Lara- The Little Bunny With a Big Heart

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
As some of you have commented that you love Lara I thought I'd post a special thread about her.

Lara came from Animal Lifeline. I adopted her as a friend for another little Orange Rex called Huckle-Bunny Finn. Sadly Finn developed a Thymoma ( Cancer) at just 2 years of age and we lost him :cry: But Lara was such a comfort to him during his final days.
Here is Lara propping up Finn as he struggled to get enough oxygen :cry:

He was PTS a few hours later :cry:

Next Lara was bonded with a recently bereaved Becks. Becks lost his Brother David to congenital heart disease, he was only 18 months old :cry:

Tragically Becks also fell victim to congenital heart disease and we lost him. He was 2.5 years old :cry:

Next came Old Bill. He was found by the Police when they were searching a local property after a 'death at home'. Old Bill was handed over to ARC and I became his 'permanent Fostermum'

Old Bill adored Lara. He had probably never had any company from another Bunny before

We lost Old Bill last year :cry: :cry:

I really, really wanted Lara not to have to go through any more bereavement. So I adopted a young Bun, Dermot, from Animal Lifeline. But tragedy has struck again and Dermot has developed a terminal illness ( Pyloric Stenosis)
Yet again little Lara is having to comfort and support her Bunny friend

Lara is absolutely stunningly gorgeous.

What a wonderful partner she is to her bunny hubbies.

Nose rubs to her and Dermot, they look so good together.

Still sending lots of vibes for Dermot.

What a wonderful bunny Lara is :love::love:

Such a loving personality, and what a wonderful story she has so far..........xx
 
What a truly amazing rabbit Lara is.God bless her.
How long is Dermot expected to live?Can he not be cured?

No, he cant be cured :cry: Basically the opening which should allow his stomach to empty into his small intestines is very thickened. This means that he gets repeated episodes of bloat/stasis. So far he has got through repeated 'episodes' with medical treatment. But eventually the drugs wont work :cry::cry:
In human (babies) Pyloric Stenosis is treated surgically. But any similar surgery in Buns is unlikely to be successful and is certainly not something I would subject one of my Buns to.
I will have to let Dermot go when he no longer responds to his meds :cry:
But I dont know when that will be
