i havent been blogging much because i've been busy with Graham.
been spending so much time with her,
even Cookie and Raisin are jealous.
when they smell Graham's scent on me, they will get angry and shun me :(
thankgoodness, bunnies are easily bought over with sweet treats.

Graham has been doing very well.
she's been really active all these while, eating and pooping well too.
plus she is finally cooperative when it comes to her meds.


unfortunately, despite our best efforts,
she developed another pressure sore on the opposite side of her bum :(

we gave her a super thick bed - multiple towels with a water beds underneath,
and even used pillows to prop her into neutral -resting position,
but because of the weakness in her hindlegs,
she inevitably flops back onto her sides.
plus she would bite the supportive pillows and push them away.

but now with painful sores on both sides,
she's more cooperative and sits quietly between the pillows.

i heard that sheepskin is a really good material for preventing pressure sores.
but sheepskin is really expensive !
anyone know where to get cheap sheepskin?

we also made everything more accessible for her.
she has her own bowl of water, pellets, carrots and hay within mouth's reach.
all she needs to do is to stick her head into either bowl and start eating !!

this is her pressure sore which is granulating well.
we're waiting for her scab to dry up and drop off.
yes indeed, it looks bad and painful.
poor baby.

recently, i made friends with a japanese engineer.
he and his wife adopted a disabled rabbit called LingLing.
similar to Graham, LingLing is paralysed waist down,
and is only able to move around by drag herself with her front paws.

Don, the jap guy, made LingLing a wheelchair.
it is really cool!!
now, LingLing is able to run around and play with the other rabbits at home.

Don's really nice, he taught me how to make Graham a wheelchair too.
and thats why i've been even busier than usual,
must take care of hammy plus run all over the island,
finding the different parts necessary for the construction of the wheelchair.

not only that, he taught me alot on caring for a disabled rabbit.
ie: 4hourly scheduled bladder massage, to express Graham's urine,
this is to prevent her from soiling herself,
and also, to prevent skin infection from prolonged exposure to the acidic urine

oh, i cant wait to make Graham her very own wheelchair too !
