Penny would not have survived without your support...
Walk for the Animals is now only 8 days away!
We rely heavily on the Walk to raise money for our animal medical fund, to provide veterinary care, surgeries and treatments.
This fund ensures we can be there for animals like Penny.
Penny and her husbun Parker were surrendered to OAHS when their guardian had to move and could not take them along. As a 7-year-old Holland Lop, Penny was a senior bun and had several medical concerns.
Our medical staff noticed that Penny was very underweight, had hair loss in several spots, severe muscle wasting, narrowed ear canals with excessive wax, and a low overall body condition. She also was walking as if she was in pain.
After running bloodwork and doing x-rays, our medical staff determined that she had anemia, a splayed leg, luxating patellas and lumbar stenosis.
We also partnered with the rabbit veterinary specialists at Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital & Exotic Care for a consultation.
Together, the medical teams identified the best long-term pain medications for her, ear drops, and a supplement for muscle support.
This precious senior pair were then adopted, and are happily spending their golden years together.
Help us continue to help pets like Penny by coming out to enjoy the event on Sept.12! You can also donate here: oahs.org/walk-for-the-animals-2026
