This little rabbit was dumped in our neighborhood by someone.

We first saw her around late May, and finally on August 11th were able to catch her.
She was out on her own for at least two whole months.

Throughout the time we were watching her range around outside, I became more impressed by her ability to survive,
and gave her the name Galahad (before knowing she was a girl), since she was white
and was somehow succeeding in a great, seemingly impossible quest to survive.

She's just under 3 lbs, about the size of a loaf of bread.

This was taken the day after getting her in to the vet, where she was treated for an infestation of fleas -
when you touched her head they would boil out of her fur and swarm over her face.
Completely horrific and disgusting.
It made me want to scratch my head for a couple of hours whenever I witnessed it.
She had at least a couple of ticks too, and her left foreleg was scarred and she held it funny.

Sometime on the day this was taken, I discovered a mass on her belly, and took her in to the vet again on
Monday first thing, where I then also noticed a scabby mass on her neck. The vet was able to remove the mass
on the neck. The neck mass was a cuterebra, which (skip to the next sentence if you're squeamish)
basically happens when a fly lays eggs on the skin and the maggot grows on the living animal.
There, aren't you glad you skipped that last line?!?

The mass on her belly couldn't be taken care of that day unfortunately, and she was given antibiotics and
scheduled for emergency surgery the next morning. This was just an unknown little rabbit, but I was
already throwing in for her, and we decided to go ahead and give her a chance.

The mass turned out to be (as far as I understand) a place where she had suffered a traumatic
injury and some of her insides were sticking out, and it had gotten infected (it was actively oozing milky pus at the visit).
The vet said it was a very strange and difficult case, and we took her
home with the vet not giving us any promises, just that "It's up to her now."

She was a bit spacey that evening although she started eating right away, but I wasn't sure if she would be alive in the morning.

She was.

Since then, she has continued to thrive, and is bounding around like nothing happened.
She's the sweetest rabbit, with tons of personality.
