Bunnies from Akron Hoarding Case in Critical Conditon

**UPDATE 12/23:

We have lost 5 bunnies in total and have 5 more remaining at home and being treated. Our vet did necropsies on two of the bunnies and we were able to find out what medications to eliminate and which ones to add. Thank you for all your support and keep these bunnies in your thoughts ♥️

**UPDATE- 12/21:

We chose to let Wheat pass on to the rainbow bridge. She’s was suffering and it simply wasn’t humane to let this keep going for her. 3 more bunnies have been admitted until hopefully only Monday. They’re all symptomatic. One is in decent condition but the other two are struggling. We have 4 more in foster that we have appointments for Monday to get started on medication. Send all your good energy to these poor babies vet bills are racking up and while we’re willing to face that, we deeply appreciate any assistance we can get.

**UPDATE 12/20- 3:00PM

all remaining bunnies are confirmed positive for coccidia from previous living conditions. Oat is currently recovering in the hospital, but Wheat is still fighting for her life. Tomorrow at 11:00AM we take the remaining bunnies in for medication. We are looking over the high end of the estimate, probably around $2500. We appreciate any support you can give even if it’s a share

Please share, these baby buns need all the help they can get on 12/19 around 7:30pm we lost one of our bunnies from the hoarding situation we pulled from. We took Barley to Metro where unfortunately did not make it. Later that evening another one of his siblings, Wheat, started with similar symptoms that we very fortunately caught early. We pushed meds and critical care until the following morning before she could go to the exotics vet. Around 5am her other sibling, Oat, started with the same symptoms. We did as much at home care as we could before placing them in the hospital with an exotics specialist. After examination, it’s known they’ll need a 1-3 day hospital stay due to GI stasis but it’s pertinent to find the underlying cause of the stasis and maintain supportive care. Diagnostics have to be ran before we can know if this is due to some sort of infection or parasite. On the low end of pricing, a one day stay with x rays and a fecal exam is roughly $1400 (for both). If they ended up needing more time at the vet and other diagnostics done (such as bloodwork), we’re looking at $2200 (for both). We know it’s right before Christmas and this is already such a trying time of year. Any donation is beyond appreciated, but we truly appreciate even so much as a share of this funding link. We couldn’t do this without the array of support the community has for these animals and we’re happy to even have a small portion contributed to the care of these babies. Thank you for your consideration
