A very lucky Tilly 2!
(October 11, 2013)New arrival Tilly 2 went in to the vets for her routine spay operation yesterday. She is six years old and appeared to be in full health.

She was also found to have advanced uterine cancer. Luckily, the cancer doesn’t appear to have spread yet and we are therefore hopeful that the spay has saved Tilly’s life. Like so many people Tilly’s previous owners were just unaware of the importance of neutering all female pet rabbits.
The Rabbit Welfare Association have an interesting and informative article about the issue on their website:
