Featuring animals needing vet operations and can you donate to their care at the GSPCA – Willow the rabbit needing a dental

Submitted by Steve on 11:19, 13th Jan, 2023 | 0

The GSPCA in recent years has seen more rabbits needing homes than dogs or cats.

Hundreds of rabbits every year come through our doors.

Sadly many of them have issues with their teeth and one of those currently is Willow.

Willow was found as a stray last October and sadly no owner was found.

She had a very poorly eye when she arrived and after investigations she has to have a dental operation.
