Introducing and congratulating Bun Bun on his recent adoption 🖤

A good samaritan was on a walk last month when she found Bun Bun seeking shelter under a car. She and a friend got him in a carrier, made him a temporary setup on their front porch, and started looking for resources online when they found us. They offered to foster, so we got them set up with everything they needed and scheduled Bun Bun a vet visit to address his many medical issues.

Bun Bun had urine scald and staining, a blocked tear duct resulting in a weepy eye, a heavy flea and tick infestation, and he was malnourished. Over the past month and a half, Bun Bun has fully recovered, settled in, and blossomed into the happiest, sweetest little guy. After his neuter, his rescuer and foster mom realized she just couldn't let him go 🖤

Please keep Bailey in your thoughts and prayers 🖤

After her suspected bladder stone and and stone removal surgery she was doing well. The night before her post-surgery follow-up visit, though, she had a short bout of stasis. It made us suspicious that there was either more to the calcified mass removed during her surgery or something entirely different and undiagnosed was bothering her. Over the weekend, she ate less and less until Sunday when we found a little blood in her litter box and she was refusing to eat much of anything at all.

It was back to the vet today for a check-up. The mass removed during her surgery was sent out for evaluation and we're waiting on blood panel results to come back as well. In the meantime, we did start her on an antibiotic in case all she's dealing with is a UTI.

We should, hopefully, know more in a few days, but she has us very worried in the meantime and is requiring a lot more personalized care. Today's visit was just over $400 on top of her $500 surgery and $500 emergency visit from a couple of weeks ago. The bunnies are really putting us through it lately. Any donations toward our recent vet expenses would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you always for your support 🫶

Congratulations to Nolan who found his yesterday 🖤

This sweet boy came to us in early November of last year after he was found on the side of the road by one of our longtime followers and supporters. He was in rough shape and had quite the road to recovery, but our incredible veterinary partners and his amazing foster mom helped get him to where he is today. Nolan, now Gus, gains two human sisters with his adoption and they hope to eventually find him a bunny friend as well 🖤

Please help us welcome Isla and Kaya 🖤

The girls were transferred from earlier this week to free up space for their rescue to pull more bunnies from the Washington County site where Jude was rescued.

Isla was born in August of last year shortly after her mom and dad were rescued from a Wendy's parking lot by a good samaritan. Mom rejected the litter after a couple of weeks and they had to be hand-raised from there. Isla is available for adoption and those attending Bunny Yoga with us on Saturday will be able to meet her there.

Kaya and her siblings were seeking shelter in a wood pile on a very hot day in June of last year. A good samaritan reached out to Underground Squeaks after not seeing their mom for a few days. We partnered with Underground Squeaks to get Kaya and her siblings to safety. Rescue came just in time for Kaya who was barely hanging on when she was rescued. Kaya still needs to be spayed, but will soon be available for adoption.

Another day, another vet visit...

Last night, Bailey wasn't interested in her dinner and after about an hour of observation, we could tell she was having trouble urinating. A late night emergency vet visit determined Bailey likely has a bladder stone. Thankfully, she perked up while at the vet and has been doing well since returning to her foster home, but we'll need to schedule a follow-up with one of our veterinary partners this week to confirm and if she does have a stone, she'll need surgery to remove it ASAP.

Three emergencies in three weeks has us feeling drained mentally, emotionally and financially. Any donations towards Bailey's emergency visit and future veterinary care would be so greatly appreciated. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers 🖤

Jude has been making gradual progress this week. He's been eating more, his 💩 look more normal, and he's even been getting excited to see us. We've stopped assisted recovery food feedings and been able to stop several of his prescribed medications as well. Unfortunately, one of the antibiotics prescribed for Jude has been causing him some GI issues that we're now working through.

As for test results, the fluid in Jude's abdomen did not grow any bacteria, which is great. His EC test also came back negative. His CT was fairly normal aside from some heart abnormalities. It's hard for us to know if these abnormalities are congenital or if they were caused by the syphilis. There's no documentation of syphilis causing cardiovascular, nervous system, and neurological issues in rabbits, but syphilis can cause these issues in humans. We have no reason to believe it couldn't have the same effect on rabbits and believe syphilis is to blame. In humans, if tertiary syphilis is treated within a year of infection most make a full recovery. If extrapolating from that is appropriate, then we could assume Jude will make a full recovery. It's impossible to know that for sure, but his daily progress gives us hope.

If Jude does make a full recovery, we'll have to discuss what his heart issues mean for him being neutered and placed up for adoption, but we're taking things one day at a time. Thank you all for your donations and continued support 🫶🖤
