Harley and Teagan were in urgent need of a rescue placement, and we are happy to announce that they joined our Precious Rabbits Rescue family this past weekend. These two bonded boys are in their senior years, and they will both be turning 10 this summer. They are currently settling in at one of our loving foster homes 🥰
Harley is a Mini Lop who has cataracts in both of his eyes, and he has extremely poor vision as a result. We also suspect he is starting to develop arthritis in his hind end. He will be receiving a vet assessment this week to confirm this, and determine if daily medications are needed to help him with any pain and discomfort he may be feeling.
Teagan is a Holland Lop, who currently seems to be aging at a slower rate than his bonded partner is, although we do believe he may be starting to develop some arthritis in his hind end as well. He will also be assessed by our vet this week.
With all of the rabbits we currently have in our care who have ongoing medical and/or dental needs, our vet bill continues to rise every week. We will be doing some additional fundraisers over the spring and summer, in an effort to help us cover some of our vet care expenses.
Over the next few weeks we have 3 of our permanent foster rabbits going in for dental procedures. Huckleberry will be going in on March 20th, Tiny Tim on April 8th, and Walter’s appointment will be booked soon. These 3 dental precedures will add an additional $800 -$1000 to our existing vet bill. We will also be booking Neo in for his neuter surgery, at an estimated cost of $300.00 - $350.00.
Please stay tuned for our upcoming fundraiser announcements. We recognize that not everyone is in a position to donate during these difficult times. If you are not able to offer a donation, you can still support us by liking, commenting, and sharing our posts, which helps us immensely in bringing attention to our fundraisers, and keeping our posts at the top of news feeds.
If you would like to sponsor or donate to the cost of our upcoming vet visits and/or dental precedures, you can send e-transfers directly to us at [email protected], or you can send donations directly to our vet clinic, South Side Animal Hospital at [email protected] Please ensure you are stating that your donation is to go on our account at the clinic.
If you’d like to donate any medical supplies instead, we are always in need of Meloxicam (aka Metacam), EmerAid, and/or Oxbow Critical Care. These supplies can be purchased through our vet clinic as well, and they will set any items purchased aside for us to pick up. If you’d prefer to drop off with one of our volunteers, or at one of our bun-spas, please let us know and we can make arrangements with you.
