What the heck?Why this bunny is not moving?Doesn't she/he knows who I am?For crying out loud I am Florida - the Boski wife.

From the bad news I wanna share with you that today Ignacy couple hours after the neutered surgery passed away :( The autopsy didn't show anything abnormalities.Liver,heart,kidneys were normal.it is possible that Ignacy was very sensitive to the anesthesia.Now matter what was the reason we are all shocked.That was the first time for us to lost the bunny that way. His death was unexpected and we are all so sad.He was an amazing bunny.Very sweet and mellow.
You will be missed by many ......

Another bad news from the Rescue :( Yesterday we lost our beloved Lilka.We were trying to prepare for that moment because we know that her health is not good :( but how you can truly prepare for that?
She passed away very peacefully and very loved.Ola was with her till the end.Unfortunately this was meant to be :( For the last couple of weeks I try to gave her loving home the one she lost.We knew that we can give her proper care she needs(palliative care )I am just grateful that at list we got little bit more time with each other.
Lilka you will be missed by many.....

Maybe she is not looking (yet) like a Miss Bunnyverse but she is feeling good.Mojra just wanna to show that the reflection in the mirror is not the most important part for the bunny but feeling good and having appetite is that what's count.

News from The Rabbit Rescue In Torun

YOn Jun 27th we got notification about the abandoned bunny at the old cemetery near Torun.Not knowing about the condition of the Swietlik we knew it that we need to help him.Two hours later he was with us.Extremely weak, very skinny with body tem.35°C and so bad overgrown incisors that he couldn't even open his mouth :( He arrived at the Rescue at the last moment.
When we rushed with him to the Vet Swietlik was already lying down he couldn't hold his head and start breathing slower.There was no way to put the venflon because his veins were already collapsed.Plus additional stress could easily killed him.So the Vet gave him some Subcutaneous Fluids and also cut his incisors.Doing that it turned out that in the oral cavity (both sides)is full of pus and teeth are embedding in his cheeks.
Swietlik is also an older bunny.He weights just 75 dag.His intestines were totally empty then muscular atrophy and adipose tissue atrophy occurealso.Basically he almost starve to death.
After we came home from the Vet Swietlik was snuggle the blanket.I thought I will try to feed him but being hopeless not knowing if he will even swallow the food.When I took the syringe with Rodi Care he start eating slowly but himself.It's hard to describe what I felt in that moment when he start eating by himself.At that moment emotions took over.
Wanna say thank you to Basia the person which found Swietlik and reacted right away.Also Malgosia thank you for your unfailing help and support…
I will just keep for myself what I would like to write about person which sentenced him on such fate.

Swietlik health didn't change much but in that short period of time we are not expecting any of that.The most important fact is that Swietlik has a tremendous will to live.Today morning I was also shocked to see that he is trying to jump on the couch considering his week body he is so brave. As you all know the only food Swietlik is eating is Rodi Care (similar to Critical Care) we also need to supervised him so he will at lest eat 20-30 ml at once.Rodi Care is not just a food in many cases is a life injection.These patients can be found just at the special unit in Ola house :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ontUlZqz0cQ&feature=youtu.be

Koniczynka is with us sins Saturday and it's really hard to even describe her condition.Twisted legs(after old fractures) with horrible sore hocks (back and also front legs).Pus in her eyes and we know that what we see is just the tip of the iceberg.
Tomorrow we will perform head and also chest RTG.Koniczynka really likes to eat Rodi Care and also producing regular droppings.But often she is sitting in very unnatural position with her head leaning on the bars.She is stressing about shots but she is not afraid of people.
Koniczynka is a perfect example of a neglected bunny.If I would need to guess such advanced pododermatitis most likely is from being kept in a small, very dirty cage.Leaving her in a park was the best thing that could happen to her from her abusers.Looking at her is hard to think about something different then pain :( she must be feeling.But we will do everything we can to help her.Sins yesterday we are giving her pain medication (every 12hours) also antibiotic and paste for sore hocks.We are hoping that we can also save her leg:(

Remember when I mention the two bunnies which were send by mail?Gryka was the bunny which survived.When someone saw that the package is licking they decided to check what is inside.Inside was Gryka and another bunny(already dead).She is a younger bunny very stress out and we are just hoping that she is not pregnant.
Saturday 8.30 in the morning we got a phone call about the bunny found in someone private garden.But we knew right a way that Kocanka the same day will be with us in Torun.Quick phone call to Marta and Kuba and couple hours later Kocanka was with us :) We call her "our little Duszek" very delicate,calm but little reserved.
Tomorrow all the new bunnies are going to see the Doctor.Lately we got five new bunnies including 2 very sick.

