Sophia came into Windwhistle's care as her owner could not afford the vet bills. She appeared to have broken her front leg, and following a x-ray, it was discovered she had 2 fractures. She was then booked in to have her leg amputated. This little bunny is only 8 months ago and full of 'Sass' and was coping well on her 3 remaining legs. She was making a brilliant recovery but this week she has been struggling.

Introducing Logan from Warwickshire Rabbit & Guinea Pig SOS.

Logan came to us via a Vet in Sutton Coldfield, the vet contacted us as Logan had been signed over to them by his owner and they therefore began the search for a rescue space.

Logan was bought to the vet as him and his companion (maybe brother) did not seen to be getting on and Logan had been limping for a few days so the owner thought he had hurt his leg......

As you can see from the pictures, this was very obviously an injury that Logan had had for some time as the whole foot was actually missing!

Goodness! How sad.
I hope both Sophia and Logan cope with 3 legs in the future.
an extremely difficult choice for the team this month but well done to Windwhistle.
