Baby Blue Bee Bunnies Entry
This is our gorgeous Bohdana’s story:
This little toot was found dumped at the side of the road, a lady saw the bun trying to jump into a van and caught the bun.
This little bun was no older than 8 weeks old, absolutely TINY and overly trusting. We suspect either someone has just purchased them from a breeder and immediately dumped them or they were the last one in the litter not sold and the breeder dumped them.
This was their 1st Easter in this world and already dumped at the road side to die.
We have since had a big rollercoaster with 'them' over the last month. Sadly we were sure we would lose the little one. But they have shown their strength and resilience is in abundance.
Their initial ultrasound and bloods showed kidney disease and we also had serious fears of dental disease. A combination which sadly would have an inevitable fate. Bohdanas little eye was continually weeping due to dental spurs (unusual at such a young age) and their weight kept dropping daily to critical level.
Two weeks ago, they went to the vet, we assumed, for the final time. We expected them not to come home. This time however, the bloods showed the kidneys to be repairing themselves and the xray showed no dental disease, only overgrown molars. Bohdana went under GA for exploitative surgery and to have the spurs burred, at the same time they got neutered (much to our surprise!). The news from our vet team seemed good! We took them home and focused on getting their weight up and still baffled as to what had caused the initial kidney levels and severe weight loss. All was good so we thought
Then we then got a call to say that a second look at the recent xray and bloods showed infact what had been the problem. When Bohdana was dumped, there is a chance they were actually dumped. Like thrown out a car. The xray and bloods showed musculoskeletal damage along their back which had caused the muscle wastage, weight loss and kidneys to have been injured. An injury that could have been sustained had they been flung.
Bohdana is still on strict kennel rest and on pain relief and anti inflammatories until we see an improvement and healing and is enjoying lots of extra high calorie feed and cuddles. Now we know they will get better, we can really look to set them up for a good future. One we promise will be everything they deserve and more.
* Bohdanas vet bills are extremely high so far. If you would like to donate, you can donate on the home page of our website or purchase a raffle ticket for our current fundraiser *
