Diabetic cats and sick bunnies

Well, we endeavored to help out 2 diabetic cats a couple of weeks ago, which we raised well over $1,000 to do (we have now got it covered) and Linda is deep into it and going strong. See, we don't do cats, we are basically a small animal shelter, so all this through us for a loop and became a lot more complicated than anticipated. There are 2 female cats, Snowball (11) and Hilda (14) who has no teeth. Both are just as sweet as can be and were destined for euthanasia if something wasn't done. We have a home for one, definitely, and are hoping our call in from Mass will lead to a permanent home for the other. We are willing to supply the first 3 months of needles and insulin, than they become their new owners responsibility. Linda has a major house full of rabbits right now, quite a few on meds every day including Blossom and Gracie, both with wrapped legs from bone infections, and poor Blossom is wearing a collar now since she's been trying to chew her own leg off. Things with Joy have been touch and go as to whether her leg will be amputated or not and it looks like it's going to come off this week. She has internal abscesses in her leg that will affect her life if not taken care of and it seems to be going beyond the realm of being fixed with antibiotics (Baytril, Zith and Pen G have all been or are still being used). Pieper Bunny had her spay this week and when they removed her uterus, I'm am so not kidding when I say that the cancer in it was the size of another dwarf rabbit. It had to weigh in about 3-4 lbs. It's on my counter, seriously, I'll see if I can blog a picture for educational purposes on WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR RABBITS ALTERED!!!

I am still waiting to hear from BPT AC on whether they have trapped anymore of the rabbits running loose outside on their property (and Westlund Auto Body's), I don't want anymore rabbits here (I'm almost out of my first trimester now - again) but am set up to take them in.

We have a male chin that just came in, sweet as can be named Tango, and a female that may be coming in this week as well. We also still have Blackie and Jackie up for adoption. Again, I'll see what I can do to get some pictures uploaded!

Working on a triple bonding with Alison's Flash, Kali and Sam this week! Triple bonds are hard, but it seems to be going well. I will keep them for at least another week to make sure all is well, and will be doing a bonding with 2 of Mandy's (Cottontail Rabbit Rescue) bunnies this coming week too! One is a three legged flemish I have been dying to meet since she got her!

Ok, I'm sure there is more but I can't think of it now! Have a nice weekend! Brandee
