I hope you don't mind cross-posting. I've already distributed this to a lot of Yahoo groups but need to spread the net wide

Hi Everyone,
I do not post much, have been very busy with a head tilt bunny. Since Lindsey became ill again, I have been bringing her out to the main part of the house to medicate and syringe feed her. And it has thrown Michelle over the edge health-wise. We have 3 rabbits, and Michelle's allergies have reached a danger point. Her doctor said she has to get rid of the rabbits, she just went thru a severe bought with her asthma and is very ill. She is diabetic and her doc said the steroids needed to treat her asthma put her at higher risk. They are sending her to a cardio-pulmonary specialist now. We have had Hannah for 7 years, and Grace and Lindsey for about a year. It is KILLING us to have to let them go. I am posting general info on them and Ros from On The Wonk rabbit list is cross posting to a bunch o other rabbit lists as well. I do have someone who is willing to foster Lindsey, but I hate to see our other 2 babies go to a rescue. If anyone is interested in giving our furries a loving forever home as an inside house rabbit, please contact me privately at sshalimar16@...
I have the flu right now so am not online a lot each day but I will check at least once a day. I live in Puyallup, Washington, 45 miles south of Seattle. Below you will find some informatio on each rabbit. Pictures are available upon request.
Thanks so much,
Laura Ledet
