We know it's hard to see a precious bunny like this, but please don't look away. We're very much hoping you'll help us with this dear boy who we're working hard to pull back from the brink...
Not only was Daniel forced to endure the trauma of a filthy bunny mill (see link below), but during his processing at North Central Shelter, he was caged with another hormonal male who attacked Daniel and inflicted terrible injuries, causing Daniel to then be euthanasia listed.
As soon as we got that news, we pulled Daniel and rushed him to Northwood Animal Hospital, and he's also been seen by Veterinary Eye Clinic Inc., and here are notes from both doctors:
--Severe inflammation in both eyes, including periocular areas, with erythema, oedema and purulent discharge. Left eye scabbing on dorsal palpebra. Also scabbing on dorsal right and dorsal left neck area, as well as on dorsal aspect of distal hind legs. Assessment - Conjunctivitis, possible corneal ulcer, excoriation/minor lacerations. Molar points. Clipped and cleaned around both eyes and areas of the body where there was scabbing.
--Corneal stromal abscess on the right eye. There is also a small punctate size corneal lesion on the left eye. There are eyelids defect on all four lids with necrotic changes. I am not certain of the cause. I would recommend an examination by a dermatologist.
📌Daniel was one of 69 bunnies we rescued with LAAS during a raid on a now-dismantled backyard bunny mill seen here:

--So far, we've taken in 50 of the 69 survivors; most of whom are nursing mothers with their infants, and many of whom are sick and/or injured....
🙏Obviously, the medical bills for Daniel and the others are daunting. It would be miraculous if someone would like to sponsor our Bunny Mill Rescue Mission... But donations of any size are sincerely wonderful. "Coffee Money" from enough folks can add up to make a big difference:

✊Here's the GREAT NEWS! One of our most amazing foster parents, MJ, has once again stepped up and is going to care for little Daniel during his rehabilitation ordeal, which involves the following protocol:
--Meloxicam (1.5mg/ml): Give 0.55cc every 12 hours for 7 days, then decrease to 0.42cc once daily.
--Enrofloxacin (100 mg/ml): Give 0.15cc by every 12 hours for 14 days.
--Ofloxacin (0.3% drops): Apply 2 drops to both eyes 4 times daily (approx. every 6 hours) for 2 weeks.
--Serum Drops: Apply 1 drop to the right eye 4 times daily (approx. every 6 hours).
--OptixCare Eye Lube: Apply 1 droplet to each eye 4 times daily (approx. every 6 hours).
🖐Daniel will be re-checked a number of times at Northwood, and we have every belief that he will emerge from this rough patch a whole new bunny ready to face his happy new life that we're planning for him!
‼️MJ is only able to foster Daniel until June, so we need to secure Daniel's continued TLC. If you would like to provide Daniel the loving care he desperately needs during his rehabilitation, please email us at: info@bunnyworldfoundation.org with subject: "I WILL LOVE DANIEL IN MY HOME" (We are in Los Angeles).
💗If you've read this far, we thank you so much for your kind attention and for caring about this sweet soul. Please consider helping us with him. BWF is an all-volunteer, 100% foster-based organization doing high-volume rescuing. But we can't do it without public support.
Much Love, THANK YOU... 🙏And please do share Daniel.
