When my very 1st bun was abandoned in our driveway, I immediately became a bunny slave (as I’m sure many others completely understand). She was a miracle sent from above, my heart-bun -- the love of my live (sorry hubby!) who, before leaving for the Rainbow Bridge, used her last effort to pull herself over to be with me; then, to turn around to face me, using her last bit of energy to snuggle with
me and let me know that she loves me and knew how much I love her. Hubby always says "you gave her the best life, in her short time here" but the truth is she gave ME the best life--everything I've done/still do is because of and for her! The buns shown in the Bunnies 1st logo are the buns who have enslaved me.My family has often teased me that the bunnies always come first in our house and I agree wholeheartedly--hence, the name … “Bunnies 1st” ;)
Not long after becoming a bunny slave and learning the hard way that some buns can be more prone to illness than others -- that any bun can seem completely healthy one minute and critically ill the next, most of us bunny slaves eventually come to realize that this almost always happens during the night, on a holiday or a weekend when rabbit-savvy vets are not available. Instead of panicking, we must be prepared and the items in these first aid kits are intended to help with such until you can get to the vet. After having to find items in several different locations, I searched everywhere for an actual bunny first aid kit but to no avail. My first kit was custom made as a donation to be raffled off with other prizes at a fundraiser. Before the night was over, I had several requests to make kits for other fundraisers as well as folks wanting kits for their own buns so here we are … Bunnies 1st First Aid Kits and More (the “More” coming soon)! As with any first aid kit, it is not possible to have every single item that you may need in these kits but from experience and what I’ve learned from volunteering for a rabbit rescue organization, these items are what most bunny slaves will often need. Other items have been excluded as some have a short shelf-life, some require a vet prescription and most folks already have others in their medicine cabinets (such as digital thermometers). PLEASE NOTE that these first aid kits are not intended to replace expert veterinary care and it is not recommended to make a self-diagnosis nor to be used as such. Only a rabbit-knowledgeable veterinarian is qualified to determine exactly what your bunny's illness is and recommend treatments for your beloved family member. ALWAYS take your bun to a vet when exhibiting any sign(s) of illness. Thanks so much for checking out my small corner of the world and have a bunderful day!
