Home Of The Continental Giant Rabbit.

Hello everyone time for a catch up of recent events I think .

It is with mixed emotions I write this blog as the one below is introducing  Brea (that as you know we sadly lost) , this blog is about her litter sister named Freya that Emma (Breas breeder) kindly gave us on the 11th of this month. Freya is another beautiful Dark Steel Continental Giant doe , she was born on the 3rd of August 2009 and I am pleased to say say that she as the same bold and affectionate nature that Brea had  I have uploaded several photos for you to see ,  the first two picture's were taken two days after she arrived with us and the other picture's were taken almost a week ago , as you can see she is growing quickly and as a appetite to match , she particualarly loves the Dodson and Horrell Just Grass and is like a little vaccum cleaner when that's about

She had her first mxyi vaccination on Wednesday and was brilliant , we did however have a big scare with Billy! , he and Beauty had their VHD booster shots at the same time Freya had her first  mxyi shot , Billy had a bad reaction to the vaccination this time even though he had the last one with no problems , I thought we were going to loose him , we had to get him back to the vets , he was so listless , couldn't support himself , couldn't lift his head or move , they found his temperature was up , his eye was rolled back and it really looked like touch and go , he was so stressed they didn't want to keep him in the surgery so he was injected with metacol  to bring down inflammation , I was given instruction to syringe feed him every two hours with critical care recovery up until 2am but was told to phone back and let them know how he was at 8pm that night anyway (it was now 6pm) if there was no improvement by 8 I had to bring him straight back in , there was a little improvement in him by 8pm so continued to syringe feed him several times during the night , it took a good several days before he started to eat which was very concerning as we know with rabbits we have to keep their guts moving. The vet  phoned (which I thought was nice) to see how he was doing.
