Dorie's Story
<p>Dorie was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor Spring 2012. The vet said she was not in apparent pain and as long as she continued to eat normally, allow her to live out her life at the shelter. She was pulled from the adoptable list and became a shelter bun. She lavished treats, turned inside out for slices of apple and fresh greens and craved attention. In the past month she had begun slowing down as the abdominal tumor grew and we began watching for signs that she was suffering, but she was eating and greeting right up to the end. </p> <p>Dorie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 12/14/2012 and will be greatly missed.</p> <p> <hr /> </p> <p><span style='font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000080; font-size: 12pt;'>Dorie came through Animal Control. She is slender and moves quickly. She is learning litter box skills and eating hay is a good thing. She loves fresh greens and is quick to come to the condo door for attention.</span></p> <hr /> <p> </p> <p>All rabbits must have an adequate exercise area, whether it is a supervised exercise pen or an area in the house. It is recommended that the rabbit cage be cleaned out weekly and any old hay, pellets and bedding be removed every three days and special hutch disinfectants be used to prevent the spread of bacteria. Wet foods, such as greens, fruits and vegetables should be disposed of daily. Also, an earthenware food bowl and a drinking bottle will be required to feed and water the rabbit. The most important component of the rabbit's diet is hay, a roughage that reduces the chance of blockages and malocclusion whilst providing indigestible fiber necessary to keep the gut moving. Grass hays such as timothy are generally preferred. Lastly, always remember that your bunny needs to have some type of rabbit approved wooden chew toy, so that they may wear down their teeth to help prevent malocclusion issues. </p> <hr /> <p>IndyCLAW Rescue is founded on the premise of 'Creating Life-long Animal Welfare'. We do have an adoption contract and do home visits to ensure that this pet will be achieving a life-long home. There is also an adoption fee. Each rabbit is spayed / neutered prior to adoption and the adoption fee only partially reimburses our expenses in preparing your new pet. We do not ship our adoptable pets nor do we adopt to breeders or resellers.</p>
