I went into a branch of a large chain of Petshops this morning.
I immediately noticed a sick Bun a little Dutch. She was sort of squating as she could not lie down due to a bloated belly Her eyes were all squinted and she was very wobbly
The member of staff I alerted 'took her out the back'. I asked what would happen now and would she be seen by a Vet. I was told probably not til tomorrow :evil::evil: as 'there may not be anything wrong with her'.......:roll:
I tried to *politely* express my concerns re how rapidly a Bun can deteriorate and was told that they would 'wait and see'. Now as we all know Rabbits seldom show obvious signs of pain/illness until they are *very* sick. This poor wee Bun was so obviously very ill
I then asked about those Carrot Tree toy thingies. I explained about how once a Bun chews off the reed binding there is lots of glue. I asked if the glue was guaranteed to be non-toxic. I was told they had 'no idea' and could certainly not guarantee that the glue was safe !! :shock::shock:
So I said ' You are therefore selling a product which *might* harm an animal.
I was just told that they could not guarantee it wouldn't
madness :evil::evil:
