Little Snowy is doing great! You would never know

Little Snowy is doing great!

You would never know he is blind, deaf and is missing his bottom teeth.

3 weeks ago, we welcomed Annie into our hearts and home. The first 2 weeks were hard for her for a myriad of reasons- and, we expected this, as there are so many unknowns. This past week, she has exhaled and settled in. She has adjusted to her new routine, made friends with Coco (who takes her morning role of grooming Annie's eyes very seriously). Has made friends with Starla so much so, Starla has taken to another bed so that Annie might crash on hers, even Buddha has welcomed and learned to move slower and be gentler around her- (we were surprised there too, because Buddha does NOTHING slow). and darling, special abled Mercie keeps the most watchful eye over her too, no matter where she is in the house.
We gave up on prescription food because she wouldn't eat it, home cooked it is. She doesn't leap away from us as she was when we would offer the gentlest of pets and reassurances that she is now safe and all will be ok. Annie follows me outside with the tiniest of steps in a short cadence, which we are grateful to see as the sarcoma on her back leg is getting slightly bigger. She enjoys Scott holding her watching TV.
We are doing and giving what any of us would, providing all we can to make her comfortable and give her love.
I think of all the shelter animals right now who need homes, and seniors like Annie.
To share life with a pet is absolutely wonderful, to share life with a senior pet is an incredible gift.
If you ever considered fostering, now is the time.

POST #2

A week or so later, I had an intuitive hit to reach out to Kage. Kage is in the MDF alum family and has a special bun named Lavender- Cahira. Those of you who have followed us for some time would know Lavender -Cahira. She was rescued from a meat breeder in 2021. She has a damaged ear that is in a permanent bent position as a result of being in her awful husbandry situation, and being kept outside. Our great friends @Red Door let us transfer her to them as she needed more socialization. Kristin and her crew of buns worked their magic and helped her gain her confidence and readied for adoption by Kage.

Having only known of Kage, I reached out blindly through Instagram and shared our story, hoping there might be an interest in meeting Frankie as a possible husbun for Lav. (2 large buns is a big commitment) Kage graciously communicated with me and said yes! We made plans for foster to adopt.
Friends, I am OVER THE MOON excited to share these photos with you.

Lavender-Cahira and Frank- Frankie have BONDED. 2 very special and happy endings for 2 very special deserving buns who were saved from awful situations.

Many of you donated, shared, prayed and held healing thoughts for Frankie, all worked, THANK YOU! We couldn’t be more grateful for our village. To Frankie's medical team, without you this wouldn't be possible, thank you for your incredible care and compassion for his case.

And Kage, extra special thanks to you for welcoming Frankie in with loving arms. Xxx

POST 1 OF 2

On July 5, our great friend and ACO, Ruby called. She had just picked up a beautiful gray Flemish boy who had been hit by a car in Riverdale and found just feet from the curb. His right leg hanging and his underside full of road rash. We rushed him to our friends at Arbor View Animal Hospital where he had emergency surgery to remove the leg, clean his wounds and keep him for a few days in medical boarding.

Once stabilized, he returned to us here and transferred care to our primary vets -Dr's Brown + Nye where he required 2 additional surgeries as bruising from the original injury was causing necrotic tissue. (he was hit hard by that car) He stayed with them in medical boarding for 3 weeks.

Beginning of August, Frankie came back to us here to further recover. This boy is so special and has an incredibly friendly and loving disposition. He has been through so very much and is a larger breed rabbit with now only 3 legs. While Frankie is abled, bodied and determined, we knew he would need a special home and promised him we would find it.

See next post

The cemetery girls went to see Dr. Brown today and

The cemetery girls went to see Dr. Brown today and are doing well!

We named the white and black teddy bear pig, "Ghost" and the brown American pig "Saint". Both were of good weight, handlable and friendly.

Ghost has some urine staining and with time and grooming we are hopeful it will lessen and even grow out.

Saint has tattered ears and a large lump on her back that was a sebaceous cyst. These types of cysts are found on the back and bum areas. Given it's size Dr Brown drained it today and she will have it surgically removed at a later date.

Dr Brown cleaned the area, shaved, numbed, lanced, the cyst and then drained and flushed once the contents were removed.. (pix #2 IF you want to see it)

She is resting and feeling much better with Ghost in her foster home.

Once again we want to thank everyone who worked to getting these girls to safety.

Last night, we learned of an active plea for 2 abandoned guinea pigs in a cemetery on the north side of the city.

I know, who does this? Sadly, way more people than you think right now.

We were later to respond, yet offered to help if needed.
An hour ago, these 2 incredibly sweet and obviously scared pigs arrived. One has a lump on her back and tattered ears. The other is urine scalded. Yet, each received pets and to be held.

Ella, thank you for seeing something and saying something.

Sheri, a rescue friend, thank you for sharing, which created the post we saw and thread to get action

To those that sent PM to let us know, thank you too!!

Wyatt, thank you for rescuing these most deserving girls. And, even more for transporting them to us today

Lauren and Linda thank you for being there to emergency Foster

It takes a village.

Welcome sweethearts

Louis is a 3 year old lop who arrived back to us full of fur mites and sight issues (cataracts). There is concern he might have glaucoma, and his pressures today present as most likely. We did more bloodwork and will schedule an appointment with an Ophthalmologist. Today, we visited Dr Ness of Ness Exotics.
He is so precious. Hold on little guy, we promise to get you feeling better soon.

