Aww jeez... Brownsburg, Indiana

It sounds like there might be an eyelid deformity that's causing irritation. Sometimes the eyelids can be too loose and turn the wrong way, scratching on the eyes and causing ulcers and watering. I did notice her eyes look really watery, is that the case? And she doesn't open them all the way? It might be something to look into, if the vet is good and rabbit savvy, and maybe you'd like a second opinion--you could also tell the future owner it would be a good idea (again, if that truly is the case).

Sometimes they will cut down dewlaps that are TOO big--so big they can't clean their hindquarters. We had a bunny on the forum a while ago that had to get "dewlap reduction surgery". It doesn't look too excessive from the pics, though, so that might not be needed.

She is really beautiful :inlove

What a sweet baby girl! I'm so glad you saved her. Wish I could help but I'm too far away I hope you find a good home for her soon and she gets whatever surgeries she needs!

Oh my goodness, She is adorable :inlove:

Bless you for getting her out of a bad situation :thanks:

From the pictures she doesn't look very big.

I learned that she's "medium"-sized...but she's the biggest rabbit I've personally ever seen! xD She's bigger than my cat, at least. The vet said she was a mini-lop, and I was like "A MINI lop?! This is a MINI?!"

The word Mini is misleading lol

Ditto on everyone's comments.

Did the vet mention what the black spot was by Stella's eye, in the 4th photograph?

Did the rabbit-savvy vet clear her of warbles? Don't hesitate to get a 2nd opinion from another rabbit-savvy veterinarian. That skirt removal stuff sounds unusual however I'm aware of a friend who's New Zealand white had a butt lift from the amount of overlapping skin by her derriere. It interfered with cleanliness and hygience concerns.

Echoing the referrals that Haley posted in Indiana, and to screen carefully. Be cautious, sounds like you're already being cautious with the "huh" remark.

Thank Heavens you took Stella out of the cage in the yard.

We made flyers today and took them to all of the vet offices and pet stores we could think of. We also posted a Craiglist listing- and have gotten three hits! One person in particular is sticking out to us Progress!

You can find her an awsome home really fast on craigslist! I use it to sell and buy all sorts of things! I almost always sell stuff within a few day of the ad being posted. I live in Indiana also. I would take the pretty lil gal but no room =[ Thanks for taking her in though =]

Craigslist can be a good tool but you have to be very careful. Lot's of weirdo's out there. Not to mention people looking for animals who don't have good intentions.

Yes very true. I would take her to them and check out their place.
