Artemis & Apollo were dumped in a residential neighborhood in August. A kind neighbor was able to catch Artemis and bring her into her house, and called us for help rescuing Apollo from her back deck. The girls have been in foster since and are thriving! They are both so sweet and social, and will climb into your lap to be petted and demand treats. Artemis shakes her booty in happiness when she gets snacks. The girls are still small after a few months in foster, so we believe they are Dutch/Netherland dwarf mixes and will likely stay small for life. Their foster has been working with them on litterbox training, but these girls are still babies and will need more time and help to master it. Their spay pre-op is scheduled for the end of November 2024, so they will likely be spayed sometime in December 2024.
Medical Note: Artemis was recently diagnosed with e. cuniculi and pasturella. These are common bacterial diseases that affect about 50% of rabbits, similar to cold sores in humans. Usually these diseases go undiagnosed unless a bunny shows symptoms, leading to further testing. Artemis recently experienced a flare up which caused the blue part of her eye to have red discoloration which will be permanent. She is currently finishing two medications to resolve her flare up. Her disease may stay dormant for the rest of her life, or if she does have another flare up, it should be put into remission quickly with another dose of medication. More information can be provided to interested adopters.
