Young Bun
Hi all,
So I have just recently taken Daisy back to the vets after she had a very bad inner ear infection at the beginning of February where she was taken in for 5 days and thinking she had the signs of another. She has been very bright and her usual self since returning from the vets but last week she seemed to be disorientated when I got her out of her indoor pen but was fine in the pen and eating & toileting as usual. I took her to the vets to just have her checked over and on examination the vet checked her eyes and told me that she has lost sight in both her eyes and is completely blind - poor little thing.
She navigates fine in her indoor pen and knows where everything is, food, water and toilet area, but I just wondered if anyone had any experience helping a bunny who was born with full sight but lost it later on in life? She is coming up to three years old this summer.
They are usually outside in the nicer, not so cold, weather but now I am worried about putting her out there and her not knowing where anything is or navigating around. :?
I also have anther rabbit who I was trying to bond with Daisy which stopped whilst she was well but can they ever be together now as she cannot see, although she would be able to smell him and I wonder whether he would help her navigate outside in their runs and hutch area.
Any information/advice or anything in general would be appreciated.
Thanks.
