the door and book it as far as he could, CB was by all accounts an easy first dog: more like a low-effort cat than anything else.

Slowly Falling Apart

Over time, the health issues increased. Intermittent but predictably regular upset tummy. Bad gums, bad teeth. Random gooey skin lesion. Eye ulcers. Since October, we've been averaging 2-3 unplanned vet visits a month — many incurring some hefty bills. We'd take out another credit card, find another financing plan, but it adds up. So does the emotional toil on the family; so does the anxiety toll on the dog.

You start to think about quality of life for the dog, you know? He'd had a few teeth removed to sew up his gums after they kinda detached and fell apart from his jawbone — so he couldn't chew anything hard. Couldn't even chew a tennis ball, which was the only toy he took interest in anymore. Couldn't have any fun treats like peanut butter or other soft chews, as his tummy would have bad flare-ups that usually ended up with him attached to an IV bag. After finally settling in and learning to play well with Atlas, Charlie Brown started to get pretty irritable whenever Atlas got frisky.

He still loved running around outdoors, and was in otherwise great health.

I can't tell you how guilty that makes me feel, even now.

Moving to Waltham

Before we left Orlando, there were so many crisis moments in emergency vet offices where Niko and I talked about how long he could ride this roller coaster. CB obviously was not a fan of vet visits: loved the staff, but was notably anxious and panicky when separated from us, and he had grown very loathe to the process of poking, prodding, and whatnot.

Shortly after moving to Waltham (he was a champ in the U-Haul), Charlie Brown had a severe colitis flare-up. He was losing so much fluid and was growing very lethargic over the day. Vets are hard to get into these days: with the sweep of "pandemic puppy" adoptions, the vet industry as a whole is saturated with demand, and practices are responding as best they can. There were just no emergency clinics available to us within 20 miles, except one that noted "we have no availability, but you can come and wait, and we might be able to see you in 4 or 5 hours." So we did.

It was a very late night. Charlie Brown came home with us with another round of the same antibiotics he'd been taking almost regularly since December for his assorted ailments, and some probiotics. The next day, CB seemed a bit better and brighter, and Niko and I went into the city for part of the day. We came home to find he'd had an accident, but it was just... blood. So so much. And he looked so in pain, so ashamed, so guilty, so anxious.

So we went back to the vet ER. It was another very late night. I didn't know how many of these late nights we could afford; neither of us knew how many of these late nights it was fair to expect Charlie Brown to endure.

Do you plan on letting a pet go after an extended crisis visit? Do you plan on letting a pet go in a time of relative peace?

Camping Analogy, and a Best Last Day

When you're off on a long hike, and you see daylight start to fade as the sun begins to set, you begin to think about finding a good place to set up camp for the night. It's abysmal to do this after the sun has already gone down: where you could have had preparation and structure, you have chaos by flashlight.

A dog's life is in your hands. You're his whole world: all food, adventure, pampering, challenge, treatment, and care come from you. More than anything, we wanted Charlie Brown to have a peaceful, restful life. Now that we started thinking about it, we wanted to be able to give him a peaceful, restful passing as well: not as the climax of another overnight crisis with injections and yelps and beeps and cowering and anxiety and fear, but in the still quiet of familiar sounds and smells.

His very last day was a great one. Fresh Pond in Cambridge: a massive stroll around a colossal lake with an absurd bounty of new smells, kind people, happy dogs, and a brisk New England breeze. He got to swim in a little side pond — that boy lived for jumping into random lakes. He ran around the broad field that is Kingsley Bowl, chasing a thrown ball the very very farthest his sad pop could throw it — and he brought it back. We bought him a steak. We told him how much he brought to our lives.

And then we waited.

Lap of Love is a sort of home delivery service of dignified passing for pets. There's more to say on that hour than I care to pen, but throughout the procedure, we never left him. Charlie Brown passed enveloped in our arms and laps and sobs and hugs.

The Day After, and the Day After That

The rest is just thoughts. Your head starts to feel like a coffee shop where your grief comes in, sits at a table with you, and unloads. You nod, listen, and wish them well. I hope I can keep processing this way — I find it helpful, and less overwhelming.

