Hi,
I'm new to this group having tried to post this request on Etherbun andgot my hand slapped since the request is outside their rules.One of the members kindly referred me here.
My vet, Dr. Lauren Powers of Carolina Veterinary Specialists inHuntersville NC called me to ask if I could help her get a foster homefor a BIG (12 lb) girl with a serious back injury (Compression fractureat L1). The people who bought her at a farmer's market orflea market were told they could leave her in their garden so they wentto work leaving bunny outside. When they returned, shecouldn't move her back legs. She was taken to the emergencyclinic and X-rayed and referred to the specialty group. Iguess they aren't interested in either surgery (which isn't suggested)or nursing. Dr. Powers believes this will heal but she mayhave some residual bladder problems. In the short time shehas been with Dr. Powers she has regained some neurological functionand poops OK but needs to have her bladder expressed. Dr.Powers believes that rest and restricted activity will help.She is hoping someone will step up to the plate - other than me - tofoster this big but very laid back and gentle girl who will needspaying at some point. Eventually she will be available foradoption.
Dr. Powers can be reached at (704) 949-1100.
Thanks!
