Petunia

This beautiful harlequin girl came into our care after being found near Gardenworks with a leg injury.

Despite her rough start, she has shown nothing but quiet resilience and gentle curiosity since arriving. Based on her symptoms on intake, we suspect she was suffering from a significant underlying uterine infection (pyometra), which likely progressed to sepsis. This would have left her extremely weak and may have contributed to a temporary “pseudo-paralysis” in her hind end, where she was unable to properly use her back legs despite there being no obvious structural injury.

Once she was placed on appropriate care, provided supportive nutrition, and settled into a low-stress environment, and spayed she began to improve very quickly. Her strength and mobility returned rapidly as her body stabilized, highlighting just how profoundly illness and stress had been affecting her.

She is now fully recovered and ready to find her forever home. She has settled beautifully into care and is beginning to show her gentle, observant personality as she continues to gain confidence.

With her striking harlequin markings and soft nature, she is a truly special rabbit who is learning that life can finally feel safe and steady. She is looking for a calm, loving home where she can continue to thrive at her own pace. If you feel you could be the right match for her, we welcome your application.
