She is a master at finding the coziest corners to hide in, but don't let her shyness fool you-she's got a soft spot for humans who give good pets! Darla's not one to let her limited vision hold her back. Despite her cataracts, she's out there exploring her world every day, taking it slow and steady. Losing her mate Buster was tough on her, but she's slowly getting used to flying solo. What Darla really craves is a predictable setup. She likes knowing where everything is so she can navigate her space with ease. Give her a stable environment, a bit of love, and she'll be one happy bunny, hopping her way into your heart in no time! Medical History: In 2022, Darla developed cataracts in both her eyes which are currently maintained with eye drops and rechecks with VCA Eye Clinic every 6 months. Because she is over 5 years old, vets recommend she receive annual bloodwork in addition to annual vaccinations. Spayed, date unknown Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and deadly disease caused by a calicivirus that affects both wild and domestic rabbits. It is not contagious to people or other animals. For the first time, the virus is causing deaths in rabbits and hares native to North America and is spreading rapidly. UPDATE: In May 2021, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has confirmed new cases of RHDV in rabbits in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura County. In addition to detection of RHDV2 in wild cottontail rabbits and jackrabbits, RHDV2 has been confirmed in domestic rabbits on 50 premises, including a detection in a feral domestic rabbit.
