Lucky Blue's Blues....
Email Article | Saturday, May 23, 2020 
Please visit bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate to help this little one -- 'Lucky Blue' found himself at East Valley Animal Shelter (LAAS) - Discarded like garbage. Upon seeing his pained but sweet face on the Blue-Alert list, we contacted Animal Control inquiring about his injuries.
Medical records read:
- Rabbit has purulent discharge inside left ear canal.
- Left ear has puncture wound with caseous discharge that can be squeezed from hole.
- Left ear is crinkled.
- Left eye - can not visualize globe.
- Hard swelling below left mandible.
- R/O pasteurella infection - "lumpy jaw"
We didn't wait -- Sat. May 9, our volunteer rushed to the shelter, grabbed 'Lucky Blue' and took him to BWF temporary foster where this poor soul received loving before being taken to our Vet, where he was prepped for the immediate surgery!
On May 15, Dr. Roberts wrote: "I attached some photos of Lucky Blue after his enucleation, ear surgery, and jaw abscess treatment. He is doing very well, and he is such a good-natured and friendly bunny, my entire staff is in love with him.
Since he turned blue on us and tried to die as we were working on his jaw abscess, and we had to revive him in a hurry, we may need to do more with that abscess at a later date. He also still needs to be neutered.
He has stitches in his ear that will need to be removed in 3-4 weeks, and he is on antibiotics - (oral enrofloxacin and injectable Pen-BP), and metacam, and gets Silver Sulfadiazine Cream on his ear once daily.
So far, his expenses are at approximately $1,600. He could go home tomorrow if you can arrange transport and have a foster available to take special care of this very special bunny."
With our Veterinary debt at $14,000- we are struggling to cover Lucky Blue's invoice. If you'd like to call Northwood Animal Hospital directly and make a donation toward our medical bill, they accept call-in donations of $100 or more at (949) 559-1992. For any amount of aid, please click on: bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate for PayPal service -- any amount counts <3
WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO FOSTER 'LUCKY BLUE' - someone with time, experience, and healing hands. If you're THAT person, email BWF ASAP at info@bunnyworldfoundation.org.
Thank you for being there for 'Lucky Blue' and other LUCKY BUNNIES in our care!
