Carly was rescued in Carlton, Oregon on June 6 and taken to a local clinic where head trauma was diagnosed. She was transferred to Scales & Tales in Beaverton and the clinic called RA for assistance in placing the rabbit in foster care. She had blood in the left ear and a bruised and bloodshot left eye. It is unknown how the injuries occurred.
Carly responded extremely well to syringe feeding with Critical Care (20 to 24 ml 3x daily); also given antibiotic, probiotic, Reglan, and Metacam daily. She began eating alfalfa hay by the second day in foster care. She has continued to receive a half-tablet of a vegan strawberry flavored probiotic as a treat and looks forward to it every evening.
Carly bonded well with the foster mom and would cuddle happily for 10-15 minutes at a time. She is not tolerant of other rabbits, preferring human interaction. Because of this, it is recommended that she be adopted as a single. Perhaps when she matures a bit more, she will be accepting of a partner.
