Hoppy Thanksgiving!

MUST-SEE HAPPY VIDEO!  ^_^ RESCUED: Day One  <3https://www.facebook.com/BunnyWorldFoundation/videos/1611024825602600/

Historically, Thanksgiving began as a tradition to give thanks for a good harvest and to rejoice together with the rest of the community after much arduous work. What better time to celebrate our NINE-and-a-half-year voyage and give thanks to ALL who have contributed to our Mission.  

Especially, we thank each foster, volunteer, and supporter here who has contributed their time, energy and commitment to BWF. It takes a community to move mountains and without all of us doing our parts we couldn't even make a dent. Thank you for showing your support through thick and thin and especially during times of crisis, for we couldn't possibly overcome them if it weren't for YOU!

Now, as bunny loving families across America sit down to full dinner tables with their pet bunnies enjoying all the privileges of a family member, it's more important than ever to remember million others suffering in bunny mills, labs, backyard breeders, fur farms, and abattoirs. Most people would be unaware that most animal cruelty laws exempt farm animals and rabbits are not even covered under federal humane slaughter laws -- so their lives and deaths for our holiday celebration are unconscionably painful. This said, the road is still rocky with many challenges ahead, but continue we must and we thank you for your continued support in our efforts to make the world a better place for our much-loved companions.

If you would like to do give a special gift for this Thanksgiving holiday, please remember that on Monday alone, TWELVE buns were seen by various BWF Vet partners; 3 bunnies having been pulled from euthanasia the day before. These bunnies face many more costly challenges, so please follow their story of rescue, share, and give from your hearts what you are able to.

PAST-DUE VET BILL EMERGENCY

BUNNIES ON THE LINE! Reports of injuries and desperation have the BWF phone line tied up... but the till is empty and the bill collector is at the door. We have 48 hours to make good with our top notch animal hospital and resume life-saving measures for bunny victims of abuse and neglect. A haven cannot have a closed door, dear friends... everything is riding on your kindness.

YOU CAN DONATE ANY AMOUNT. NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL! http://www.bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate/

A HOSPITALIZED AMPUTEE, VICTOR, NEEDS HELP!

This year was nothing but broken limbs for BWF.  There was Buttons, Honey, Garry, Bokchoy, Samson, Little Spunky, Duncan, Gwynevere, and NOW Victor.  We couldn’t leave him behind.

On Wednesday July 19, 2017, we got a call from the Vet at North Central Shelter (LAAS) about a rabbit that was dumped with a broken leg (compound fracture) dangling WITH BONE STICKING OUT.  They asked us if BWF would rescue him or else they would put him down.  They gave us TWO hours.  We were there!  Our transporter took him directly to Northwood Animal Hospital where he was stabilized and examined by Dr. Roberts.   We were told that nothing but amputation would save Vicor’s life and we gave our blessing. Yesterday, Thursday, July 20, 2017, Dr. Hsu amputated his leg and got him neutered in the process. He’s been hospitalized since and the funds are needed to cover his Vet Bill. (Attached)

VICTOR is undergoing the post-surgery treatment but will be able to go home on Monday. WE NEED FOSTER WILLING TO WORK WITH A DISABLED BUNNY – A TRIPOD!  IF YOU CAN HELP, PLEASE E-MAIL US at info@bunnyworldfoudation.org.

Dr. Hsu says: “Victor is doing well after his neuter surgery and left back leg mid femur amputation. He is resting comfortably post-op. His pre-anesthesia bloodwork indicates some blood loss (borderline anemia with mildly decreased platelets) most likely secondary from his broken leg injury.  The procedures went well. We are starting him on oral enrofloxacin, injectable penicillin and oral metacam. His ears were crusty inside. I am concern that he has ear mites and am planning on putting him on revolution starting next week once his incisions are closed.” 😊

BWF needs $2,000 to cover Radiology, Neuter & Amputation Surgery, Recheck Films, Hospitalization, Culture & Sensitivity, and Medication.  If you’re able to donate towards VICTOR, please call our vet directly or donate via Paypal to info@bunnyworldfoundation.org.

For donations, less than $100, you can make an ON-LINE DONATION via PAYPAL at info@bunnyworldfoundation.org or at http://www.bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate/

DIRECT DONATIONS TO THE VET ARE THE MOST APPRECIATED. If you can help now, please call Northwood Animal Hospital at (949) 559-1992 and make a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation towards Victor’s hoy’s Medical bill.  The vet only accepts $100+ donations.

Please remember, BWF is an ALL-VOLUNTEER, NON-PROFIT 501(c)3 animal welfare organization with 300+ volunteers/fosters working around the clock to save lives of babies and adults alike. Every week we take bunnies from the death row from LAAS and other situations. Our volunteers are funding the care of their own fosters, providing supplies, and often paying for the surgeries and medical bills. BWF has no paid staff, and with our limited resources we are doing our very best to help the little ones. But our VET BILLS are piling up and we need your help TODAY! 

Finally, please CONSIDER DONATING MONTHLY even if it’s just a few dollars. http://www.bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate/

Thank you so much! ~BWF Rescue Team

GWYNEVERE: PELVIC BONE BROKEN, LUXATED HIP, AND NECROTIC TAIL!

LOS ANGELES: Has someone put this girl in a blender, or what?  The vet assumes that she was run over by a car. Poor soul, SHE NEEDS FEMORAL HEAD EXCISION SURGERY!

Gwynevere was medically alerted at Vest Valley animal shelter.  Dr. Feldman himself called Bunny World Foundation​ giving us an opportunity to save her before she was euthanized.  SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WIHT NECROTIC TAIL, LUXATED HIP, AND PELVIC BONE BROKEN IN TWO PLACES!  

On May 26, 2017, Bunny World Foundation pulled Gwynevere and rushed her to our Vet for exam and evaluation.

 

Attached please find the LAAS records, Estimate from Northwood Animal Hospital and Dr. Roberts’s Assessment. The estimate for Surgery – Femoral Head Excision is posted in the album.  The amount needed for surgery is $1,532.31 

Dr. Robert’s diagnosis on May 31st is the following: “Gwynevere I examined today. She's doing way better than her radiographs would indicate. She has fracture to her pelvis, but also a sacro-iliac luxation on the right side. Those usually require surgery, but she's doing great, so she won't need that stabilized. Her left hip luxation requires a femoral head excision to make her more comfortable long term, but I would wait until her pelvis is completely healed and she's normal on the right hind, so she can support herself better during the recovery period.”

We're ready to move with her surgery as soon as the funds are collected. As always, you can donate to Northwood directly. Donations of $100+ only:
