With the RHD virus potentially in our area, there are few options for people who stumble upon sick rabbits. But turning down critically ill babies is beyond difficult, so we enlisted the help of a friend with biosecurity awareness, a huge heart and no rabbits of her own. Laura-Leah Shaw dropped everything she was doing to go pick up this little guy after Kevin from Kanata Blankets in Richmond called us about a street baby that wasn’t running away from him. It turns out he was suffering from injuries and a terrible case of flystrike. It’s apparent he was picked up by a bird and dropped on his face given the tell-tale talon marks — and the lack of front teeth. We have to give huge kudos to the Terra Nova Veterinary Clinic in west Richmond for seeing him so late and doing so much. (They’re a great clinic, we’ve always liked them). So far the little guy is hanging in there. He’s hungry and trying to eat, but that’s not working well given the lack of teeth. Deanna Hamm is heading over to Laura-Leah’s with some Critical Care and Wombaroo rabbit milk. Wish him luck!!

Urgent Sick Bunny Fund Call Out!
This poor abandoned bunny has now been rescued from the snow, but has a broken or dislocated leg and an eye infection and urgently needs to get to a vet! Our Sick Bunny Fund is at the lowest point in a year, if not our lowest point in history. We can't afford this without your help! Thanks so much to rescuer Kailey. ❤ We're closed for intake, without her this little girl or guy probably wouldn't have survived at all. :(

We need to get rabbits out of cages, or at least the cages into homes where they'll get some attention and lessen the load for our volunteers until we can move rabbits back outside. 🥶 Please spread the word! rabbitats.org/foster Questions? Email foster@rabbitats.org. ... See MoreSee Less