I wish he had been able to play with his tennis ball more. Since his jaw surgery — even out on Kingsley Bowl, nearly a month and a half after he should have been fully healed — any kind of chewing would cause renewed bleeding and pain.

I wish we had hugged him more. But truth be told, he didn't like hugs. They made him uncomfortable. So we gave him a hand to lay his head on, or a knee for him to pop his head upon, as often as he liked.

There were so many times I felt inconvenienced by owning a dog at all. They weren't the majority, but... now each remembered time feels like a splinter of selfishness.

I miss how familiar the back of his neck felt under my hand, just behind the ears, where the waves of fur meet and crash and make a long cowlick of foof and fluff.

His happy smile and his stressed smile were very similar, but you could still tell which was which.

I loved being there for him in thunderstorms.

When you think about it, we sort of were hospice care for him. We weren't his original owners; we just wanted the rest of his life to be painless and fulfilling. He had so many trust issues when he first came to us. And in the end, he loved anyone he met.

I miss feeling around with my feet to make sure I don't step on him on my way to bed. I miss setting my feet on the floor as I wake, stooping down, and giving his head a good squishy rub.

He never did get to see Boston snow. I mean... thousands of dogs never get to see snow. But I was really looking forward to sharing that experience with him.

I wanted so badly to bring him to a point of health, and then say goodbye when he was feeling well. Seeing him have his Best Last Day, part of me whispered "murderer" with cold accuracy, and I have a hard time shaking it. He was so happy — but between jaw bleeding after playing with a tennis ball, seeing him scratch his eyes that were starting to ache with ulcers again... I know the unbridled happiness came with the reality of his declining health.

Atlas was the best thing that ever happened to that boy. I know Charlie Brown was at least a little disgruntled that his easy-going day-to-day had been interrupted by a chompy puppy, but Atlas brought out the young pup in CB: ripping palm fronds to shreds, playing tug, playing tag, meeting new dogs with confidence and assurance.

I used to get so mad at my mother-in-law for feeding Charlie Brown cinnamon donuts. I wish I'd given him more. Heck, I wish I'd given him more peanut butter. I'm frankly surprised he hadn't died of peanut butter overdose years ago.

Where Charlie's health had limits, we kept going with Atlas. That might mean taking Atlas out to play with a ball or a tug toy, because CB couldn't. It breaks my heart now to think of Charlie at the glass door just watching it happen, all because he physically couldn't play the same. I know he didn't understand that.

We took him out to Park Ave maybe once or twice. I wish it had been more. Truth be told, it was the same as the dog park, though: he was kind of a loner. Loads of people or dogs made him anxious. So while I might idealize the past and wish he had sat at our legs for lunch after lunch at an outdoor thoroughfare, ... I think he would have been miserable. I think he would have rather just curled up at the base of the couch and dozed while we watched a show.

He was so trusting. I could just drag him onto his back and onto my lap for cuddles and a good tummy rub. No complaints.

He looked so gaunt these past few months. I keep looking at earlier photos, and I really didn't realize just how grizzly and drawn he had become lately.

I miss seeing him randomly waiting for me outside the bathroom door — or curled up on the bath mat while I was in the shower, having sneakily nosed the door open and wanting my company while I was rinsing.

For his first few years with us, he was incredibly playful. I've been going through old videos — it's like going outside just blew his mind, and toys were either for cherishing daintily, or thrashing about and throwing to oneself and gnawing. He lost that after a time. He regained it a bit when Atlas joined the party. But it still faded. I'm sure that's inevitable, but it makes me sad to see the early vibrant puppy in those old recordings, and how different he had been in recent months.

Boyfriend Gifts

Relationships are a juggling act of emotion and expectation. Then there are the annual events where you may or may not need to give a present – Valentine’s Day, birthday, and Christmas Day. When you’ve been in a relationship for a while, you get to know your boyfriend’s likes and interests. At the beginning of your relationship, buying a Christmas gift for a new boyfriend can feel like a massive challenge. The big question is, how much to spend on these annual occasions for a boyfriend?

  The amount you spend will depend on all the usual factors of your age, career relationship duration, and what you can afford. It helps to have a strategy towards gift buying, particularly for men, so that you do not end up settling for an overpriced gift that neither of you is happy to give or receive. A gift is a proxy for the depth of your feelings and showcases how well you know the other person.

