Jack's-Jane
Wise Old Thumper
Another friend from days gone by
For those who have never heard of her she was a Breeding Doe who was kept in a 4ft hutch for almost 3 years. She only came out to be mated. Consequently she had osteoporosis, arthritis, abscessated feet resulting in her having to have two toes amputated and sore hocks. She also had Breast Cancer and Uterine Cancer and underwent a mastectomy and a spay once it was established that the cancer had not spread to her internal organs. She did really well for almost 2 years and the horrendously aggressive Rabbit that she was when I took her in (hence her name) became a great big softy who loved a cuddle.
Eventually the infection in her feet became too much and whilst she was always very upbeat within herself it was obvious that we could not keep her pain under control. So we had to let her go. I often think of her, she was a real character xx
