I am absolutely devastated💔
Thanking you lovely lady Velvet Valley Rabbits for being there for this baby and looking after her every need since she came to you with horrific injuries sustained on the trip to you. It was truly the kindest thing to let her go and end her suffering. No more pain.
RIP beautiful The Dishevelled Bunny "Aurora" Beloved Ice cream bean🌈
It is with a totally devastated heart I am sharing the news of the passing of Aurora, who was euthanized at the vet this afternoon. The damage done to her feet in the care of Raggys pet transport was severe. From the extended transport in unsanitary conditions the pads of her feet died and when they finally fell away it exposed bone and caused her ligaments to dislocate. It was horrific and the suffering she went through unimaginable. I can only be thankful that she is no longer suffering.
I have always been so hesitant to transport rabbits and this was my second time, first time was a breeze (with a different company) this time was all I had feared and more. Please do not make the same mistake as me and either transport your animals yourself or quadruple check the credentials of anyone advertising as a transporter! also encourage anyone who has had a bad experience to please report it! And leave a bad review! As we are now after this experience being told of other people's bad experiences and if we had known, Aurora would never have been put into their care.
I again want to thank V at The Dishevelled Bunny for being so supportive during Aurora's treatment 🩷 What an amazingly caring and intelligent women, a serious treasure trove of information on rabbit care.
I am also on a much more selfish side so disappointed that Aurora's genetics will not be able to improve my herd, she was seriously the most plush bunny I had ever felt, had such a gentle temperament and was obviously incredibly robust to even arrive here alive after the treatment she endured in transport. She was a credit to the fantastic breeding and animal husbandry of V.
