Mick, a rabbit living in a Chicago suburb, was recently named the oldest living rabbit in the world.
Due to his age, Mick suffers from cataracts and arthritis, but Rench said she does all she can to keep him comfortable.When asked what advice she would give to other owners of elderly pets, Rench said cited a healthy died, happy environment, and regular checkups at the veterinarian.
‘But my biggest rule is to try to be in tune with Mick and his needs and support him any way I’m able to. Veterinary care is getting more advanced all the time and domestic animals are living longer as a result,’ she said. Mick still has some time to go before he catches up to the oldest rabbit ever, Flopsy, who lived to be 19 years old in Australia before he passed.
‘Mick has a positive outlook and has continued to show me signs of wanting to live, which is why I keep helping him do that. Caring for him takes a lot of work and resources, but he’s been such an inspiration that the good outweighs the bad!’ Rench said.
