Hank's Story
Ol' Hank has had quite the journey, I feel you hwat. He was brought to a local emergency clinic by his owner, with intent to euthanize. Although he was in pretty bad shape, the doctor explained that his ear mites and poor body condition were really very treatable! The surrendering party was not interested.<br/><br/>The clinic staff contacted Bunny Buddies, and asked if we could make space for him and we agreed, if they took custody immediately and made sure he was safely surrendered. We called our vet advisor, Dr. McNeil, and she personally retrieved him the very next day. <br/><br/>Despite being underweight, his feet and teeth looked good, so we gave him plenty to eat and set our sights on the real issue: perhaps the most severe case of mites we've ever seen. His ears were fully encrusted, and actually drooped due to the sheer weight of the heavy scabs and the infestation extended down the back of his neck, onto his shoulders and even around to his chest. Horrible. Painful. Preventable.<br/><br/>Properly housed indoors and given a clean, safe environment in which to heal, Hank recovered. The mites died-off with the help of medication and the infected skin scabbed over; chunks of old fur fell out as the new, healthy skin showed through. But would his fur grow back, would he be horribly scarred? Well prepare for a real glow-up: thick white hair grew back and he's a handsome boy again! <br/><br/>Hank has since been neutered and is now ready for a new home: one that will appreciate him, and keep him safe and clean. A fresh start, thanks to compassionate veterinary professionals that went above and beyond for their patient.<br/><br/>A typical Californian, Hank is mellow and loves to eat and lounge. He is affectionate, but will grunt at you when he's had enough petting (or brushing). His litter habits are good. Hank hasn't had much time to explore just yet, but is curious and would likely appreciate some space to run. He may even do well with a friend.
