Neighbors moved away in June and left this poor little rabbit to fend for itself.. I fed it and let it run between the two houses in the gardens. 12 days ago Little Minou kept trying to get my attention to follow her and I finally did. She brought me to my back garden where this rabbit was spinning like crazy. I thought it had a broken neck so rushed it to the vet.
Four days later I was called to come pick up the rabbit who the vet has assured me is a girl and I named her Brigitte. The rabbit is suffering from an inner ear infection and fluid in the ear and had severe vertigo which made its entire world constantly spin. At first her head was over to the right dragging on the floor and I wondered if she would ever get better.
She has 4 medications to take twice a day and my daughter, Katherine who should have been a vet, administers the medicines. Brigitte's head is almost straight again and I am hoping that by the end of the medicine doses she will be totally right.
My vet bill when I picked her up was quite extravagant and that is why I call her the golden rabbit. She has such pretty, dainty feet.
For sure she will no longer hop through the neighborhood but will live in my house.
