Essex Rescue
On 23rd January 2009, we acquired almost a whole zoo's worth of animals that had been abandoned in a rented house in essex. The animals included 11 rabbits, 11 guinea pigs, 4 guinea fowl, 3 turkeys, 2 ducks and a cat. Here they are in the crates we collected them in.

Essex Rescue
One of the rabbits, Nessa, had terribly infected ears - full of pus and scabs. The poor littel girl must have been in quite a bit of pain. We cleaned her ears out and gave her antibiotics and pain relief. She'll be on the mend very soon, but what would have happened if we hadn't intervened?

Pixie's teeth - OUCH
Poor little Pixie has a horrific story to tell you - she had maloccluded teeth and her previous owner decided that, rather than taking her to a vet, where she would be treated under anaesthetic and with pain relief, they would do a DIY job on removing her top incisors themselves. We simply cannot bear to imagine how this was for poor Pixie. If that's not bad enough, this photo shows the state of her remaining (bottom) teeth on the day she arrived at Bobtails. Her bottom teeth have now been PROFESSIONALLY trimmed. It's a good job she made it to us in time. We can't bear to think what would have happened if she hadn't.

Minstrel..........before
Minstrel's teeth were very overgrown when he came to us in July 2009. This photo shows what they were like when he first arrived. They have now been trimmed and he is able to eat properly without being in any pain.

Kermit - Being a nosey parker on 1 November 2009
The lovely Kermit, still confined to barracks was very interested in what was going on in the garden.........bearing in mind it was pouring with rain, actually not a lot was happening apart from people dashing here and there to prevent themselves getting wet. Is that a little smirk on Kermit's face as he peers through the window? We think so too!

Homer - Before his manicure
Harley arrived with us on the 28th February 2010 having been found as a stray. This photo shows the nails on his front paws before we clipped them...

Homer - Before his manicure
... and this photo shows the nails on his back paws before we clipped them.

Homer - After his manicure...much happier!
It took just a few minutes to clip Homer's nails to make him more comfortable. You can find more information on how to clip a rabbit's nails on our You Tube site at www.youtube.com/bobtailsrescueuk