Winston is a darling lionhead rabbit who was found

Winston is a darling lionhead rabbit who was found in a yard as stray. This little guy was full of mats. His body score is the worst (1). He is so underweight. Dr Brown removed .65 kg (if I calculated right, that is 1.43 pounds of mats!) He is staying with Dr Brown and having more removed in stages as there is more that remains. One of the mats went from his chin, down his chest to his bum. Once the mat on his back thigh was released, he shimmied his bum over for more. His appetite is good and we understand he began grooming himself as soon as he could.
May this post serve as a reminder, rabbits and guinea pigs require grooming. It is all our responsibility as a companion pet owners to see to it.
Thank you to his finder for taking him in!

We have to catch up on posts this week!
The girls (Annie, Coco and Mercie) saw Dr. Weaver on Monday. All did GREAT. Look how much brighter Annie's eyes are! Doc worked her jaw and neck area as well as her hips and when you know, you know- we all just saw the relief it brought her. She received acupuncture well too -lots of needles in her hips and back, coupled with laser therapy too.
THANK YOU to all who donated for the girls sessions! We are SO grateful! ❤

Tomorrow, Annie, Coco, Mercie and I are headed to

Tomorrow, Annie, Coco, Mercie and I are headed to see Dr Weaver for acupuncture and chiropractic sessions. Annie is on anti inflammatory meds and we are hoping these sessions might ease some of the pain in her neck area especially.

Coco is having a follow up and then our girl will be available for adoption!

Mercie always benefits from these treatments as they help tremendously with her neurological tremors.

If you would like to help these ladies with their sessions, we would be so grateful. Our PayPal address is info@themoondogfarm.com

This dollbaby is Lewis, we took him after he was abandoned and found by a good sam. He's a rex rabbit with baby blue eyes. He's loving and precious, playful and inquisitive. He is now available for adoption. We estimate him to be 1 to 1.5 years old.

Just over two weeks ago, Lucy and Ethel were found

Just over two weeks ago, Lucy and Ethel were found by a good sam after they were abandoned in a park. Ewa who had no guinea pig experience googled and did a great job of keeping these 2 cuties safe and fed until we received a call to take them.

A week later, we received an application from a great family wanting to adopt a female to introduce to their pair. We shared it can be harder to bring in a single to an already established pair and would they consider a pair- and they did!

Lucy and Ethel are now Cinnamon and Nutmeg and are getting settled and enjoying their new lives! We understand there's lots of weaking and happy noises from both pairs of girls. In time they will all be introduced.

Thank you Ewa for not walking away and bringing these girls to safety. Thank you Madisyn and family for adopting these sweethearts!

We have many amazing pairs of pigs waiting for their second chances. Pairs are great because not only do they have their new human families, they have their pig partner too. Please #adoptdontshop

God speed Cinnamon + Nutmeg ❤️

Yesterday, by the grace of immediate fosters, we were able to take these 2 male rabbits that were abandoned in the Steger area.

The spotted rex mix is now named Kirby. Kirby had been on the run in Steger for awhile before being caught. The Angora mix was named Winston and he too, was found by a good sam. THANK YOU! We also want to shout out BIG thanks to our friends in the DB group in letting us know and helping facilitate hundreds of stray rabbits getting to safety (151 and counting this rabbit season)

We, like all rescues, foster homes, shelters, animal controls, police departments, and vet offices are full, maxed and exhausted. Yes, we signed up for this work, and we love it. This said, we receive threatening and desperate phone calls, texts, emails multiple times per day. Please be kind. I KNOW, I am safe to say we ALL are doing THE BEST WE CAN. This year is unprecedented for animal abandonment, strays and surrenders.

Want to help? FOSTER, please.

As you know, we like to share what we learn with all of you as it can help all of us be better pet parents.

The dreaded fur mite. Many have heard of them, but have you ever seen them? Here is one of the worst cases Dr. Brown has seen. Louis was treated with revolution and will need multiple treatments.
Please make sure to check your rabbits + guinea pigs fur. The location of this photo is between the shoulders.

What is cheyletiellosis?
Cheyletiellosis in rabbits is a condition caused by the common rabbit mite, Cheyletiella parasitovorax. This mite's effects are sometimes called "walking dandruff" because they are large, whitish mites that crawl across the skin and hair of a rabbit and cause excessive flaky skin.

Fur mites can be transferred from rabbit to rabbit, or on contaminated material. For these reasons, all of us rabbit rescues treat for mites when intaking stray rabbits for sure, and have for surrenders as preventative as well.

Cherry was abandoned outside of County Line Animal

Cherry was abandoned outside of County Line Animal Hospital, we are so glad they called and were happy to help.

Cinnamon was an OS, child no longer wanted.

Both of these deserving little ladies landed in WONDERFUL new homes and are now living their best lives!

Thanks to both families for #adoptdontshop

Sweet Annie is precious.
Limited sight. Deaf. Arthritic.
HW negative. Bloodwork not bad for this 14 year old dollbaby. Her kidneys are a different story, they are not so good. She is on a wet diet of prescription food. her teeth are bad too. She's on anti inflammatory and pain meds.

Once she was settled in the car on Friday, I prayed to her dad, Mr. James, and let him know she is safe, and asked him to keep a special eye on her.

As we all can imagine, she is searching for him. Last night she slept all the way through. She is resting a bit more comfortably today.

In honor of #nationaldogday we pulled this little

In honor of #nationaldogday we pulled this little girl named Annie.
We learned she had been found wandering, and that her dad James (referred to below) had passed away.

She is with Dr Rachel getting a full wellness check and will get her settled in here in a few hours. She is already on anti inflammatory meds as she is full of arthritis. We will make sure she is comfortable - her quality of life is our priority.

We will post more later once she is settled.
Welcome to MDF Annie.
