Racing for Little Augustina

Volunteers David (seen here) and Carolyn were mobilized in response to Augustina's MEDICAL-ALERTED status at East Valley Shelter, where's she'd been suffering multiple putrid abscesses from botched spay & older injuries having gone unchecked. Rancid tissue deterioration & build-up of congealed pus throughout... (See our treatment images in comments; warning - graphic). 🙁 To be involved in helping her, please visit www.bunnyworldfoundation.org/donate for PayPal service. She is fighting for her new life! Her will is STRONG.

Thanks to volunteers running hours-long rescue commutes for her, AUGUSTINA was pulled out of the shelter, evaluated, stabilized, and rushed from L.A. to Fountain Valley emergency Vet care that same night.

Augustina's initial emergency treatment: Clipping fur & cleaning of all wounds • Lancing of abscesses • Warm compressing • Administering injectable Torbutrol, Baytril, Metacam, Penicillin, & ORAL Azithromycin.

She’s currently on THREE antibiotics • probiotics • pain meds • Critical Care mix, & a full array of holistic treatments: echinacea, colloidal silver, turmeric, coconut & CBD oils. 

She’s receiving intensive DAILY wound flushing/lancing of abscesses with diluted Chlorhexadine - (similar example seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA9MVI6MRHg) -

and followed by Silver Sulfadiazine topical antibiotic. Augustina is scheduled to remain on this protocol for one month with weekly re-checks.

This young child is the sweetest and most tolerant soul.  Despite her discomfort, Augustina remains grateful, loving, and rewards her foster mama with ample post-treatment kisses... pulling at the heart like no other. 

Her life so far: 4-WEEK-old Augustina was brought into East Valley Animal Shelter on July 7 as a "stray" with injuries from possible attack by another animal. Her injuries advanced to aggressive abscesses, but went unnoticed, causing infection to invade her fragile body. She later endured an ill-managed spay surgery while already undermined by pre-existing infections. The outcome of so much overlooked complications is gruesome, yes... but we are determined to rehabilitate her 100%, and provide her every deserved detail of care, and a bright, pain-free future. We refuse to fail her. She's been failed quite enough.

It's possible Augustina will require a second spay surgery, but that's a ways off. Please consider joining in her recovery. We are grateful for any amount of help, and of course - once better - she'll need a new foster parent, and eventually a little bunny boy companion... and then a forever home in which to start over and never look back. If you have ever considered helping these downtrodden beings, please make the time now, and email us at info@bunnyworldfoundation.org for a foster / adoption application.

Thank you for wanting to see this youngster get all the love and care she's been denied every second of her life.
