Dinstinctive bunny found

Awww! Hope he finds his home.:love::love:

"Vet's think that he was born without ears or they were surgically removed"...

Why would they surgically remove his ears?

Isn't it more likely that his mummy overgroomed him? :?
 
he may have had something like gangrene that they would have to operate for?
I suppose they are covering all possibilities.
I hope he finds his home soon.-sue:wave:

gangrene....niiiiiice! :shock: I didn't know bunnies could get gangrene in their ears!!
 
Aaw, he looks lovely. I hope his family find him, I bet he's well missed.:love:
Re. his ears, it doesn't look like he has any ear stubs at all, and I thought rabbits earless from overgrooming usually did... I'm sure the vets have examined him and are just going by what it looks like. He looks like a giant guinea piggy in the second picture ^_^

Not always. I know one with no stumps. I think it depends how much overgrooming the mum does. :)
 
well i don't know if they can either! but gangrene is something that can happen to tissue after injury in certain circumstances in humans so I'm guessing the same might happen to a rabbit?
I am thinking as gangrene is a type of necrosis(decaying) of tissue and my bun Chelsea's nose went black after myxi....and i was thinking if bun had been in a road accident or something?......

I hope someone with vet experience can tell us...?

Marie Kubiak on here?

what reasons would a bunny need ears amputated :(-if ever? -sue

It'd probably need a special reason. Ears are very important for temperature control, and I'm sure they do something to stop infection :? so it'd be interesting to know what would cause amputation. :)
 
more likely its the media adding that bit without thinking- I think most likely over grooming by mum too.-sue

a lovely bunny though. I really hope he gets back home or finds a new loving home if the former is not possible.:)
 
This is scaary I am actually ON THE SAME ROAD as where this bun was found!!! I work here in Acocks Green near station road :shock::shock::shock:

Don't recognise him or know who he belongs to though :cry:
