Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
Its actually good news, but at the same time I also find it really sad 
You may have seen pictures of Marion and Geoff when they arrived here after being rescued from a "rescue". I was asked to take them on as the owner of the "rescue" said Marion was incontinent due to kidney failure, the owner said to me themselves that Marion didn't have long left Marion was also being treated regularly with antibiotic injections, which should never be prescribed for rabbits, because of her incontinence :?
Since Marion's arrival there has been no evidence of Kidney problems although it was evident straight away she had major dental problems. Marion went in for her dental today so I asked for pre surgery bloods to be taken just out or curiosity. The good news is her kidneys are functioning normally But it makes me so sad to think that for 2 years an old bunny has been kept in such disgusting conditions that her owner thought she was dying of kidney failure, when all she needed was to be kept clean and dry
As far as the dental was concerned, my vet just rang me up to say she was amazed that Marion was able to eat at all. ALL of her molars were falling out and some had actually come out and were floating loose in her mouth :shock: She now has very few teeth left but we are hoping she will still be able to eat normally . Although her incisors are loose and deformed due to being cut with nail clippers she hasn't had them removed as they do still line up OK so we will just see how she gets on with them
Geoff will also need a dental in the future but his teeth aren't too bad just now. At the moment he is fighting a nasty eye infection and is needing his tear duct regularly flushed, because of this he hasn't been able to have his VHD
