Spudsey what a little star she is. Glad she must be feeling ok. 12 is an amazing age
:wave: She certainly is! Need to find something to put down on my laminate floor so she can have a little bit of exercise later. Hate these indoor cages!
Bless. Hope she is continuing to do well. Did you manage to get her some apple sticks btw?
We had a vets appointment with Simon at the cat@rabbit clinic today. He thinks it's looking less like myxi �� she may have got something in it or caught it herself but we'll never know. Continuing with penicillin injections, eye drops and metacam and back again next week with Simon.
Hi All
Just a quick update on Spudsey....she's permanently indoors at the moment and has slowly adjusted to being in the warm and with lots of attention! Her eye is still very sore, the vet said it looks like her eyelid is stuck to her third eyelid so it must be quite sore She has also got snuffles again for the third time this year, although this seems to be getting a lot better with daily nebulising and yet another course of penicillin injections. Whether she reaches her 13th (!) birthday in April I don't know, we're just lucky to still have her at the moment.
Wow, I cant believe it is 13 years since you started hand rearing her !! How amazing that she is still fighting on despite all the health problems she now has. Spudsey must be so very special to you and I am sure you are treasuring every day that she remains with you. What an exceptional little Wildie Bunny
I’m glad she is indoors and enjoying the attention sending lots of vibes for her x

I didn’t know Spudsey’s story, she is certainly amazing, and a credit to your care
Me neither! She was the only rabbit at my last vets who had two vaccination cards! She is super special to us, absolutely dreading the day she goes but we just need to remember how incredibly lucky we have been to have her
Thank you so much Yes most of Spudsey's story is on the forum, it was the place I turned to when we first had them and I don't think I would have got through the hand rearing without the help of some very lovely people!
I searched for Spudsey’s story and it was lovely to read
And how lucky she is that you saved her and enabled her to live such a long and happy life Sending lots more vibes for her