Koniczynka has number of problems.Left back leg kneecap is separated from the thighbone.On RTG we can see the thighbone old fracture which led to malformation of the crural bones and radial bone.Left back leg is not broken but because of the condition of the left leg and position that Koniczynka was taking also the right leg is deformed.
Both back legs with terrible pododermatitis with purulent effusion.The situation is so serious that we are not sure If we will be able to safe one of the back legs.We will try!! Pododermatitis also on the front legs.
The next serious problem is Koniczynka eyes. In both right and left eye we are dealing with very strong pyoderma of conjunctival sac.In the right eye we can also see the mark after old damage of cornea.
Her root incisors and also in terrible condition and most likely they need to be removed.She is also having high temperature.We are giving her antibiotics(general and internal) and twice pain medications.Next week we will do the blood test.
Kocanka is about 2-3 months old girl with asthenic body-frame and also ear mites.She already start taking her medications.In the near future she will be vaccinated and in couple months will be ready to get spayed.
Gryka got vaccinated yesterday.She is still pretty young but not a baby bunny anymore :) Her health condition is not that bad.Her body type can suggest that probably she was little bit heavier before.If nothing will happen after we will get her blood test results she will be ready to get spayed in July.

Yesterday Luigi went through the treatment of removing his incisors,two cheek teeth and correction of the rest.That was the first treatment but for sure not the last one.His teeth on the RTG looking terrible.But because this treatment is very invasive we just manage to resolve some of his teeth problems.For now that was the most important part because under the incisors the pus was visible.Luigi pretty hard take that invasive procedure.Also he hate to be force feed.At night he ate one raisin.Not much but always something.From the good news he gain 30 dag.
Swietlik went through the treatment of removing all of his incisors and also two of the worst looking cheek teeth.The rest of the cheek teeth was corrected because they were hurting his cheeks what cause presence of blood and pus in the oral cavity.The RTG show us that his teeth are in very bad condition.That was also not the last treatment for him but some more are waiting for him in the future.It is still amazing how much he change in just one week being with us.He is our litter fighter!! After yesterday very painful and very invasive procedure he start eating Rodi not even being that stable on his legs.Today he is looking little fatigue but his appetite is great.In just one week he gain 20 dag. and his body temperature is normal.Next weeks we will do some blood test but for now we need to focus to make him even stronger.

Yesterday evening we got the phone call that the bunny was found in the bushes by the dog.We found the transport in 20 min. and only information we got was that the bunny eye is looking bad.After getting pictures of her we know that the situation is more serious! Unfortunately this is Myxomatosis which most of the time cause 90% mortality.The only chance we have to safe the bunny is start giving interferon (virbagen omega) which is very expensive and hard to get.But at the Rescue we need to be prepared for everything.So when Breva arrived at the Rescue we gave her interferon,antibiotics also
meloven,furosemidum and Subcutaneous fluids under the skin.She also have problem breathing.The biggest problem right now is very big swelling on her nose connected with pus discharge.Breva wants to eat and drink but immediately
she start choking. We are not pushing her because right now she needs time and peace...
From one eye there is a pus discharge another one is already closed because of the very strong swelling.Both legs and anus area having chafe.
It's not that difficult imagine how Breva life must look like before.Small dirty cage and then dumped like useless trash.It's another example of the abandoned bunny like that in just few days.
We wanna thank Natalia that you react and contact us.Marta & Błażej thank you for invaluable help.Without you she wouldn't stand a chance.

Warning!! Drastic!! Breva health situation didn't change but it also didn't get any worst which is a good news.On Tuesday when she supposed to leave the quarantine unit we decided to check her anus are.Then it turn out that maggots are coming out from her anus.And that was just the beginning.The maggots where also in her fur close to the anus are.We were cleaning her for 2 hours.It was tremendous stress for her but we didn't have a choice.We were even taking a brakes when we saw she started breathing worse.
But at least I got answer to the question I ask myself why aside from her breathing problems she is washing herself a lot.I even cut little bit of the fur around her nose, under the chin and around her legs.Even thinking that maybe she is pregnant?But those maggots gave me the answer.The moment they start coming out she was feeling enormous discomfort!!!
After we cleaned her and gave her medication today is a little bit better.She is clean and dry and doesn't feel discomfort anymore.In her life everything change.We're doing everything in our power to help her.For example yesterday she open for the first time her swollen discharging eye.It's not much but for us is a huge accomplishment.
