Please help save Theons eye!
Donation protected
Hi, thanks for viewing Theons fundraiser! In June20 I noticed Theon had a sore eye, took him to the vets and they diagnosed a severe eye ulcer that covers 90% of his eye. We've been treating the ulcer with antibiotics for the last 11+ weeks to no avail.
In September I was referred to ophthalmology out of town. Theon was diagnosed with a chronic non healing ulcer. They did a keratotomy, cost for that day was £281. He'll be reviewed in 2 weeks to see if the keratotomy worked or not, if not his eye will be removed! He is now on eye drops 9x a day and painkillers once a day, his treatment will likely be ongoing for some time.
He is much loved by my whole family, friends and his 3 bonded rabbit friends, Elli, Isabella and Caspian. Theon is the life and soul of my house, he is the leader rabbit and I can't imagine life without him. He is over 8 years old and such a strong brave boy.
So far I have spent £270 to buy prescription meds online and £860 with the vet and specialist. His vet checks, meds and treatment is ongoing for the foreseeable future. Any donations will be used to pay off all his medication, vet consults, surgeries and treat him to tasty food as a reward for his bravery and keep his weight up, as he's started to lose weight since the ulcer. Donations means I can give Theon the best eye care without hesitation.
Theon really is the best rabbit I've owned, we have an outstanding bond and I will do everything in my power to keep him safe and well so he can live a pain free life with his bunny friends and me. I've attached some photos, please take a look to see what a special character he is❤️
ANY donation means the absolute world to save my amazing boy.
Thank you for reading ~ Jess, Theon, Elli, Isabella & Caspian
EDIT 29th SEPTEMBER
Please read the recent update posted regarding Theons health. Unfortunately he took a dramatic turn for the worst on Thursday and was hospitalised in intensive care for 3 days due to a severe bout of stasis, costing £850 to add on top of his £1130 eye vet bills. I've increased the target to help me cover these high vet bills and new lot of medication. (gofund me takes a % of the money raised which is why the goals higher than the bills) My poor boy has been through so very much this year and every day I'm so impressed by his fight for life, with whatever it throws at him!! Please continue to support my wonderful boy, any donation is so gratefully received. I've attached the vets bills for the end of September in the photos section, so you can see exactly where the donations are going❤️

This sums up Theon perfectly. The fluffy rabbits sitting nicely, Theon jumping in the bin to eat the old hay and branches. I love him for his cheeky character!
The Rabbit room. I always ensure the rabbits have a choice of tunnels, chews, natural forage, branches, hide huts etc. My rabbits are my world!
