Jason has been referred to Rutland for a CT scan 😣 Ben thinks it’s likely something behind the eye pushing it - tumour, abscess, mass. We absolutely knew this was not as simple as an infection and I think this goes to show how important it is to see a rabbit savvy vet! Rabbits are constantly misdiagnosed due to vet professionals not knowing enough on exotics medicine. It’s quite frightening.

For all of you whom may not know much of Jason’s history, I think this is a good opportunity to reintroduce him. Jason (speckle) came to us earlier in the year with spot. They were originally rescues by bunny angels after they were altered to the pair living inside a blanket box!!! This was beyond cruelty. We lost our dear little spot a few months ago, despite having an autopsy the cause of death couldn’t be determined. This absolutely broke our hearts beyond. Spot had a condition called megacolon. Jason has suffered with eye problems from the start. While with bunny angels, he underwent surgery to correct entropion and has had the inside of the eye lids epilated due to hairs growing on the inner eyelids directly towards his eye. Spot and Jason’s integrated into a quad with my rabbits, Ned and Matilda, they were later joined by honey and nibbles to for a 6. Being in a larger group was very beneficial to Jason after the death of his companion spot, and he has continued to thrive. Until now 😞. We’re absolutely gutted and this is the 3rd of our sanctuary rabbits, in the last 3 months, that require a CT scan. At £1000 per scan, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to sustain. I’m going to ask the impossible again, and I’m sorry but I have no choice, please do help us squabble together some money for Jason’s urgent CT.

Todays bill was just over £1,000.
