Mama Doe
amongst other things!
A RSPCA inspector brought in a bunny for opinions on euthing it. I told him I'd take her, he told me it was unhomable, I said I can rehome that rabbit, he asked how could I rehome this ugly knackered rabbit when they couldnt rehome all the pretty ones they are inundated with ( :evil: ), After a bit more 'discusion' I now have the poor mite.
She is a small wee bun and quite thin. I would like a bit of advise on the best way to fatten her up as she desperately needs a GA but is too thin to safely have one just yet. She has only one ear...but where her ear should be is awful! She has a thickened ear base/stump which is full of crust and infection, deep down into her ear. (The crud kind of looks like ear mite crud) we cant decide if she was a) born with no ear b)has had her ear deliberatley cut off at some point or c) has been so badly infected her ear lost its blood supply and simply rotted away! :shock: (pictures to follow)
She is very friendly but was obviously stray for a while. she has ate well and poo'd well She's currently on abx to try and clear some of the infection so we can reaccess her ear, she needs beefed up so when she is strong enough she can have a ga to clean up the ear with a view to possibly amputating the infected stump and of course spaying her. I'm in two minds to her age, she is almost like a baby bun but the vets opinion is she is quite aged, she also has the start of minor spurs on her teeth.
She was with the RSPCA since xmas eve and was named Van Gogh, she deserves a much prettier name than this so I've got my thinking head on! Maybe you lot can help me when I get pictures up tomorrow
I'm desperately trying to not think of the possibility this may not be a happy ending but at least she is safe with me for the timebeing, wait till you see her, she's beautiful
