Otis our big disabled boy has had his vet check

And it went really well I was a bit nervous as you are never quite sure what the vet's opinion is going to be over such a severe disability. But Robin was very positive. Not necessarily about being able to improve Otis but positive about his quality of life as it is right now. Such a relief!

He was really pleased with his overall condition and doesn't believe Otis to be in any pain. His ears were checked for infection but they look good, his heart seems fine and a urine sample was tested for infection but got the all clear

Like me Robin doesn't know if Otis can improve, his reflexes are very poor. But thinks it is definitely worth trying, especially as Otis copes with everything so well. So he has filled in our physio referral form and we have booked an acupuncture session for the 12th

So next we will see what the physio says on Tuesday.

Great news Mind you, he does have a very dedicated carer wrapped around his lovely paws :lol:

fab news. What is Otis's story ? I have seen loads of pics and know he is very affectionate, but missed when you got him.

He has been here three weeks now and yes he has wrapped us right round his paw!

He came from lovely owners but they could no longer giving him the day to day care he needed while running a busy business. They are donating monthly towards his care as its a very big business

He contracted ec last march. They nursed him through and he seemed better. He was vaccinated in September and had a huge relapse and went off his legs. He had another relapse at Christmas and then they really started to struggle with him. I can see why as it is really hard work and there is no break from it. But they did do a really good job

Otis is an absolute star and although it can be a struggle, him being such a lovely loving bunny makes it worth it.

Awww at least he came from caring owners which is heart warming. How big is he, Otis looks huge in photos.

He does come across as a gentle and appreciative bunny, if that doesn't sound too anthropomorphic :shock:

There's something about him - perhaps he's an old soul in a bun's body.

So glad to hear about his physio and acupuncture. Lucky boy

He has his own beanbag to watch neighbours on so be as anthropomorphic as you like

He only weighed 5.5kg today but was 7.5 in his prime

Oh bless. I do love Otis. [emoji4]

Wonderful news about Otis.


My Delilah is 7kg+........ dear old Lumpy........

I am so glad Hugo is getting such wonderful care and he got a good report. He sounds like a truly lovely lad.
It is also heartwarming to know his prior owners are still concerned he gets sufficient care.
