Mama Doe
Matilda arrived here first thing this morning. Unfortunatly because of the state she was in both me and Angela had to spend quite a long time up at the vets this afternoon cleaning her up. She is slightly overweight but in very poor condition. She is only 1 year old but because of her problems looks much older. She has bad mange mites all over and some of the scabs on her back end as a result were several inches long. Her entire underside and back end was covered in scabs, poo, urine and matted fur. Her genitals were badly swollen and the skin looked so sore She was so uncomfortable she kept moving her back end and couldnt settle and on top of all this she had ear mites and blocked tear ducts. We gave her an ivomec injection and I cleaned her ears and flushed her tear ducts whilst angela made a start on shaving her back end. She looked so much more comfortable after she had been shaved and cleaned up. She was being fed big bowls of mix and kept in a small area in her previous home :evil: We now have her on a much better diet and once the antibiotics, ivomec and skin cream kick in she will be a lot better. She has gone to stay with Angela for a bit until she is well enough to be spayed as she has a huge area for her to run around. At 9.25kg she is the biggest rabbit I have ever taken in to the rescue :shock: . Any idea what breed she is?
Her rear end AFTER we had started to clean her up :evil:
One of the holes in her back
Some of the huge scabs we removed
Looking a lot happier and cleaner running around in my vets
