   Barney
 

 

Barney is a very handsome brown and white mini lop.  He was found running about in the streets and was taken to a local vet for safety.  The surgery advertised him but nobody came to collect him, so they contacted C.A.R.R.O.T. to ask if we would take him in.

We know nothing about Barney's history apart from the fact that he had been well kept.  We think he's around two years old and we have had him neutered.

Barney has the most endearing face, and constantly wears a 'worried' expression.  He has a lovely nature, is very energetic and likes to be petted. 

Can you offer this enchanting wee man a loving home?

Barney has now been rehomed with a charming and very beautiful girly bun called Chloe.  We know they'll be very happy together as we spotted them giving each other little kisses when they thought we weren't looking!

Update: There is a sad end to this tale.  Barney grew to love being with Chloe but unfortunately he succumbed to myxomatosis very recently.  Barney came into CARROT as a stray and we therefore didn't know if he'd had any vaccinations previously.  Myxomatosis injections can be given to a rabbit at 6 month intervals but no sooner.  Because of this, he couldn't get any vaccinations done before he was rehomed, but his new owner planned to have this done as soon as was permissible.  Sadly he must have been bitten by an insect carrying the disease.  Although no wild rabbits are in close proximity, it could have been a flea carried in by a cat, nobody will ever know.  This is why it is SO important to have your rabbit covered by vaccinations at all times, myxomatosis twice a year and VHD once a year.  Thankfully Chloe had already been vaccinated against this sickening disease and has not contracted it, proving the power of vaccination.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR RABBIT IS PROTECTED AGAINST DISEASE.