  Setting a Boyfriend Gift Budget

It sounds a bit cold and clinical, reducing the depth of your love for this wonderful person in your life to an amount of money in a budget. But budgeting takes the stress out of the gift buying process and lets you concentrate on finding the perfect gift inside the parameters you set in advance. These three occasions cover most gift buying needs over a year. If you plan, you can spot suitable presents ahead of Valentine’s Day, his birthday, or Christmas and get him an ideal gift with less stress.

  Setting an appropriate budget for each occasion prevents the embarrassment of giving a wildly inappropriate excessive gift. Because spending too much can be as offensive as spending too little. It is about meeting expectations – there is a sweet spot where the present is right and vast areas where you either offend or worry the recipient.

  There is no rigid rule about how much you need to spend on a gift, and the average spend is affected by extreme highs and lows. Your age and circumstances will determine your budget as well as how long you’ve been dating.

  How Much to Spend for Valentine’s Day?

  Valentine’s Day is for love and romance. It is all hearts and flowers and quality time together as a couple. Sentimental messages and meaningful love tokens are welcome and appropriate. Despite the annual hype, only half of all men (56%) and women (54%) celebrate Valentine’s Day. The average amount spent by women on Valentine’s day gifts is $106, according to the National Retail Federation. That figure includes spending on pets because a significant number of women prefer their dog to the man in their life. sentimental gifts for boyfriend

Valentine’s Day is the event that you will spend the least amount as your boyfriend is likely to take the opportunity to show you how much he cares about you. There is a reason why most Valentine’s Day gift sets target men buying for women. That first Valentine’s Day before you have got to know him well settle for a token gift and a modest amount, say $50 max. As the years go past, you will get a feel for the right level for your relationship with your boyfriend.

Practical, consumable gifts like tea gift boxes or a personalized tea mug that you can fill with heart-shaped chocolates are a lighthearted and modestly priced Valentine’s Day gift for a new boyfriend.

How Much to Spend on a Boyfriend’s Birthday?

  Birthdays are personal to your boyfriend. It is his big day, and he takes center stage. There is no hiding place with a birthday gift because it is all about him and how well you know his personality and interests.

  Looking for an average spend on birthday gifts is problematic, because unlike Christmas or Valentine’s Day, it is not straightforward working out what items people are buying as birthday gifts. As a result, you come across various algebraic calculations to guide you to an appropriate amount. Try and work out the value of the depths of your feelings. Calculate his spend on an average date. Then take the relationship duration into account. Well, putting all those factors into an equation is sure to take the romance away.

  The birthday gift for your boyfriend is the one it makes sense to spend the most amount of money on, within reasonable limits. A starting point is $50, and then add $25 a year for a straight gift budget. You are probably going to throw in a meal, or an event, so you might want to budget around the $200 for the whole day. Possibly more, possibly less.

  How Much to Spend on Your Boyfriend at Christmas?

  Christmas is a gift-giving extravaganza where everyone gets into the gift-buying game. A Christmas gift for a boyfriend is one amongst many. There is less anxiety about Christmas gift because the sheer volume of presents received makes one gift, even from you, less likely to be remarkable. Of course, at Christmas, you exchange gifts, and there is the question of equality – did you value each other equally?

  Have you been dating for less than a year? Then around $50 is the average spend rising to $100 after the first year.

  How Long Have You Been Dating?

The length of your relationship will affect the amount you are willing to spend on a gift for any occasion. But every relationship progresses at a different pace, and it is the depth of the relationship that guides the amount you are willing to spend on a present.

New Boyfriend – Under 3 Months

The relationship is new and exciting. You may be all in, but you are short on details about his life, and he does not know you and your personality yet.

The word here is restraint, keep your gift-giving modest to around $25 as a maximum. At this stage, you are acknowledging the occasion, but cautiously. An excellent strategy is to go for a modestly priced item with personalization. For Valentine’s Day or a birthday instead of agonizing over the gift, offer to take him out for an experience you can both enjoy like bowling, a concert, or a trip out. At this stage, spending time together is more beneficial than trying to guess his taste in gifts.

