Good job Gypsy! How exciting that you now are"legal" to treat our furry friends. You will have to keep us posted onher progress. Where are you planning to release her? Does she have tostay in the same area as she was before, with all the coyotes? Or canyou release her somewhere else?

That is just awesome that you saved this bunnies life!

Can you release her there at your house? or is it too congested?

How did the vet handle her? did he give her gas to make her sleepy?

I am so proud of you and your hubby. This is veryheartwarming to know there are others who go out of their way to help alittle bunny.

My mom raised 5 and released them. I have a photo I need to put online.

She also found a baby chipmunk along the road.... didn't even have itseyes open. She was so imprinted that Mom didn't release herand she had her for 7 years! that's a long time for achipmunk.

My Vet waswonderfull with her shei think kinda fell inlove with himbecause she was reallygood, not overly stressed,he found no need forgas as he felt itwouldnt be in her best interest ,he just put a localin the tear in herside and quickly stitchedit lol i guess even wildbunnies like their ears rubbed, imhoping by the time i need torelease her i have a new digicam i would love to be able topost pictures of her release ,tho its going to bebitter sweet i will be happyand sad to see her go , alreadyshe has impacted my life in just thefew days she has been here ,she even popped out this morningto get a treat , i was thrilledto say the least , for the last 2 daysshe has ignored me, l wasfeeling slighted for a bit lolbut this morning she mademy day. her stitches look really goodthis morning no redno swelling no weeping im thinkingin as few as 2 days ican release her.:? iwill post in again later to leteveryone know the latest , havea good morning
