Lucy unfortunately has a very familiar story

Please spay and neuter your rabbits. Over 80% of unspayed female rabbits will develop cancer in their lifetime. It is an essential part of basic health care for your bun. Yes, there is always a risk for any rabbit undergoing any procedure. That doesn’t mean we do nothing. Find yourself an excellent exotic vet and you minimize that risk. The alternative? Lucy’s situation - an abdomen filled with cancer. Anecdotally, I have never lost a rabbit to spay/neuter, and we have spayed and neutered young rabbits up to seniors and every age in between. Educate yourself. That is our responsibility to these beautiful creatures in our care.

Lucy is not out of the woods. Her cancer might have spread. She has inflammation making urinating more difficult. She’s pain controlled and on meds. We will care for her and love her no matter what lies ahead. Other buns are not so lucky.

Thank you for performing her life-saving surgery and providing her with excellent care, as always. We are grateful for you

May we all sleep as soundly as Chowder 🥰🐇
