Maury (boy)
Maury is a super-cute, small golden Holland lop boy who comes to SaveABunny with one of the worst dental cases we have ever seen. When I met Maury at San Francisco Animal Care and Control he had recently been abandoned at the shelter by someone who just no longer wanted him.
After doing rescue work for nearly ten years it is almost instinct to quickly spot a rabbit in need. Maury’s face was dirty and wet and he clearly had not been able to groom his underside either.
A look at his teeth immediately revealed the problem which had somehow been missed at the shelter and not noted by his owner.
His upper incisors had grown so long that they were curved inwards and had started to grow into the roof of his mouth. His lower teeth were broken. It was clear that he was suffering and needed emergency rescue or euthanasia. Time was of the essence, since the San Francisco shelter (SFACC)unfortunately has a new strict euthanasia time frame for rabbits, so we had to make a decision fast. We chose to rescue Maury, even though his teeth will need to be surgically removed, which will cost us about $500+.
After his teeth are removed Maury will be able to live a virtually normal life. He’s adorable, very nice and certainly deserves more than what humans have done for him until now.
We really need your help to raise funds for his medical care.
Thank you for caring for Maury and we will update you on his progress.
