Our 4 bun

[Martina]

Well the first bun is Peter. We got him and his brother onAugust 26, 2004 when they were about 3/4 months old. My sister's friend had just left our house and then came running back in yelling there are bunnies on the road, so we went out side to see two buns in a driveway, so I went and got the kennel while my sister, her friend and my mom were herding them up. Well long story short(er) we caught them, mysister's friend took Peter's bro home and we kept Peter.

Here is Peter soon after we got him...

A while later (about a year)we decide to foster for the SPCA and we got a reply from Small Animal Rescue Society of British Columbia (SARS) Soin Junewe got Raven a blackMini-lop mix and Ollie a English Spot Holland Lop mix. They bothcame from a big rescue where there was 28 adults and 54 babiesOllie was the only female that was not pregnant, so they have about80 relatives.Then way to soon (July)Raven got Adopted and we were sad but we got another one to take her place Puddin' another Mini-Lop mix she came from a local SPCA then SARS got them, she came in with her two brothers and her sister.

Well after a couple of months and putting off Peter's neuter, wefinally had him fixed this December. After he recovered we started bonding and we decided Puddin' liked him better then Ollie liked him, so we bonded them, It went really smoothly and now they are very happy together in their NIC condo.

you can see his tongue

More again...

Well since PooPoo and PeePee are bonded we felt bad for Ollie being left out so on Feb. 12 last week, We got Lucas he has a sad story so here it is copy and pasted from SARS...

Lucas came to us as he was recently surrendered to a local shelter. He was brought into them because a woman had seen him being shaken by a dog. Thankfully she was able to scare the dog off and scoop up Lucas.
We can’t imagine the terror the poor guy felt. We are just so glad that he made it out alive. The poor guy….when we first saw him we noticed that he had a funny limp, a few scratches and some sort of membrane covering his eyes. We weren’t sure initially if he was blind or not.


When we took Lucas into the vet it was discovered that he has what is known as persistent papillary membrane. The vet felt he can probably see a bit and has had this condition since birth. Can you imagine, the poor Lucas having to live out in the wild, alone and unable to see properly? It’s amazing that he had even survived at all as the area he was found in was highly wooded. In addition to his eye problems, he also has some sort of neurogenic condition that is causing the weakness in his back leg. The limp could have been caused by an injury to his back while being shaken by the dog. At this point, we are just waiting to see if it will resolve itself.


Today Lucas is doing well. He gets around well and eats up a storm. He needs a quiet approach and someone gentle as he can easily be startled if he cannot see you. We are giving him time to rest & recuperate before he will be neutered. Once he has been neutered, he will join the rest of the bunnies and will be available for adoption. If he doesn’t find a new home, he is welcome to stay with us


He’s such a wonderful guy... we just love him!!

Ithas been only a week so we don't expect instant bonding but Ollie has somebug attitude so it will take a whilebut that's ok.Here are some more Ollie pics and Lucas...

Very sad update on Lucas...This is what happened today around 3:13, I came downstairswhere the animals are (in the living room) he was the first one Ilooked at in his cage and I could tell something was really wrong. Hewas just laying there in his litter box with his head back and his earsticking out of the cage and he was gasping for air, so I took him outright away and tried to make it easier for him to breath, then I calledmy family franticly but only my dad was available to get the phone, soI asked if he could take us to the vet right away but he was picking upmy sister from work so would be a while and would drive home as fast ashe can, well near the end of the call Lucas started twitching his frontlegs, then he stopped moving and breathing and he was gone. I couldn'tbelieve it, I tried to make him breath again but he wouldn't. I heldhim for about two hours until everyone was home, I didn't know whatelse to do.

I just can not believe he is gone. Everyone is saying at leasthe didn't die all alone or on a cold vet table but I feel horrible thathe died right in my arms. I can't stop bawling and I feel horriblyguilty. He was still eating last night and seemed happy with theattention. He had a vet appointment later in the day but didn't makeit. He had a sore near his eye that the vet thought was from Ollie whenthey met, but I doubt it...he had medicine for that and then the vetwanted to see him today to see him for lumps under his chin and to seeif that is caused by the histeeth

He was the *best* bunny I have ever heard of, ever had, he waseverything great you could want in a rabbit... except for his poorhealth. I can't believe he is gone, I miss him so much already. I don'tknow what else to say... there is *nothing* in the world bad about himhe was just the greatest bunny ever, He was truly an angel

 

[LuvaBun]

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about Lucas. Howawful for you. I know it won't make you feel better, but at least Lucasknew love and happiness with you and your family, which was a blessingafter such a horrible start. He will be waiting at the Bridge for you!

How are the rest of your babies doing?

[naturestee]

I am so sorry that you lost Lucas. I hope everyone else is doing okay.

Do you know the story of the Rainbow Bridge? We have a thread that talks about it and where we remember our lost ones.
