    Oh gosh! I hope the vet can do something to save Bunny Buttons. I'll be keeping all of your family in my thoughts and prayers.

    Feel better Bunny Buttons, your family loves you so much!

    Oh no! Come on, Bunny Buttons, hang in there! Lisa, I have given bunnies Nutri-Cal in the past and it immediately perked one up that was looking like it was at death's door. It might be worth a try?

    Bunny Button is home!! They said he still has a chance he may not pull through and a couple of days will tell. He was dehydrated and had a horrible abscess inside his mouth. No wonder he wasn't eating!!! The vet feels it may be from a tooth but not quite sure. She sent him home with an another antibiotic to adminster just once a day.

    We took our drop trap for cats and placed him outside in the sun and grass hoping this will encourage a little grass eating. He did drink water!! She wants him caged for a few days and I do believe this is depressing him. Another reason we felt outside might help.

    I've got a picture of his poor abscess (will post later). They had to lance it from the outside and shave a portion of his face. $200 later lets hope this little guy pulls through!

    Come on Bunny Button....you can do it. You made it this far!!!!!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I am so sorry. After Sasvermont's Denver passed away I learnt that these respiratory things are really dangerous for bunnies. I hope Button will pull through.

    Poor Button Bunny Boy! An abcess is nothing to mess with, and as you said, no wonder he wasn't eating! Miss Hoppy suggest a nice juicy raisin or two might perk him up. (She gets three a day, as bunnies are not good at digesting sugar, so they say 1 ounce of fruit/raisin allowed per pound of rabbit per day!)