Practical, consumable gifts like tea gift boxes or a personalized tea mug that you can fill with heart-shaped chocolates are a lighthearted and modestly priced Valentine’s Day gift for a new boyfriend.

When it comes to birthdays and Christmas, something like a personalized tea tumbler is practical and stylish and is useful for commuting to and from work.

There is Always a First Time

In your first year together, there is going to be a Valentine’s Day, a Christmas, and a birthday. After three months, the relationship may be settling down and heading towards a more durable place in your life.

You may feel tempted to buy an expensive present because in your mind he is your soul mate and you are going to spend the rest of your lives together. All those feel-good hormones rushing through your veins can make you feel a little giddy. Take a deep breath, and instead of rushing to spend a lot of money, concentrate your efforts on buying a meaningful or useful gift or both.

It’s not just the thought that counts, but the effort that went into selecting a gift that you think he will like. Steer clear of expensive electronics (most men will buy the gadgets they want) and buy something fun or personalized. Restrict yourself to a maximum budget of $100 for all occasions. But you can find appropriate, meaningful gifts for far less.

When choosing those first gifts, a tea theme works on many levels. Tea is a drink that most people enjoy and fits into their lives. A tea gift basket is flexible for any occasion as it contains useable products for your boyfriend, or he can use it to provide a choice of beverages for guests. A traveling tea set containing a teapot and teacups in a case is suitable for birthdays or Christmas. Combine the gift with an IOU’ a trip to watch the sunrise or set at a local beauty spot, and you can both enjoy using his present while building fun memories.

After the First Time Comes the Second Time

After you and your boyfriend have passed through that fragile first year, you have some experience with gift buying for him. Did he enjoy the first year’s gifts, or did he look somewhat bemused? If he is really in to you, he probably raved about the gift even if he hated it. This is an excellent sign for your budding romance, but you might want to consider different gifts this year.

When in doubt about the amount to spend, $100 covers most occasions, perhaps less on Valentine’s Day and more on his birthday. You’ve had a year with this guy, what are his hobbies and interests? What does he eat and drink, and how do you spend your time together? Answers to these questions will give you plenty of ideas for excellent gifts.

If your boyfriend is a tea enthusiast, then a selection of high-quality teas in individual canisters will be welcome. Most homes can find a place for art ceramics – a handmade and individually decorated tea mug will soon become his favorite drinking vessel. Does he like Asian cuisine? Try a gongfu tea set for serving green tea with style and treat him to a Chinese take away for his birthday. For the outdoor or sporting type, a glass tea infuser is practical and ecological.

Alternatively, instead of stressing about the perfect gift, you could help him get something he really wants with a gift card – 55% of Americans would prefer a gift card to an object, that number increases to 61% for the 35-44 age bracket. Too soon in the relationship for that? Maybe not, maybe it is time to have a conversation because Valentine’s Day, birthdays and Christmas are going to come round every year and if you ask him what he wants, perhaps he will ask you. Communication about what matters to you strengthens a relationship.

  Finally – You’ve Got This!

You’ve been buying gifts for others all your life. Buying your boyfriend, a gift for Valentine’s Day, birthday, or Christmas isn’t different from buying a gift for your father, brother, or best friend. You do the best you can with the funds available. Averages and statistics are an indication of what other people spend when surveyed. They don’t tell you what you should spend.

Trust your instincts and stay within your means when it comes to buying boyfriend gifts on the first occasion or a decade later. A gift is an expression of affection, not the total value of your feelings for the guy in your life.

Learning to manage veterinary clients

I had my new grad vet (who is not really a new grad any more, she is a big, tough, grown up vet but still likes to pretend there are training wheels on the bike) listen to me talking on the phone the other day. I had a particularly irate client, who in our view was irrational, who I had to handle on the phone. And while it ended reasonably, there are tricks and phrases I’ve picked up from watching other clinicians, and I urge vetlings to watch other vets and learn their techniques for dealing with irate clients.

Identify the Problem

The first thing to do when dealing with any upset or angry client is to identify the problem, and keep in mind people don’t always tell you up front what their issue actually is. Money, or anxiety over money, is a common concern. Others might be more worried about giving tablets, or where the pet can stay while they’re away, or any number of things. If you can identify the problem, and offer possible solutions, that might soothe the client’s worries and let you do your job.

