Rescue Slammed With Dumps

[SnowyShiloh]

AIEEEE! Oh my gosh, that poor bunny. I can't imagine how badly that must have hurt! Poor baby! He looks like such a darling too. Is he a lop or do you think the mites damaged his ears so much that they made them lop? Also, WHAT is the brown stuff? When was he found? What's his name? I so wish I could help him :tears2: I'm very thankful for all the bunny loving people who volunteer their time, homes, money and love to help bunnies like him. Thanks, guys!

Wow, It still looks painful. Do you know if he is getting pain meds?

He looks so precious. I can't for the life of me figure out how someone can turn any animal loose to fend for itself.

His name is Penuche (puh-NOO-chee). He is an uppy-eared bunny, with the lopping caused by the mites. The brown stuff is a discharge that accumulates in the ears. He was caught early yesterday morning and immediately rushed to our vet in Jacksonville. I'm told he a real sweetheart. He is doing much better now with pain meds.

I'm glad to hear he is receiving pain meds. His ears look like raw meat :tears2:

On another note, I was thinking the photos you have of his ears would be a good example for the Rabbit Health Library Forum, Ear Ailments.

Poor little darling. I hope someone nice adopts him! I want him! I adore his name. Penuche fudge is amazing, I've made it many times I'm so glad he's getting care now! Patti how long do you think he was outdoors? I certainly hope his owner didn't let his ears get half that bad and then release him!

Omg....how horrible. Poor bunny. I'm glad he's getting the medical attention he needs.

I'm sorry to hear that! I've been volunteering down at Hop-a-long Hollow in Norwalk and theyj're totally full right now but getting plenty of calls. It's so hard to make the decision to turn rabbits away.

I grew up in Norwalk in the Silvermine area. Where is the Hop-a-Long Hollow in Norwalk?
