Vira, the dutch-marked Flemish Giant we found dumped near the Richmond Auto Mall a year and a half ago, has had a reoccurring persistent infection in her foot for the past year leaving our vet no recourse but to do a partial amputation October 19. In spite of her unknown age, mild heart murmur and other problems, she came through the surgery just fine. Huge thanks to Dr. Joseph Martinez at the Little Paws Animal Hospital in Richmond, BC!
This article is going to be updated soon with all our new info, so we thought we'd put it up here as a refresher before that happens. :)
Is your bunny vaccinated?
Bunnies need a yearly RHD vaccine, protecting them from obtaining and spreading this deadly disease. The Bunny Cafe is hosting our clinic this coming Sunday, November 24 from 6:30-8:30.
Please note that this clinic is by appointment only. For an appointment, please fill out a form at rabbitats.org/vaccine
Help protect your buns (and the buns in your community!).
SICK BUNNY FUND -
We’re taking a sigh of relief – the 7 bunnies affected by that nasty-looking infection got their post-op checkups yesterday; they’re all recovering nicely. Thankfully, no further issues have popped up. 🩷Now for the vet bills. 🙃We’ve already wracked up another $4000 bill and it’s barely mid-month. So every dollar really counts!

Thank you in advance.
PS – We’ve seen a sudden resurgence from our resident “hater.” Lots of misinformation out there and frankly, it’s disheartening. But our bunnies are healing and that’s what is most important.
