Thanks so much! It is just great to hear from you & thanks so much for the welcome! I'm planning on posting some pics very soon -- I'm just trying to figure out how. And I love the comment about being a bunny slave . . . hilarious. I am also a dog slave, chinchilla slave, and rat, hamster, hedgehog, and gerbil slave, since we've got 19 other pets in addition to the 9 bunnies. All this is lots of work, but so worth it!
I looked on the medical section of this site because I have a bunny with an abscess, and it was really helpful, thanks. It's funny what a close bond you develop with helping animals who are ill. I find that theycan really tell when you're helping them, even if you're having to do things that might be painful. My sick bunny is Ladybug, the former meat-bunny. I rescued her (along with 3 others) from a livestock auction. The conditions there were absolutely horrifying, but at least we saved 4 bunnies from becoming Easter dinner (no kidding, the auction was on Good Friday, sick). That was a few years ago, so at least the old girls could live out their final years in happiness -- there were all big love-bugs. I've lost all but Ladybug, now, but she seems strong, and has been sleeping every night on our ottoman, since it's nice & soft & I can keep her abscess clean that way.
Anyway, I'll look forward to speaking to you again, and in the meantime, again, thanks for the wonderful welcome!
Jill (and Ladybug)
