I have some sad news. 
No, it's not my boys, they're fine, but it's another rabbit.
A few days ago I found a black lop in my yard that looked to be inrough shape. Well, seeing as how I could tell she wasn't wild, Imanaged to trap her in one of the runs when she went in to explore.Then I sat down and waited until she came to me, well she was in worseshape than I anticipated. Chunks of fur were missing, she was terrifiedof people, had what looked like bite marks on her back, scabs on herbody, dandruff,and covered in mites (I didn't know that untilshelet me get really close to her). Well I took it uponmyself to take her to the vet. It was confirmed what I already knew,she had GI Statis, mites, and sore hocks.
Well my computer was being a pain and not letting me post or sign oneven, so I just read what Carolyn went through with Tucker andattempted to treat her myself since the vet basically told me there'snothing we can do for her except pray that whatever is blocking hersystem, comes out. She just got worse yesterday, I'd go in to attemptto treat her and she'd run away but was in obvious pain as she wasscreaming fit to kill when she moved. I really only had 2 options, lether suffer and attempt to bond with her where the outcome would nodoubt be death, or treat her by force, and if she made it, then attemptto bond with her. Unfortunately, she died yesterday evening. I went outto give some pineapple juice and she she had a seizure in my arms.Seeing as how she was so afraid of people, I put her on the ground asafe distance away from everything and left her be, I came back in tofind her lifeless body.
I went back inside, sad that I didn't try harder, but went back outsideto feed my boys and caught a glimpse of something lighter squirming.She was pregnant and had given birth to a baby. I brought the littleguy (I don't know if it's a guy obviously) and put him in a makeshiftnest, and make a homemade formula for him in an attempt to save him.
Well I had this nagging feeling to go back out and look for others, soI did, and I came across 3 more babies, one was dead and the other 2were cold. I brought the 2 that were alive in and attempted to warmthem slowly as if not to shock them, and then tried to feed them. Oneof the kits died last night after I brought it in, and I woke up toanother dead this morning. There's only one left now and I don't thinkhe's doing very well.
I'm just so down about Nemesis (I named her that because it means thegood are rewarded and the bad are punished in a hope that who ever wascruel to her, is punished) dying and now her kits, and I'm kind ofthinking there may be more bunnies around like her that are beingmistreated. :?
That's it for the update on my interesting last few days. I'll touch base later.
