This is
Whiskey and she is approximately 3 years old. She arrived at
C.A.R.R.O.T. in July 2004, her previous owner had a stroke and was
unfortunately no longer able to care for her.
Whiskey is very sweet and quite vocal, especially when being petted.
She can also be very impatient and starts to thump when she knows her
breakfast or supper is coming! Another endearing trait is trying to
wear things on her head ie. her litter tray, her toys, hay etc! She
also doesn't mind being cuddled and loves having her nose rubbed.
Whiskey loves to play with toys and can often be found clattering her toys
about in the middle of the night. She can also lead you a merry dance
when trying to get her back into her hutch, she prefers to go back herself
in her own time (which isn't good if you run a rescue and you're in a hurry
to let other buns out for their run-around time!). However, cos she's
so cheeky, I tend to forgive her.
Update: Whiskey has now been
vaccinated and spayed. Unfortunately she has developed a slight respiratory
problem (very easily controlled but infectious to other buns) and will now need to be rehomed as a single bun to an
attentive
rabbit owner. However, her ex-prospective husbun Haggis is very
disappointed but will hopefully find a new missus soon!
Update: Unfortunately Whiskey
developed an abscess which very quickly spread throughout the muscles on the
right side of her face, and she had to be put to sleep (20/01/05). She
showed no sign of discomfort beforehand, the only visible sign was a small
swelling which quickly grew over a matter of two days. Surprisingly
she never lost her appetite or changed her eating habits and was still keen
on nose rubs right up to the end, I only hope this showed that she suffered
little or no pain. Had it been curable or controllable (with draining,
flushing and antibiotics), she would have remained with us for the rest of
her life, however once the vet had a proper look at it under anaesthetic, we
discovered that the abscess had tracked to many places and it was kinder to
let her go, she was put to sleep whilst still under anaesthetic. We
are devastated.
~* Binky free wee lass, you will
be sorely missed, I'm so sorry you never found your forever home.
Take all our love to the spirit
buns and go find Smokey, Daisy, Missy, Annie and Misty, they'll keep you
right sweetheart ;-) *~
