Just to let you all know that my little disabled nethie came home yesterday!!!!!!

Im so happy

Ive had my eye on him for 2months now - and his finally here

his not 100% better and still has to have eye drops 3 times a day - im hoping it heals and ive told the rescue not to worry if he ends up having treatment all of his life - along as he has a good life however long it maybe thats main thing!!!

He is a Max Factor Nethie and was born with all sorts of problems!!!

His other eye has been removed and stiched up - it just looks as if he has his eye shut all the time!!! The other 'good' eye has a small ulcer on which has to be treated 3 times a day.

For a bun with funny back legs - he does get about a bit :lol: Bless him

Oh i get it now.

"The last gene you need to know about is the Max Factor gene. The name "Max Factor" was given to this gene after finding an imported Dwarf buck named Max appeared to be the original carrier. Max Factor will usually give you ones born with their eye slits open, and some form of deformation of the feet. Many times the front feet will be just "flippers" with no toes and sometimes you will get one with extra toes. The hind feet usually are turned "upside down" or turned inward. The eyes will usually be infected due to exposure in the birth canal. The double Max animals will have a different type fur also, seeming more like hair than fur."

Poor bun. So pleased he has you to take care of him. x
