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.

... 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

Hermia's nails
Hermia came to us with very long nails after living in a hamster cage. She could hardly walk when she arrived and these are the nails that we clipped. She's fine now - and much more comfortable.

Aggi's bottom
Poor Aggi came to us with a very dirty bottom in the middle of summer and it was therefore a wonder that she didn't have flystrike. This photo shows her before we tidied her up.

Baldrick returns in a state
Baldrick arrived at Bobtails as a baby in 2009 along with a number of his siblings. His mother nibbled off his ears, tail and some toes as a result of her living in stressful conditions. He was otherwise healthy and was rehomed. He and lived with his new wife for a number of years. However Baldrick's wife died recently and he has come back to us. We were horrified and disappointed at the state that he arrived in. See more photos below …
