Beau's Story
Pellets: 1x/day 1/4 cup Adult Oxbow Essentials (AM)<br/>Hay: Unlimited mixed hay (All day)<br/>Salad: 1x/day 1 cup spring mix, romaine lettuce, cilantro, parsley (PM)<br/><br/>Beau arrived at our shelter on a rainy afternoon, brought in a laundry basket by a young couple who claimed they had found him and another rabbit, Scout, on the side of the freeway. They insisted they would "put them back out" if we didn't take them-so of course, we couldn't turn him away. As we got him settled, we noticed significant nasal discharge. After a veterinary exam, we learned that Beau has a chronic, antibiotic-resistant respiratory infection (Pseudomonas).<br/><br/>Because his infection is resistant, he will need ongoing nebulizer treatments to keep his breathing comfortable, and he must be housed as a single rabbit for everyone's safety. Beau also occasionally develops mild eye weepiness, which is easily managed with routine cleanings and drops when needed.<br/><br/>Despite his medical challenges, Beau is truly an incredible guy. He takes his treatments like a champ, stays cheerful, and has plenty of energy to spare. In his foster home, he zooms around happily and thumps proudly-his own way of announcing himself.<br/><br/>Beau is seeking a dedicated, compassionate adopter who can continue his care and give him the loving, stable home he deserves. Beau is such a clean bunny! His foster home has noted that he has remarkable litterbox habits. What a polite little guy! If you're looking for a spirited, affectionate companion and are ready to support a special-needs rabbit, Beau will reward you with endless personality and love.<br/><br/>Neutered<br/><br/>Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. The virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit. Please make sure to vaccinate your rabbits every year. For more information, please visit our website at: https://sandiegorabbits.org/education/rhdv
