Bunbun is a very good girl

I'm sure we didn't expect a guest bunny so soon. But let me introduce you to bunbun

This brave and very tiny girl belongs to my friend who noticed strange bloating on her rabbit. One intense surgery to remove a uterus full of pus later and this brave old lady survived. I will be caring for her post op care so she's gonna be with me for a while!

She's day two post op, wobby as hell from the anesthesia and pain meds, and yet still mischievous enough to plot her grand escape (before swiftly falling asleep by the door)

Brave BunBun is not out of the water yet and I'm waiting on tissue culture and bacterial culture results to see what the hell in the world did her uterus like that but for now, I'm glad she made it and we didn't have to put her down without giving her a chance to live.

Update on bunbun!

I've been busy caring for this sweet 7 year old girl so my usual content was a bit slow. She's about 10 days post op now from having a very enlarged uterus full of liquid and necrotic tissue removed. We ran some tests on her and found it was not a bacterial infection which is what we hoped, but rather a uterine cancer. The good news is it doesn't appear to have spread anywhere else at all, and her recovery is stellar, with everything having been removed just in time (the surgery was critical bc this thing was so full there was high danger of it bursting in the body). It was a stressful surgery because prey animals especially might stress to death when put under and may not survive the surgery. So it was risk the surgery, put her down, or risk the uterus bursting and taking her little life. Thankfully she beat the odds.

I will interject to say this rabbit was not spayed. It is EXTREMELY important to fix your rabbits because fixing them decreases the risk of cancer. 70-80% of rabbits that are unspayed develop cancer after 3 years old and it is hard on their little bodies. Cases like bunbun don't always end well, and even with all this cancer can return, so please please fix your pets. Better to spend the money to be responsible than risk the high chance of expensive hospital bills and more importantly, a very sick friend later on.

She was extremely boney and skinny before, and now is plumping up and being more active and i got to see many flops and binkies (her owners were delighted to hear this because she evidently rarely binkies). Who knows how long that dreadful cancer was sapping her sunshine away. She will be going back to her owners soon to hopefully live a few more happy years!
