Bunny Base

My bunny, that I have written many blogs on, sadly, is sick. He’s been sick for a while now because he’s getting old and more careless. Our nickname for him is the Energizer Bunny because he keeps on going and going. He’s lost almost all of his fur and has really flaky skin. He is really skinny and has a ravenous appetite and eats all of his food, but doesn’t gain enough wait. We took him to the vet twice in one week to find out if he had mites or ticks that was making his fur fall out. He didn’t have any of those so we did some blood work. The vet told us that his white-blood cell count was too high and that was what was making him really skinny. He has cancer. You could literally see most of his bones. We still don’t even know what’s making his fur fall out. He bites himself because his skin is so itchy, so he has a lot of scabs on him. When he stands up to stretch, he falls over from not enough muscle/muscle loss. I feel so bad because he’s such a sweet bunny and he has such a cute personality. He loves being around people. He’ll come up to you and nibble on your shoe lace or sit on his hind legs and gently scratch at your leg saying, “Play with me please!!!” I’m going to go play with him right now. Any ways, if your bunny is sick with this, spend as much time with it as much as you can. There is no cure for cancer yet, but there will be. Someone should start an animal cancer fund. That’d be cool.
