Rabbit abandoned in Broxburn
The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a rabbit was found abandoned in her cage in West Lothian.
We rescued the female lionhead crossbreed after a member of the public spotted the cage in the grounds of Broxburn Sports Centre on Tuesday (15 November).
The rabbit, who has been named Spud, is now being cared for at our Edinburgh and Lothians Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.
Animal Rescue Officer Jenni Wright said, "Poor Spud was left in a cage which had a large build up of faeces and urine. She hardly had any bedding and didn't even have food or water.
"Spud had extremely overgrown claws which would have been really uncomfortable and made it difficult for her to walk.
"Thankfully, she has since had her nails clipped and is now receiving all the love and care she needs from staff at the centre.
"The person who abandoned Spud has been very cruel by leaving her so exposed and couldn't have been sure whoever found her would have helped.
"We are keen to identify her owner and would ask anyone who recognises Spud to get in touch as soon as possible."
Anyone with information relating to this abandonment is urged to call our Animal Helpline on 03000 999 999.
