Jack's-Jane
Wise Old Thumper
Geoffrey and his brother were bought from a Breeder. The buyer thought they were getting a Buck and a Doe but obviously the Breeder mis-sexed one of the Buns
The brothers lived together but at puberty they had a huge fight resulting in Geoffrey sustaining injuries that required surgery All went well with this but his owner felt unable to keep both Rabbits so Bobtails Rescue was contacted. The owner agreed to get Geoffrey neutred before signing him over to Bobtails.
Unfortunately during the neutering Geoffrey sustained oxygen deprivation resulting in severe brain damage The owner had already lost a cat during neutering by the same Vet ...........:?
Anyway, it was initially unclear how longterm Geoffrey's problems would be and Bobtails still agreed to take him on. At first he could do nothing for himself at all and was blind
Bobtail's Vet took over Geoffrey's care and several tests were run to try to establish a prognosis or if PTS would be kinder
Gradually over time Geoffrey became more mobile. He always retained an excellent appetite and is extremely calm and affectionate. The situation at the moment is that Geoffrey has regained the use of his limbs and can sit up and get himself about. Although it's more of a drunken stagger than a hop.
He can differentiate between light and dark but has no other vision.
He has bilateral otitis externa at the moment (infected ears) and a nasty case of mites causing some infected dermatitis. But he is on treatment for these problems and it is hoped he will respond well to them. He also needs his bladder expressing as he cant do so for himself.
Geoffrey loves his food as you can see from these pics!!
We dont know what the future holds for Geoffrey. We will take one day at a time. For now he is a very happy Bunny and we will make sure he always is
