## Caption

During a very scary visit to the vet, the doctor confirmed that I was blind and deaf as a result of a neurological parasite called E. cuniculi. The damage was irreversible. Had I waited to get tested, I most likely would have been paralyzed. A second shock came when my vet told me how I likely contracted it it: it is often spread when rabbits are bred and born into dirty, unhealthy living conditions. #StaffTakeover
