Hey everyone...
Needing lots of vibes for Hermy for the morning. With the help of Karen, we rescued Hermy and Flopsy from a horrendous home... Anyway, I had an awful feeling this morning about them and needing a vet check anyway, decided to make one for this afternoon.
Took Hermy and Flopsy aka Little Whitey to our bunny savvy vets at 1:40 this afternoon and it wasn't very good news
Hermy is pregnant, just over 2 wees gone. However, there is no chance we can save the kits. She is over 600g underweight and left any longer, it is inevitable that she will pass away either close to full term or during birth. So, tomorrow she is going in for an emergency spay at 8:30am. Our vet said that she has been highly undernourished and whilst under GA, she also needs a dental as her teeth are overgrown and far too sharp. It's obvious she hasn't been fed anywhere near enough or given any hay. We were told she was 3 months old and a giant. In fact, she's a harlequin cross who's around 6/7 months. Her weight should be at 3kg and it is instead just under 2.4kg.
Then we have Flopsy... He is also underweight by over 300g. He is currently 1.4kg and should be around 1.7kg. His claws are far too long but thankfully, his teeth are ok. His poor paws are also completely urine stained.
I just don't understand some people in this world!!!!
So... off to the pet shop it was. They now have a mountain of toys to keep them busy and a massive bag of Excel and timothy hay. Lets just hope they want to eat!
So please, huge vibes for the morning please... I'm extremely worried! I also don't think these two buns will be getting rehomed. I'm way too attached and love them too much already... I hope things go ok tomorrow :/
