Hi Everybunny!
An update on Dusty following her getting a thorough check over once she'd had time to decompress yesterday.
We'd noticed her bottom lip hanging a little while watching her settle in so suspected dental issues which would explain why she had such a dirty bum and was quite thin. On inspection we've found that she does indeed have dental disease that is causing discomfort. When a bunny has dental problems, they will often stop cleaning themselves and stop consuming their cecotropes. This, as well as causing the dirty bottom, can also cause weight loss/malnutrition even if they're otherwise eating well. Cecotropes are a very important part of the bunny digestive system.
If the pooey bum was what stopped her having further pregnancies rather than her having uterine issues, that's great! However, if, as is likely, we have to do an incisor removal, that's going to double our operation costs for these buns from an estimated Β£400 to approximately Β£800 in total! π³π
She's going to have the teeth burred and her spay ASAP which will be a minimum of Β£200 so if you're able to help with any amount towards this please consider a contribution via PayPal or bank transfer πππ
If we can also raise an extra Β£130 we will be able to neuter her husbun, Basil to reduce the amount of time they're separated so π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Thank you x
