UPDATE: Bunny is a girl. Dr. Rana has amputated the leg and we're hoping for the best. Apex Animal Hospital
INCOMING ‼. Shit. Massive trigger warning for animal injury. A Rabbitats adopter wrangled this bunny away from someone downtown last night; the bunny is not ok. Thankfully the now-former guardian agreed to give the rabbit to our adopter because of the rabbit's “busted leg.”
The leg isn’t just hurt - it snapped in half. The bone is exposed and the tissue is necrotic. When we picked him/her up this morning, the smell filled the car. S/he has been suffering for god knows how long, eating through the pain, and dragging the ruined leg. (The original report thought that both legs had been broken, but it's just one).
This young rabbit is going into surgery right now. We were honestly expecting our vet to recommend euthanasia, but Dr Rana wants to try to amputate and save his/her life.
This is a baby, just a few months old, hasn’t even grown into his ears, and has already been failed.
If s/he makes it through this, we will not fail him or her again.
Please help us pay for this costly and hopefully life saving surgery. Our little Pochita. 💔

We got her! This elusive agouti has been traipsing around the Auto Mall for weeks. She’s quick, clever, and the reason for several late-night stakeouts. She’d happily come right up to sniff Deanna, then dart away.
Yesterday morning, Deanna called Peter the Hot Dog Guy to see if she was in the trap... and she was! Honestly, we think she was finally done toying with us and ready for her next adventure - flat on her belly and ready to go.
Off to sanctuary where she can join some pals (after her spay, of course). Thanks, Peter, and everyone who came out to catch this canny bun.

Incoming! Our friends at Fantastic Beasts Veterinary Services reached out to us about a dumped bunny found in rural Nanaimo. Meet Oatmeal.
Oatmeal was found alone and painfully skinny. Despite how humans have failed her, she remains as sweet as can be.
We're going to help her find the forever home she deserves, but first, we need to get her off the island. If you're travelling from Nanaimo to the Lower Mainland and can help transport her, we'd love to hear from you.
If transport isn't possible, we're also looking for a loving Vancouver Island foster home where Oatmeal can safely gain weight before her spay. We'd be endlessly grateful.
If you can help Oatmeal, please email info@rabbitats.org
