Splotch the wonder rabbit
A few months ago, we found two rabbits abandoned on the verge outside of our block of apartments. We caught them and stuck them in the bathroom for the night.
The next day I attempted to track down a shelter that would take them. Most places wouldn't - they were only interested in Dogs first, cats second.. and no other companion animals.
It took me two weeks to find a no-kill shelter that would take them. I informed the local pound, but nobody claimed them.
Now alot happens in two weeks. Animals get named, and this is a VERY bad idea! I took them to the vet in the hopes that getting them neutered, vaccinations done etc. would help increase their chances of getting a new home. It was expensive, over $400.
The little boy rabbit has a mallocluded jaw which had left him with a mouth abcess, and trouble eating. The vet thought that it was probably too late, and suggested putting him down. She said that even if he did pull through, he would be difficut to rehome because shelters didnt like taking animals with known health problems.
I asked her to try. She did, and he pulled through!!
Bunny loves celery leaves!
He is house trained and uses a litter tray. He's a dwarf lop and weighs in at only 1.8kg. He is most active in the morning and at night. This is when wild rabbits normally feed, and works well with us as working people as he is most active when we are home and sleeps through the day.
He's a delight.
Now I know that this has absloutely nothing to do with migraines. But I can say that he has lifted my spirits immensely. He's given me something to focus on outside myself, and when I'm in pain, there's nothing like patting a soft bunny. He comes and sits on the bed with me when I'm not well.
He's my bunny angel!
