        My bunny Benjamin is still sick and we still have not taken him to the vet even though we were supposed to take him back 2 weeks after the first visit. My mother can not afford the costly vet visits herself (she is a single mother) so I started my own mercari shop where I started selling some of my items. I don’t think I’m earning fast enough to get him to the vet in time so I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how I earn some more money. All ideas are helpful!

          Is this for the sphincter problem? Can’t you set up a payment plan with the vet?

          With all due respect, you’re a minor. It’s your mother’s responsibilityto provide care for him. If she can’t afford to treat him, you shouldn’t have him.

            I agree with Sarah about asking for a payment arrangement with the vets. Most should treat the animal first and get payment after…. not letting the animal suffer unnecessarily. But then i know U.S. ER dept ask for a credit card before human treatment !!!

              When I was a minor I made money by having bake sales, pet sitting for my neighbors, and selling things I sewed. You can ask your neighbors/mom’s friends if they have any odd jobs that you could do. Like washing their car or mowing their lawn. You can also ask if they’re willing to pay in advance so you can take your bun to the vet sooner.
              Best of luck!!

                Yes this is for the sphincter problem. And my vets do not allow payment plans. And I do understand what you are saying that I shouldn’t have him if I can’t afford him, but I was thinking that I made such a break though I’m figuring out what was wrong with him, and I feel if I give him away it might be a step back for because he is so attached to Beyoncé and me.

                  I don’t think he is in too much pain because he still runs around his lil place when I open the door to give them vedgies, and he also gets really exited when he smells treats or his favorite snack, bananas! He does however stand on the upper part of his feet because of his hocks.

                    Sore hocks are painful for rabbits. If its bad enough hes refusing to stand properly, he is in pain. Rabbits are prey animals which means theyll never show the amount of pain they are in; in the wild, prey animals who show signs of pain are the quickest to be killed. Remember, sore hocks bad enough where the rabbit cannot walk, stand, or sit properly also means the hips and spine are being affected. Arthritis (constant pain) and dislocations (which can lead to needing to put your rabbit down) are a likely (near; age is only a small factor) future if the sore hocks are not cared for ASAP.

                    When you rehome him (because you should; this bun is suffering), tell the shelter everything the vet told you about him. It would be even better if you could give the shelter your vet’s name and number so they can get the direct information from the vet. This way, his health wont be a set back, itll be a leap forward in the right direction.
