As the title says really, just rescued 7 rabbits and have another coming in tomorrow.
I already have 10 house buns of my own so space is very tight with limited opportunities for out time. The weather is so wet here so they can't go outside. My buns are being confined to our bedrooms as we can't mix them with the newbies!
All have been checked by the lovely Jason in Gloucester and 3 are receiving treatment. One poor bun has a nasty eye injury so is receiving anti bs and eye drops, another has eye problems probably related to teeth so has already had her tear ducts flushed and is now on eye drops and a third has a raspy chest and is sneezy although there is no discharge, he's on septrin. A fourth bun, a little girl is underweight but seems to be making up for it already!
I plan to start vaccinating them after Christmas once the holiday season is over and the vets are back to their regular opening times. I want to limit the possibility of out of hours call outs!
Once vaccinated I plan to move on to neutering / speying the ones that can be re-homed first. I'm trying to raise funds like mad. I've had moments of feeling overwhelmed but I am coping I have also enlisted the help of some fab people, some who are selling the little cushions I make to raise money for vaccinations/ neutering etc and another brilliant lady who is able to offer a home or three!
This is a mammoth task for me emotionally as I always worry that no one can look after the buns like I do The lovely Alice at Windwhistle Warren is an excellent source of support too and the voice of reason. From Day 1 when I first took these buns on Alice has been my backup - my plan B. I would prefer to vaccinate / neuter and rehome the buns to suitable homes myself but Alice has made it clear she is on standby to help - what an amazing lady
Positive vibes would be very welcome RU :wave:
