FinninOhio needs a home and/or donations. She is a special needs bunny and soso cute. I was considering adopting her but batman isnt fixed yet& i dont know how he would react to another bunny period (ivebeen reconsidering getting him a girlfriend once hes fixed). Click onher name (bold in blue at the beginning of the post) for moreinfo.
 
Awwwwwww! The rabbit is soooooooooo cute, it's ashame i live in England. Warms your heart to see such a cute rabbit,who cares about its legs it's still an adorable rabbit. :D
 
i know! poor little thing...she is socute though!when i get my next paycheck, im going to send theshelter a check to go towards her operation. lol, if i could get her toengland, id get her here first! i keep thinking, well maybe icould drive out there...maybe she could just be in aseperate cage...i just dont know if id be able to give her all of thetime that she needs-or if id have the funding for her needs.*sigh...*
 
Well i think it could work. You could rotate andgive each rabbit turns outside the cage. My rabbits do fine and i havea boy and a girl. they live in seperate cages and go out in the gardenat seperate times. And when they are outside together Fidget followsebs round the garden but she doestn want to no. What do you think??pweeeeeeese??

Dear Jenn, Christine, and Batman,

Thank you for keeping little Finn in your thoughts. I thought you might
like a little update on how she’s doing.

The surgery on Finn’s right foot did not go as well as we had hoped. The
bones in her leg were much too brittle and some of the bones shattered
during the surgery.

That would’ve been fine if her other leg had remained “normal”, however,
soon after the surgery, the left leg, as it was continuing to develop and
grow, became twisted just as badly as the right leg – not good since we
were hoping she’d be able to put most of her weight on the left leg.

Her vet feels that the only way she will be able to get around
sufficiently, without further damaging the right leg, is to amputate her
entire right leg and to get her a custom-built cart with wheels. They make
carts for dogs, cats, and other animals, and it enables them to get around
when they can’t use their back legs.

Our next step is to look into the wheeled carts and then most likely have
her right leg amputated. Our vet feels that this is her only chance at
having an acceptable quality of life.

Finn has a family that is willing to adopt her and bond her to 2 bunny
friends. We are taking things week by week to see if it will be possible
for the family, who is very dedicated to rabbits, to take care of her.

We hope to do more regular updates on the website in the future so people
can learn about Finn’s progress. Thank you again for your letter and
donation. Finn’s veterinary care would not be possible without
contributions such as yours.

Sincerely,

Kristen Doherty

I have a friend who has a special needs bun with acart and she is as normal and happy as can be. In fact she is hell onwheels and does get on very well. She had this bun for 8 years and shewas disabled at about 3 when adopted.
