I recently stumbled across an add for someone giving away an 8 week bunny for meat because one of its eyes never opened and the rabbit is assumed to be blind. I am thinking about attempting to take this bunny in, and I know that it may end sadly, but I feel like I should at least try.
Does anyone have any advise to offer? Any ideas why the eye might not have opened? Infection in the eyes, or perhaps a birth defect? Can a rabbit live comfortably if it is unable to see? I sent an email saying that as long as the rabbit is currently eating and drinking I will take it.
I haven't posted here in a little while, but nearly a month ago I lost my beautiful Rex boy to a sudden and unexplained cause. I came home to find he had already passed and I've been heartbroken ever since. I feel horrible about it. Part of me feels like having the opportunity to help another rabbit, and possibly nurse it to health could really help me feel better. At least I could give the little bunny a nice warm and loving home for its final days.
Ps. Sorry for the typo in the title. I'm on my cellphone.
