I've already talked to Randy, but I wondered if anyone had any ideas of what it was and if anyone else around here knew of any places that take in domesticated buns.
So I went to my local pet store where I know the people really well. When I came in, they had just gotten a new shipment of bunnies the day before and were having issues. They normally get the bunnies in at 8 weeks and they're normally all girls. They also normally get them straight from the vet. Well this shipment had gone somewhere else before coming to the store. They recieved 3 bunnies who were MUCH bigger than the rest. They put them all together and later on, one of the employees noticed one bun was humping the others. She went and picked the bun up and saw testes. So she seperated him from the others and that's when I came in.
They were telling me about it, so I asked to see him (he was in the back) so I could look him over and compare him. I wanted to see if he was the same size as the females, because then I was going to warn them about possible pregnancy because of the mounting. Well, I flipped him over and sure enough he had testes. He also had a VERY swollen upper area.
That area( the area in the picture, I just used a pic I found on the internet) was rounded and a dark pink and the area between the top and bottom was a DARK pink, red color. His fur was also sticking to the area.
I felt sooo awful for him. So I did the first thing I could think of, I called Randy. So Randy gave me a few numbers which I tried to get in touch with and couldn't.
The pet store is keeping him tonight, but tomorrow I'm going to go back when the manager is in and see if they'll let me have him to take to a rescue. The woman I talked with tonight said that they would probably just let me have him and that way I'd be able to take him to a rescue and get him the help he needed. I'd love to have more info about what he might have tomorrow and HOPEFULLY have a place where I could go.
So any suggestions about what it could be and anyone in the area who may know a place I could take them would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks guys!!
