Lorenzo
FAREWELL Kristen Doherty writes, November 24/02 --

Lorenzo has severe head tilt. He was
abandoned with 16 other rabbits by a 19 yr old girl who was "rescuing"
rabbits. Apparently she had a drug problem and left home one day, and left
the rabbits in her family’s garage to fend for themselves. The girl's
family was going to euthanize Lorenzo, so I took him home. Lorenzo is currently undergoing aggressive ear treatment since both ears are badly infected. We’re convinced that his feisty personality is what’s keeping him fighting this horrible infection. He was put under anesthesia twice to clean/debride abscesses deep inside both ears. A few days after the very first ear cleaning, Lorenzo was able to stand, whereas he could not before. |

More recently, Lorenzo underwent a complicated and costly surgical procedure called a bulla osteotomy to remove more infected tissue and debris from the middle ear. It is his only hope of achieving a near-normal quality of life. We are hoping that the surgery, along with follow-up treatment, will enable him to stand at will and to someday walk and hop. As long as he continues to receive treatment, Lorenzo will remain a Sanctuary rabbit. |
