Hi Everyone,
I do not post much, have been very busy with a head tilt bunny. Since
Lindsey became ill again, I have been bringing her out to the main
part of the house to medicate and syringe feed her. And it has thrown
Michelle over the edge health-wise. We have 3 rabbits, and Michelle's
allergies have reached a danger point. Her doctor said she has to get
rid of the rabbits, she just went thru a severe bought with her asthma
and is very ill. She is diabetic and her doc said the steroids needed
to treat her asthma put her at higher risk. They are sending her to a
cardio-pulmonary specialist now. We have had Hannah for 7 years, and
Grace and Lindsey for about a year. It is KILLING us to have to let
them go. I am posting general info on them and Ros from On The Wonk
rabbit list is cross posting to a bunch o other rabbit lists as well.
I do have someone who is willing to foster Lindsey, but I hate to see
our other 2 babies go to a rescue. If anyone is interested in giving
our furries a loving forever home as an inside house rabbit, please
contact me privately at sshalimar16@...
I have the flu right now so am not online a lot each day but I will
check at least once a day. I live in Puyallup, Washington, 45 miles
south of Seattle. Below you will find some informatio on each
rabbit. Pictures are available upon request.
Thanks so much,
Laura Ledet

Hi,

So sorry to hear about your situation. I'll try my best to spread the
word around here about your Washington buns (I live in Kelowna BC,
Canada). My friend might be interested in adopting rabbits, as her
boyfriend is allergic to everything domestic animal but rabbits and
birds. Would you mind sending me pictures? My email is
vill...@gmail.com
Good luck with your search - I'll be in touch if I find a lead.
