EMERGENCY!
10 years ago
Well, we aren't an official rescue yet, but the rescue work has definitely started. We fostered a bunny (named Bunny!) for a few days last week, and now we have an emergency case. This little boy was just found today in front of an abandoned home with all his stuff. A nice woman had stopped thinking the cage was being thrown out and was going to pick it up when she saw this poor, neglected soul inside! We've checked him over, and he's VERY thin. I can see his spine. He should be at least twice his current weight. His ear is so thick with mites that it is a solid, hard scab all the way down. He's very sweet and friendly and had no problems with me flipping him over to check that he was a boy. Either he has been fixed or he's very young still, but in this condition it's hard to tell.
I've already started him on Nutrical to help him gain some weight quickly, and we'll be treating his ear shortly with some oil and taking him to our vet tomorrow to see if he recommends antibiotics or something else stronger. We'll be reporting him to OKC Animal Welfare in hopes the one who moved and left him in their yard can be found and charged with neglect and abandonment. The poor boy had a bag of hay and all his food and treats in Walmart bags next to him, but he had very little food or water in his nice cage. Someone clearly cared about this rabbit a lot at some point, but then someone left him in the sun alone to die.
If anyone wants to donate toward his care, I'll let you know what his vet bill is when I'm back tomorrow. We'll get him cared for and charge it if we have to. I doubt it'll be too much since we have all the supplies already, but this poor little guy is very bad shape. Never leave a pet rabbit alone outside!!

Still have 3 commission slots open for non-patrons right now... We could really use the help. Our bills are quickly adding up!
