Bunnny transport is complete! For anyone that hasn't heard about our massive efforts to make some space for more bunnies in Catnap, look here: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=37882&forum_id=7&page=1

Plus I had Big Mama out in the x-pen on the grass this evening after I got home, and I snapped a couple of pics. She is having much fun clipping all the clover off. I actually found a four-leafed one, and barely got to it before she did.



She is the last Flemish I have left.

Got a new guy today. He is seven years old, and boy does he look it. I am going to see about getting him into the vet tomorow morning first thing. He is uneutered of course, and I have never met a rabbit in my lifethat smells this incredibly bad. I know he has some poo stuck to his bottom, after the kids go to bed tonight I am going to put on my gas mask and see about cleaning him up some. He also has some serious goopy eye and dry, irritated skin above his eyes too. I am going to get him neutered asap, assuming Dr. Drake says he can handle it. His former owner called him "Smush", but I don't think I can stand to call him that, not after hearing this woman say it....but that's another story, LOL. Here he is:

ETA: See the big brown stuffy in the pics? Hubby just walked into the back room where this guy is, and he was..well...Hubby calls it his "bunny blow up doll" now, so um yeah. Definatly getting neutered soon.

Poor guy, he is so cute!

 

[myheart]

Please keep us posted about whether or not the vet will neuter him at his age. That would have to be hard on his little body, wouldn't it? Poor little guy...

Oh, the poor little guy; he just seems to eminate so much sadness. However, if he's found a 'friend' with the stuffie he must still have some zest for life.

I'm so glad that you're taking care of him, he looks like such a sweetheart, who's probably had a very rough life.

 

[gentle giants]

Well, Dr. says we can neuter him--as soon as the infection in his poor testicles is taken care of. Now that he is a little cleaner, I'm going to get brave and brush out that heavy coat.

 

[TreasuredFriend]

Good thing this fella knows you care, GG.

Thanks to the generosity of RO, it'll be awesome if more lose their manhood. Seriously. Much easier to Adopt when no firehoses are gushing out urnie jets.

Oh, I don't know, he is really not happy with me right now, LOL. What with getting the syringe stuck in his mouth three times a day for pain meds and antibiotics, and me trying to convince him to sit still so I can get rid of the matts and tangles in his coat (which he seems to be bent on keeping, BTW!) I think right now he would rather I leave him alone! I am basically just runnnig the brush over him two or three times every time I get him out for meds, which is making progress very slow. *sigh* :?

Some small good news in my bunny group. Buster has been adopted to a very nice young lady here in town, so he will be close enough for me to easily keep tabs on, which is nice. He will go to his new home on Tuesday, once his new slave has had the chance to set up his cage, pen, etc.

Also, my elderly guy with the bad teeth is getting neutered today, keep him in your thoughts for an easy recovery-and that the rest of his teeth are ok, as Dr. is going to check them while he is asleep. Also they are going to check his eyes, since it seems to me that the right one is oddly glassy looking. Afraid with his age me may be getting a cataract or something, we'll see.

 

[Luvmyzoocrew]

good vibes being sent the old mans way and woo hoo for Buster.

 

[gentle giants]

Well, it's no wonder the old man won't eat, when Dr. Drake took a look in his mouth he said he really doesn't have much of anything left at all. Honestly, I think it would be better to remove whatever he has left, because surely it's causing him pain. Dr. Drake I don't think will do it for me, though.

 

[Luvmyzoocrew]

Just his front teeth or all his teeth?



Poor guy it is ashame since he is older that the doc didnt just do it all at once as to not put him under again.

 

[LuvaBun]

I'm just seeing your blog for the first time, and I have to say -- you ROCK!!!

So many poor babies all finding happiness through you . I am delighted to hear Buster has got a forever home. I hope this older bun can be made to have a comfortable and happy life. Has he got a name yet?

Will be keeping up with this blog now.

Nope--ALL his teeth. I think Dr. Drake doesn't feel comfortable doing it, at least that was the impression I got when I mentioned it to him. I have made him an appointment with a really excellent rabbit vet for Saturday.

 

[TreasuredFriend]

such a brave trooper, e.f. (elderly fella). You are very caring to make the appt. with another excellent rabbit vet. Head rubs post-neuter surgery...

Congrats to Buster.

OH WOW how does that work with eating, he will have to eat purred things all the time? Poor thing

He should still eat just fine. Dallas has no teeth and eats like a pig. Shoot he can chow down on a papaya tablet like nothing.