Most people lashing out are not fundamental buttburgers. Mostly they are afraid of something. If you can soothe the fear, you’re doing well.

Another common fear is that you will ‘just put the old pet down because it’s old’ and assuring the owners that they have more options than that (treatments for arthritis, ways to improve quality of life, etc) goes a long way.

Give a little, and ask a little in return

Once you’re identified the main problem or their fears, you can try to do something about it.

For example, if their primary concern is money, you can go through different treatment options and their costs, and how you can space those costs out over time. Not everybody has a lot of cash at hand, but if you give people a budget and a time frame many can save up a couple of hundred dollars to do what needs doing. Just taking away the unknown factor can go a long way to settling a client.

You can also try to find reasonable ways to lower the costs, particularly for long term medications. Maybe it’s cheaper to sent a pre-anaesthetic blood screen to an external lab a day or two before the procedure, instead of doing it on the day. Maybe a 100mg tablet is less than double the cost of a 50mg tablet, so they can break it in half and save a little money every day, which adds up over the month.

You are helping them out, but you are asking for their cooperation to do so. They have to come in on two different days to save money on the blood screen, they have to actually cut the tablets themselves or phone a few days in advance for you to order their meds in. These are really tiny concessions you are asking of this client, but it makes them feel like they are saying yes, like you are now working as a team to address their concerns, and that’s important to actually help the pet.

Even the language you use can help here. “Just let me grab a calculator... just let me look that up.” By asking the clients for something, something they can easily say yes to, it fosters a feeling of teamwork.

Write complaints down

There is nothing quite like writing the complaint down to make people feel like they are being listened to, and it’s super helpful for addressing a complicated complaint to have it in some kind of list format. People who are upset will often get things out of order, and it helps to get things straight. If this is a fact-to-face conversation, try to take notes while facing the client, not turning your back on them to type on the computer.

Take advantage of free consultations

It is hugely useful to be able to offer somebody a free consultation with their pet. And lets be honest, if they’ve being particularly belligerent then they’re going to take up more than 20 minutes of your time on the phone or just talking anyway, you might as well spend ten minutes looking at the animal, it will actuallys ave you time and stress.

Many clinics will offer free post-surgical consults, or discounted revisits anyway, so knowing what you can offer within the clinic policy is a good way to placate some concerns, and let the client think they are getting something for free.

It’s also good in general to follow up your procedures and treatments to make sure they are actually getting better, so you have a record. Then clients can’t claim the pet ‘never got better’ months later if you have a record of them being better, or you can poignantly point out that they failed to come to their recheck, so this limits what you can interpret.

Take care though not to give too much for free. You might make the consult free, but that generally shouldn’t include medication or further treatment as required, unless you’re quite confident whatever is going on is iatrogenic, eg antihistamines for a vaccine allergy.

If you can’t get people in, let them take a photo of the issue and email it to the clinic (do not let them text your personal phone!). It’s better to get them in most of the time, as most people are more reasonable face to face, but some things can be resolved with just a picture. For example, a pet that had hair on their neck shaved for a blood draw and not a suddenly appearing rash with hairloss after starting the medication.

And if all else fails

There are some lovely catch phrases you can use if the client continues to be very unreasonable and you just don’t seem to be getting anywhere.

I am not the vet who treated your pet, I am just trying to get to the bottom of this. - Useful if it’s not you being complained about. Reminds the client that they can be angry, but please don’t be angry at you.

I cannot do anything else about how the prices are set, would you like me to get the practice owner to call you? - This is the equivalent of getting a manager, but it’s why they get paid more than you do. Refer it up, but give them good notes.

Behavior like this towards staff will not be tolerated. - A reminder to not yell or threaten.

If you feel that our services were not up to your standard, you are welcome to seek veterinary treatment elsewhere. - This is a very polite reminder to those clients that they are, in fact, most welcome to leave. You are not going to bend over any further to keep them as a client.

Of course it’s best for your sanity to focus on the good clients, not the bad ones, but you still have to deal with those bad clients from time to time. Listen to how other people do it, and copy the techniques you like.
