Get Well Sprinkles!!!

Sweet Sprinkles has been an adoptable Hug-a-Bunny for as far back as we can remember! We rescued Sprinkles shortly after starting Hug-a-Bunny about 6 years ago. She was anywhere from 2-4 when we rescued her, making her an elderly lady now. She's lived in a few foster homes and has always been the best and most polite girl. It's a wonder to us how she never got adopted, but for one reason or another she was always overlooked. While she's been living with us, she's been treated like our family member and has always thought she was a queen! Sprinkles is getting a little older now and over the past few months lost sight in her right eye with some minor swelling to the eye. We've seen eyes like this before, so after seeing the vet, we opted against surgery hoping it would stay the same. However, within the last few weeks, this eye got bigger and bigger, and against our hopes, it was badly infected and filled with a fungus! Just yesterday (March 4th) Sprinkles had to go in for surgery to clear out the infection and close up the eye (with a few other stomach-turning details). Sprinkles is home and recovering well. Let's all send our best wishes to Sprinkles on a speedy recovery! After the physical recovery, Sprinkles will have to continue to learn how to maneuver with only one eye. She is definitely one tough chick!
