Tesla’s Fight Against Cancer

Tesla is one of the most resilient souls at Life With Pigs. This gentle rabbit, who loves exploring cozy corners and nibbling her favorite greens, and who is one of the only animals who is every brave enough to steal food from the pigs, has already overcome more than most animals ever face.
​
Last year, Tesla underwent a major surgery to remove one of her ears after a severe infection revealed something more serious: cancer. It was a difficult ordeal, but Tesla pulled through bravely, adapting quickly and showing us once again the incredible strength of animals when they are given love and care.

A New Challenge

Recently, during a routine check on an eye issue, our vets discovered troubling signs that Tesla’s cancer may have spread. We are currently awaiting bloodwork results to confirm the extent, but the reality is that Tesla may now be facing an even bigger fight.
​
For a small rabbit, this kind of diagnosis is daunting. Yet, Tesla continues to greet each day with her characteristic gentleness - lunging for a banana snack, enjoying soft pets, and never failing to remind us how precious her life is.

​What Comes Next

Right now, our focus is on two things:

1. Medical Care: Working closely with our veterinary team to determine the best treatment options once results come back.  We are administering antibiotics and subcutaneous fluids at home.
2. Comfort & Love: Making sure Tesla has every comfort possible, from cozy blankets to special treats, and of course, all the affection she could want.

No matter what the tests reveal, Tesla deserves the very best - and we are committed to giving her that.
