At the Dog House in Portsmouth, where Smokey was groomed, Anne Austin said it's just not possible that the rabbit came in contact with pyrethrins. We've been over everything. I can't imagine the bunny jumping over the side of something and licking enough pyrethrins. I can't imagine. Austin, a groomer, said Smokey was bathed in the same non-toxic shampoo used on her, on at least two other occasions.
Bunnies are fragile.
As a matter of fact, because of this, I don't think we're going to do bunnies anymore, because I don't know what happened. I'm not about to let an animal come here and be hurt. At the vet's suggestion, Collins said she allowed an necropsy to be performed on Smokey. She wants pet owners to be aware there's a lot of people who don't know about rabbits.
