I miss you very much Rupert and I find coming here to talk to you, is both helpful and very very sad. I hope you are so happy and free to just run and run without a sore leg.

Hello darling... I lost you so suddenly but to be fair it was after a brief but harrowing fight for your life, that you peacefully passed. You fought very hard, a small but sturdy little bun who's favourite pass time was to leap slowly through long grass, gazing around, safe in your pen. You...

I feel very lonely today, I miss him so much, I miss looking after him, I went to get him yesterday because I wanted to bring him home, he is nicely wrapped in a beautiful blanket and waiting for me to bury him, I can't quite bring myself to do it just yet but I might later on. Very sad now...

a major blood vessel supplying the thigh muscle shut down causing the muscle to collapse and fail to heal properly. I said no to amputation of his back leg. This was a choice that was hard to make. RIP little man, you were the best behaved, best little character, so funny to watch , so...

Rupert passed peacefully and painlessly at 1.02pm my time. Rupert is gone, my little man fought very very hard. We are all in shock.

RUPERT HAS BEEN RUSHED INTO EMERGENCY SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had an awful night with him, his wound changed from its usual smell to a sickly sweet smell I know all too well....GANGRENE! The change was subtle, he was still eating but I just knew it was a bad smell, the cleaning was...

Nice sunny day, Rupert is outside in his outdoor pen for the first time in ages, he is eating dandelion flowers and enjoying the sun and a breeze. Wound had to be massaged this morning to stimulate blood flow and expel dead tissue and to keep the hole open. Its not nice to do but gentle...

Hi Wing is the old fella we got a few weeks ago and his story is different from Casey but don't worry for getting confused...lol...I do!!!!! :) Unfortunately where she was found, there really was no grass for miles, she was found near an underground road that leads into a mall complex...

pressed for time, have lots to do so a quick update, we are still on standby, wound healing VERY VERY well and vet was enthusiastic about Rupert's recovery. Not out of the woods yet, between now and Sunday we are waiting to see how the healing goes, how Rupert is etc etc So good news so...

Just got back from vets, extremely busy with Rupert and have to post for him too, so will make this brief; The good: She will make a fine recovery The bad but recoverable: Mastitis a few weeks into it, obvious signs of having given birth but possibly not too recently(Pipp was right)badly...

Hi Pipp :hug: I did not go through my whole process of care for her, I definitely suspect mastitis though ( teats not very swollen and not blue, actually shrunken except for one), the fluid infusion was pretty much to save her, her condition was so bad that she did not move when put down, very...

I have just been handed a skinny little rabbit, looks like possibly a minilop although could be a lop if she filled out a bit, she is so skinny that her spine is visible as lumps on her back as she has had some loss of fur. Man, this poor lass is not even hungry. I am not asking for advice...

Thank you so much, keeping him warm with a hot water bottle which he can choose to nestle against or move away from, he just loves it, he starts mooching over it as soon as it is refilled and tries to get as close as he can to the heat. Just had a new rescue handed in, literally skin and...

Rupert is actually responding really well to the metacam although I dearly wish I could get something stronger for him. he had his flush and I was concerned to see good healthy pink tissue closing in around and over dead tissue!!! I pulled back the healthy tissue a tiny tiny bit and used a blunt...

oh dear Rupert is very down this morning and grinding his teeth in pain, have just given him his next lot of painkillers, metacam only as there are no opiates/narcotics. He is miserable, perhaps it won't be a bad day all day but he does need another wound flush soon as the smell and oozing is...

:inlove: Sending love to Jim and Chippy at this time and hope all your days are spent living life to the fullest, Chippy is so lucky to have you Jim :)

Rupert is comfortable and as it is evening now, I may head off for some much needed sleep. He is very quiet and a obviously depressed over his ordeal. Tomorrow I will get out a few distractions for him, music, grapes in his water dish, lots of cuddles on his head, he loves that and maybe a 5...

Rupert is being given a boost of penicillin and continuing n the Baytril, his wound is pink, (excellent), in the middle and the dead blackened tissue is slowly pulling away, I reopened a tiny portion of the abscess, as gently as possible as underneath the pink outer was a thin layer of resistant...

wow, I am so pleased with so much response for Rupert, I am just reading through all the posts now, talking my vet and YES we have penicillin on the way from a bird sanctuary!!!!! :) Dosages, timing for injections, the previous baytril in consideration, the combination if 2 antibiotics in...

scrolling for sensitive content (photo of abscess) s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s here are some photos of Rupert, he is very camera shy and not very happy about it all and passes on his disdain! The photo of his abscess is very unclear an does not give a good idea of it...
