Help Zara Breathe Easy
Donation protected
In the fall we were alerted to a pair of domestic bunnies roaming in a Kingston neighbourhood. They had been living in a hutch in someone’s backyard and escaped. Their (supposed) guardians didn’t care or want them back. They were content to let them fend for themselves.
A kind family managed to catch one bunny and asked for our help with the other. When we arrived we found a white bunny had tucked herself into a stack of firewood. She was dirty, tired and terrified. We surrounded the
stack of wood with fencing and carefully dismantled the pile until we reached her.
Zara (and her brother Cola) came into our care that day. We thought that day was the last of the bad ones for Zara. Sadly we were wrong. Zara is suffering with an undiagnosed respiratory issue. We had hoped it was a simple infection and would be easy to treat. Two trips to a specialist in Toronto and two rounds of antibiotics have made it clear that’s not the case.
A foreign object (like hay) lodged in her sinuses or a tumor or other growth is now believed to be the cause. A CAT scan is required to fully assess the situation. These are expensive and only done at the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph. Once the scan is done and Zara’s diagnosis fully understood she would likely undergo rhinoscopy.
Between the CAT scan and surgery, Zara’s medical needs will cost approximately $2,000.
We need your help.
