Underground Squeaks

08/19/2025

We had a vet run yesterday for Cotton Lily & Doofenshmirtz’s second vaccines. Cotton Lily is already pending adoption. Doofenshmirtz is now ready for adoption https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/45402510-pittsburgh-pennsylvania-rabbit

We have two vet runs today. This morning rabbits Louise and Jalapeño Pepper are both being seen. Louise is showing signs of a possible serious ear infection. Baby Jalapeño developed a sudden slight head tilt over the weekend.

This afternoon Nate (kitten) heads to the vet to follow up on her mild re**al prolapse and chronic fatigue.

Thank you to those who have donated towards our medical fund! So far we have received $95 which covered almost all of yesterday’s vet visit. Thank you, Debbie, Mary and Kelly for your support 🫶

🆘 We still need medical funds 🆘

No amount is too small to make a difference! If everyone who sees this donates at least $5, imagine the difference that would make! Donation links can be found at linktr.ee/thesqueaks

‼️We also are running low on supplies‼️

Most needed:
• Science Selective House Rabbit Pellets
• Science Selective Chinchilla Pellets
• paper bedding for all our new mice
• Royal Canin dry & wet kitten food

💔 Our medical fund is running on empty 💔

Rescue never slows down, and neither do the vet bills. Right now:
🐇 Baby Jalapeño developed a head tilt
🐰 Louise may have a severe ear infection
🐈Nate has a follow-up appointment tomorrow

We haven’t had a break from medical needs. Every exam, every treatment, every prescription adds up, but every single one means hope and healing for the animals who depend on us.

If you’re able, please consider donating to help cover these urgent expenses. Even the smallest gift makes a real difference.

Thank you for standing with us and the animals through every hurdle.💚

🐈‍⬛ UPDATE IN COMMENTS 🐈‍⬛

Once again, when we are quiet it’s because things are chaotic and animal care (& people care) comes first!

We are headed to the vet today with Nate who has been meeting all her milestones much later than her littermates and is now having some urgent issues that needs to be addressed before the weekend.

Adam & I spent most of the week troubleshooting HVAC and electrical issues at one of our group foster homes. The air conditioning quit working and then the a/c units kept tripping the circuit breaker. We had to move animals around and purchase additional portable & window a/c units to keep all the animals safe & cool 🥵

Adam & I paid for rest of the supplies and air conditioners needed until the central a/c can be replaced. Both group foster homes are going to need the central a/c units replaced.

Thank you to Maggie & Brian for helping with the animals on Day One and Laura & John for helping on Day Two (and donating a portable a/c unit) 🙌

‼️ Supplies Needed ‼️

We are running extremely low on unscented paper bedding (see below for more info), aspen bedding, Small Pet Select paper pellet bedding ( for rat with respiratory issues), Science Selective chinchilla food, Science Selective House Rabbit food and Adult Rabbit Oxbow and/or Mazuri pellets.

On July 27th, eleven mice were surrendered. We updated that seven babies were born in rescue July 29th.

🤯 Yesterday, Mama Do gave birth to SEVENTEEN babies (video will be posted tomorrow morning) 🤯

That brings our current mouse total to THIRTY FIVE! Two have been placed in an experienced foster home. They are all extremely small for their ages so we working hard to get them extra nourishment. With the mouse baby boom comes the need for unscented paper bedding such as Small Pet Select.

🌟 UPDATE: Doof was safely neutered and is home recovering. Frank has a post-aspiration infection and got a teeth trim. Antibiotics and pain meds. Imaging did not give us a definitive answer on why he is prone to choking/aspirating 🌟

📣 A few updates 📣

• Doofenshmirtz heads in for a “high-risk” neuter today. Please send him (& us) love & prayers. We lost his brother due to cardiac arrest post-neuter. His mom died post-spay at another rescue. He has a history of “star gazing” and falling backwards. He’s negative for EC and has been cleared medically for neuter. His other two brothers were safely neutered with no issues.

• New arrival Cotton Lily heads in for her 1st RHDV2 vaccine.

• Frank N. Bunny is being seen due to a second choking/aspiration incident. We need to make sure he’s okay and try to determine why he’s choking. Send him love & prayers as well!

• Monica: ~4 month old guinea pig arrived this weekend; owner emergency

• 2 mama mice, 3 ~one month old fancy mice and 6 ~ten day old fancy mice arrived Sunday evening

• mama of the six appears to be pregnant again

• the other mama was heavily pregnant and had seven babies today (the owner only kept one mouse - daddy mouse)
