Mama Doe
Contact/organisation details: I am fostering for Furry Friends in Old Coulsdon. Please PM me on here or call Emma on 020 8407 1080 or 0797 356 9371. We recommend calling us as we can't always check our emails daily.
Does the animal have rescue back up?: Yes for his whole life.
Location: Caterham/Old Coulsdon SURREY
Number of animals:1
Sex: Male
Age(s): 2 years old.
Name(s): Chance
Neutered: Yes
Reason for rehoming:
Chance came in when the owners were moving to a flat and he couldn't go with them. They begged us to take him as the move was very soon. They then informed us that Chance has dental problems and that his teeth were growing into his tongue. We asked them to bring Chance in immediately and so they did. When they dropped him off they informed me he had not eaten all day and so I booked him in for an emergency appointment with our local vet.
As it turns out his teeth were not too bad. He had a spur removed and they were burred down. Our vet says that with proper diet his teeth should be fine, however there is a possibility he may need dentals in the future so new owners must be aware of this. Our vets said he should not need them regularly if at all, so he will need to be monitored.
Chance was a skeleton when he arrived, but thankfully he loves his grub so put on weight quickly.
Will the group be split: Chance would like to live with a speyed female. If you do not have a speyed female but would like to offer him a home, please ask as we have lots of rabbits in. We can also assist with bonding and offer advice if needed.
Transport available: Within reason, unless you know of people coming this way that are happy to transport for you. We have various volunteers who do runs so please ask.
Other: Chance lived in appauling conditions before coming to us and we honestly didn't think he would make it.
First of all, I will show you how he lived...
This is the water bottle the previous owners proudly handed to me. Thick with algae and its even growing on the spout. Poor little mite didn't have the right to clean water....
I should have taken a photo of his hutch, it was thick in a few layers of faeces and urine. This is where he spend 2 years living, in a 4ft hutch that is too small for him to stand up in. The hair on the back of his ears is gone and I wonder if this is due to them constantly rubbing on the roof of the hutch.
Now say hello to Chance....
He is molting, but thats no excuse...
You can see the state his belly is in. That is thick poo and wee. The smell was repulsive.
Thats a few years worth of poo and wee matted in that coat...
He is such a good boy. I think he was enjoying all the attention!
Can't see too well on the photo, but there are sores on his hind legs.
This foot was thick in mess
BUT.....
This is him now!
Ok he still has some molting to do...but give him time
Cheeky boy. He is very friendly and cuddly <3
Chance has been wormed an vaccinated
