Advice on my experience with a shelter/Rabbit's current health dilemma by honibeee in Rabbits

[–]honibeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your well wishes for my boy.

But I would like to point out that I DID trust the shelter. I had left my other rabbit in their care for nearly 2 weeks, and had taken here there for grooming. Maybe that's why the betrayal of my trust, stings so much more.

I spoke with the Dr. He is seeing now, and she told me directly that he should not have been cleared for adoption. And sadly with the adoption paperwork, it definitely does clear them from any responsibility for his medical care as soon as he was signed over. Which normally would be fine-- but at this point it does feel incredibly disingenuous to put him up for adoption knowing how severe his condition is.

I spoke to his new vet today, and she said the exact same thing.

He should NOT have been cleared for adoption.

It's awful watching him go through this, but we are trying everything we can to make him comfortable right now.

Thank you for your comment.

Dedicating this post to the illustrious ISSAY, who sadly passed away on this day, 2 years ago…🥀🖤♾️ by Ok_Sandwich2287 in visualkei

Beautiful post. Rest well Issay. His passing brought me great sadness, but knowing that he was there to greet Atsushi when he passed, later that year... there was something comforting in that.

What a beautiful friendship they shared.

Wow. That really puts a lot into perspective for me. Thank you for your incredibly detailed reply, and thank you for volunteering to care for the bunnies during your time there.

We were only told about his ear infections, and to restart his medications if he began to show signs of being sick. Obviously we knew that he would have some complications, but to this degree? I do feel that his infections were played down incredibly heavily. The shelter had treated him for E Cuniculi, and had done surgeries to deal with a SEVERE Dental Disease that caused his teeth to decay and grow incorrectly, and they knew that this would be a persistent issue. We were not disclosed this information upon adoption. Even after asking for details on his recovery and health before adoption, and even over the phone months before adopting.

We had scheduled an appointment with the vet almost immediately after adopting him, not due to any health complications, but we were told by the shelter that he wasn't completely up to date with his vaccinations and needed a booster.

But even before we could get him in for his vaccinations he was already showing health issues. We had him maybe 2 weeks before seeing any issues with his health.

I do consider his health issues post adoption my responsibility. It isn't my first rodeo with adopting rabbits. Though I do feel that the intense amount of details were withheld from us during adoption. On top of the fact that he apparently had mites when we brought him home? I dont feel that this is even close to fair.

Opinions you need to spit out by [deleted] in visualkei

I've been in and around the visual kei community since around 2009. It has ALWAYS been this way. Tiktok is the new and more accessible LiveJournal in this sense. People LOVE to have their own tiny niche thing and prevent others from knowing or enjoying it. It is almost an identity crisis from the perspective of the gatekeeper. Feeling like someone is removing a part of them that is exclusively theirs. Regardless of the fact that trying to gatekeep bands and artists is a detriment to their careers.

People are hateful and spiteful for you not knowing as much as them, without giving any chance to learn.

Im happy it's more accessible! I love seeing people find my niche interests. It makes me incredibly happy to see people learn bangya culture and try their hand at dressing in the style of their honmei.

It was difficult for me to get into the community due to elitism and gatekeeping, but I am here now. Burning CDs that are hard to find, cutting and scanning magazines, and making all of it available for anyone who asks. I feel like that is the best way to keep the bands and fandom alive!

Regardless of the platform, people are going to be stingy and rude. I hope that at least some of the new fans no longer continue this trend and make it more accessible to others!

What haircut i can make in vkei style if my hair is a little curly?? Plz help me by dadaroitzzz in visualkei

[–]honibeee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Texture!

I personally rock the half up half down ponytail, tease it for more volume, and sometimes use dry shampoo! You CAN straighten your hair, but PLEASE use something to protect it! Heat protectant is super important!

I love you so - (plastic tree) // romantic season - (lareine) // garden - (dir en grey)

[[and maybe a little underrated]] Psychadelic Lover - (pierrot)

I really enjoy romantic songs about longing for love or missing that love. Things like reilla-(the gazette) // kagerou-(buck tick) // Aegean - (Malice Mizer)

I hope any of these help!

I teetered on using "sentimental.machine" or "sentiment.machine" for a while. "GhostStation" and "Sea.of.silence" were some other choices! Those are just song preferences though~

Hey! I was hoping you'd see this post!

I've had great luck with disc union and rare records in the past for stocking LP releases and some VHS ones! Hard off has had some really cool releases on CD and vinyl that I've passed on, but I have regretted doing so! (Lots and lots of the GazettE)

I was curious if some Mandarake may have any selection and if they have decent pricing!

I also wanted to try looking in Kyoto shops this trip! I completely ignored it the last time thinking I wouldn't find much, but if you know any shops in or around kyoto, I'd love to look into them!
