Mama Doe
Seems like all bad things happen at once. Bad weekend and now this...Had these two terminals in for a while now.
This is Krispie Kreme. She came in with her 2 sisters in a 4ft hutch. The people said if we did not take them they would set them free in the woods.
We suspect these ladies have been used as breeding does. All had very swollen mammary glands that were full of pus and blood. Sadly, Krispie Kreme has fast growing lumps on her belly. The vet thinks that they have internal problems too.
Krispie Kreme has had tests on the lumps in her mammory glands which came out as non cancerous, but full of blood and pus. The lumps are invasive though and not viable to be removed. These started off as mastitus which was not treated and so infected her abdomen but both have got to the stage that treatment is too late. The vet says that to cut into her and try and remove the lumps is a bad idea as it will spread the infection as the lumps are not contained. He has recommended to stop surgical treatment now as it will not give either bunnies a good quality of life.
Krispie Kreme cannot be speyed because of the lumps on her tummy. They are very fast growing and have doubled in size over the weekend
This is Nesquick. She too had swollen mammary glands that were full of pus and blood. She had a hernia which is now fixed up and has started to lose weight quickly suggesting that she has some sort of internal problem. The vet has said either a massive infection, but more likely to be cancer of something. Her spay was not a routine spay and her womb was in very bad shape when she was operated on suggesting cancer. It is likely that she has problems stemming from not being spayed early enough.
If both had been spayed when young then this would not have occured in either rabbit.
Anyway Nesquick eye was bulging out and I have just taken her to the vets. They said its an abcess in the jaw and nothing can be done, I knew this day was coming but I'm so upset. She is such a lovely bun.
Then I had this little girl come in with her 2 brothers
They were the result of an accidental litter. They are all very underweight and very dehydrated They are 9 weeks old and are far too small and skinny These poor things were starving. The owner admitted she couldn't afford to feed them... although she didn't say she was neutering the parents.
The girl is the runt and so tiny and cold
