Last year, a lady brought in one of her rabbits to my work. She had been attacked by one of her hutch mates (the lady was keeping 3 un-neutered females together). This rabbit had a huge open wound on her back and the lady could not afford to get her treated. She signed her over to me and Paul and I got her treated, spayed and vaccinated and she is now living in a great home with a neutered male
She later rehomed one of the other females to her friend, leaving one on her own (I tried explaining that she should neuter them etc etc but it fell on deaf ears!)
This same lady phoned up the vets today saying her rabbit was lethargic and had a very mucky bum. The nurse told her we needed to see the rabbit today but the woman said she couldn't as she had to take her son to swimming!?! The nurse asked her to try and arrange someone to bring her in and call us back.
I answered her next call. She said she could not bring her in until tomorrow as she doesn't have a car and her mum would have to give her a lift. I asked her if she could get a taxi and she said she couldn't afford the £10 it would cost her! She agreed to get her friend to give her a lift and leave the bunny with us and she could collect her from us tomorrow.
When she arrived, she immediately asked me how much it would cost. I explained that it would really depend on what treatment the vet decided to give her but would probably be around £30-£50. She said she couldn't afford this and asked if I would take her. After a lengthy discussion with her, I agreed to take her on but only if she gave me a donation for her treatment, which she did.
This poor bunny is extremely overweight. In fact, she is the fattest rabbit I have ever held! Her top right incisor is missing and her bottom is very mucky. She seems to be eating ok which is a blessing but is petrified
She is staying at the vets tonight and we will be bringing her home tomorrow. She will be given a new name, put on a diet, spayed and vaccinated and will then be looking for a new home.
Will get pics as soon as she has settled.
Yet another misunderstood bunny
