Rescue rabbit or guinea pig of the month

[RabbitResidenceCat]

We would like to nominate dear Neroli. She's really not very well at the moment, a couple of weeks ago her left eye was looking just awful. Investigations proved that she had an abscess behind the eye caused by overgrown tooth roots penetrating the eye socket (OUCH!), so the decision was made to remove her eye (DOUBLE OUCH!). She is now slowly recovering with the help of her husbun, Oslo. She is at the vets today (26th) for a further op to have a gentimicin bead sewn into her socket, she couldn't have this before as there was a hole in the socket going into her mouth and if she swallowed it, it could kill her. It's a super strong antibiotic.

So lots of hearts and love for Neroli please!

Before the eye problems:

The Pledge a Pound team have now chosen the winner of the Rescue Rabbit of the month for February and it is:-

Dachs from Hopper Haven

So well done to him he wins a £20.00 supermarket gift card for Hopper Haven to buy some veg, supplies etc for him and the other rabbits at the Rescue.

Here he is

Thank you so much!

Dachs loves his veggies (he's not so keen on his pellets, but he's getting there), so extra veggies will put a smile on his face.

I'll post an update once he has a new friend/s as Lou will be keen to get his bonding underway once he's recovered from his neuter last Friday.

Thanks again

We would like to enter Daisy for the Rescue Rabbit of the month.

Daisy is a 5 year old REW dwarf lop. She only came into the Rescue last weekend, but as you can see from the photos she has very bad eyes, one a lot worse than the other. She was started on medication straight away and has now seen the vet. She had one tear duct flushed but the vet couldn't find the tear duct in her worst eye as it's too swollen we are hoping now she is receiving the correct care and medication she will make a full recovery, but this could take a while. She also has a bad case of mites.

This is how she came into the centre:-



Her mites


After some medication at the Rescue



After her visit to the vets

Oh my goodness- poor Daisy! That must be so painful -So glad you got her and she's having treatment- you can see the improvement already.

We would like to enter Amy and Teemo who came in recently



As you can see, Teemo is overweight and needed his nails sorted on arrival. He also needed his back end cleaned as he is too large to do it himself. He says that if he wins, he promises to only buy healthy food for his diet

[Foofy]

Thank you for entering Amy & Teemo Furry Friends
I am sure Teemo's bottom issue will soon resolve themself when he looses a bit of weight ;-) what a handsome pair

Can we enter rescue rabbit of the month please.
Willow has recently entered the shelter. We had to collect her as her owner could not drive. I could not believe it when the man opened a shed door and walked into a completely dark outhouse. Poor Willow had been living in the dark for 2yrs and her nails were extremely long. Looking around where she had been living, in one corner of the shed,there was a huge pile of droppings, which looked as though it had never been cleaned out. After all Willow has been through, she has turned out to be one very friendly bunny.
