As expected, Coco is very overweight and her back end is very sore and swollen. She gave me a bag of Wagg which is what they were fed on. Then I saw Riley...... She told me Coco was 3 and Riley was 2 which obviously isn't true. She gave me Coco's vaccination card (which is 3 years out of date) and the card says shes 4 years old. Riley looks 6+ and is a bag of bones
I took both rabbits to the vets to try and find out the problems. The vet isn't holding out much hope for little Riley. He is possibly the skinniest rabbit I have had in and she said she wont neuter him, even if he miraculously gains weight due to his poor condition. She said there is no way he can be vaccinated either. He has unusual teeth - some are missing and the others are not growing correctly. At the moment his teeth don't need anything doing though. She is worried that he has problems with his kidneys also. The previous owner has told me Riley has never seen a vet.
So its just a waiting game now... hoping that Riley will pull through even though his odds are against him.
