Mama Doe
Neighbour from down the road caught me last night as I was walking home - said she had taken a bunny from the lady who ironed her clothes. Kept in appalling conditions in a tiny cage and hadnt eaten for 2 days as owner had 'run out of food' - never had hay as it made her house smell horrible and kids poking it all the time.
Anyway my friend got it a couple of days ago and it seemed he was already in stasis....he went to vets and had an injection and pain meds (I forgot what the injection is they have - maybe metaclop?). Anyway his bum is all matted and he bites (unsurprising considering he has been terrorised by kids).
She cant cope with him, she keeps guinea pigs but has no experience with rabbits, and is terrified of him now he has bitten both her and her friend. She also has two young kids and whilst she has told them not to pick him up they do chase him which isn't good - and even whilst he was in the carrier to come to mine I had to stop one of them poking her fingers into the carry case. She really has done her best with him in the last couple of days though..
Anyway - he hasn't tried to bite me yet - examined his mats, gave him some tempting foods and a heat pad and left him to it last night - checked him a couple of times in the night and he is eating and drinking. I do have a question which I will post in health soon :wave:
Will post some pics later :thumb:
