We have taken in a new bunny at Wilford Rabbit Refuge today (big thanks to Tracy and OH for transporting her and her husbun to us). My OH has named her Meg White.

She has horrible black lumps on her nipples and bloody discharge from them, so we suspect she either has mammary cancer or a really bad infection (mastitis). If that wasn't enough to contend with, she also has deformed front feet which point outwards and look almost like flippers.

She's booked in at the vets first thing tomorrow, so I'll let everyone know how we get on.

Oh, bless her - poor girl

She's absolutely stunning - hope she can be nursed back to health, and that her feet won't cause too many problems.

Lots of positive vibes for her xxxxx

Meg went to the vets this morning, and the vet thinks the mammary problem is a combination of infection and cancer, so she's on a course of antibiotics to clear up any infection. When the infection is under control we can decide on the best course for treatment of the cancer.

The vet thinks that the 'flipper' front feet are caused by congenital deformity which is likely to gradually get worse and worse

I think she's going to need bedding on vet bed because she's already walking on the side of one foot, and unfortunately the deformed front legs mean she's dragging her belly on the floor which is irritating her nipples and causing horrible bloody discharge.

Poor girl. At least she is in good hands now and will be made as comfortable as possible.
