Flo's story is the story of hope for all those working to make the lives of bunnies better.
Flo was approx a couple of month old when a young lady visited her local farmer to see if he would sell her some fresh milk.
He sold her the milk and also offered her fresh rabbit meat. She had a look at the bunnies and discovered Flo who even though she was more dead than alive and only weighed 851 gr the farmer wanted to sell her as rabbit meat.
He was disappointed when the young lady insisted on buying her alive.
The young lady immediately drove to the vet with Flo. Flo's journey to full recovery took 9 month.
Thanks to her vet and the persistence of the young lady the farmer is never allowed to have bunnies again in his entire live.
These pics were taken the day Flo was rescued.
Warning first couple of photos are upsetting!
The vet said Flow is the worst case of neglect she had ever seen.
Her ears were so infected by the mites that they were covered in puss making Flo deaf.
Her eyes were so infected that she was blind.
She had 5 broken ribs.
Her mouth was chronically infected.
She had chronic diarrhoea and she was severely underweight (she should have been 2kg and only weight 851gr)
The vet didn't think Flo would survive.
Nursing Flo back to health was a full time job for the next 9 month. Here are just a couple of pics documenting her road to recovery.
Flo proved to be a real fighter with an unbreakable will to live.
Here her little personality already starts to shine through
And this is Flo today after 9 month. The young lady who rescued her and initially intended to nurse her back to health and then re-home her...well she is now another member of the failed foster club.
And who could say no to such a cutie pie
Who would have thought Flo would turn out such a fluffster
Flo happy in love
Hope Flo's story will give hope and strength to everybody dedicating their lives to rescue bunnies.
Flo says thank you
