Rabbit Rescue, Control & Management

These past couple of weeks have brought some serious medical costs. Between emergency appointments, ongoing treatments, our spay/neuter clinic, and hundreds of RHD vaccine boosters (227 given at the shelter in one day alone!!), the bills have piled up fast.

Hoskins was one of many bunnies treated in last week’s carrier lineup. He was dumped in North Vancouver two years ago, a discarded Easter gift. When we found him, his little body was crushed. He’s been through so much in his time with us and is deeply loved by his forever family.

After surviving months of carrier rest while his bones set and healed (as a hormonal juvenile, nonetheless!), we thought he was in the clear. But the little guy can’t catch a break.

He previously had an abscess in his mouth that turned out to be caused by a broken tooth root, and while recovering from that, he developed a huge abscess under his chin. We’re currently doing daily flushing and repacking of gauze in his throat abscess site, along with penicillin shots.

He has a BAD infection, x-rays showing infection right down to the bone. But Dr. Rana has given him a promising prognosis. 🤞

Anyone who meets Hoskins chilling at Cozy Carrots falls in love with him. He’s worth every treatment and every minute spent on his care.

We have several other little friends who saw the vet last week, too: suture and staple removals for both Salt and Truffle, a lump checked on senior Henry, and both Kieran and a little grey boy needing eye repair surgery.

There have already been more appointments since, with even more scheduled.

Help us raise funds so we can continue paying for complex medical treatments and take in future rescues. There are many bunnies who need help right now, but our current residents come first. 🤍
