Lady Lydia of Lopsley

J

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
Her beauty comes at a price. She has congenital pododermatitis (sore hocks). She also now has pus around her eardrum :cry: Her Uncle, the late Lord Lopsley's 'problems' first presented with pus around an eardrum.....................

Yes, her fur is 'Rex'. She is a Velveteen. As yet the breed is not standardised but the first Velveteens were a cross between a Rex and an English Lop.

oh she IS a beauty!!! what a gorgeous lady.. may she be blessed with perfect health for all her days!
 
she is so gorgeous hope she feels better soon and has a very long and healthy life living the life of luxury with you :D
 
Poor Lydia - she does look quite sorry for herself. :( Let's hope it's nothing serious. Have you told the breeder about her problems?

She is so beautiful :love:

He knew about them which was why she was not used for breeding. At least her breeder re-homes 'stock' (Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh I HATE THAT WORD :x ) rather than the alternative.........................

I THINK she has been 'trained' to stay in that rather forlorn position when being handled etc. Apparently its part of preparing the Rabbit for showing. I am told it is acheived by lots of regular handling every day from birth.
I dont know if what I have been told is true.
Compared to some of the Rabbits I have had from breeders all the Velveteens have been extremely calm when being handled.
When they are out and about its an entirely different story, they are all NUTTERS!! :lol:

Hi Jane. I now realise that Bournville, my ordinary "moggy"-type bunster, is really a velveteen in disguise!!!! He adopts that position as soon as his feet hit the kitchen table! I knew he had hidden depths! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Lady Lydia really is a beauty Jane, she has such an adorable little face... sending lots of healing vibes
 
This is the problem with new breeds, they are so inbred and need outcrossing more i.e velveteen lops breed out to english lops, then back to velveteens to prevent all these problems. I have my fingers crossed for our Lady, hopefully it'll come to nothing.
Velveteens generally do sit in this positions when still as it is a trait of the english lop. It shows off their mandolin shaped body well which is desirable in both breeds.
 
I really hope everything works out with Lydia and that you have caught it early - I really hope shes with you for many years...
Shes a beautiful Princess and we love her to bits and pieces
