A note from Linda, our President...

To let you know............
A note from Linda, our President...

Salty our big Gray Giant Chinchilla Breed Bunny died last night though we tried hard to save her. A necropsy done today showed that Salty died of bowel impaction and renal failure brought on by a bizarre complication of her spay back on November 5th. She developed adhesions that encircled both the bowl and one ureter shutting both off which put her into renal failure and obstructed her bowel. It was a very odd complication that could in no way have been predicted or prevented. The only way to save her would have been surgery some time ago before the symptoms appeared. So nature took it's course as hard as we tried to prevent that from happening. Thanks to Dr Fahy of South Wilton for doing a no charge necropsy to help us all learn what happened. Salty had been bonded last week so she leaves behind a very sad little black bunny who we will be rebonding as soon as possible.
