Now, the bionic bunny
NZPA-PA London A bionic bunny, Mikki Most, blinked at the world through new eyelids yesterday after recovering from two hours of surgery to help him see again. The grey, wild rabbit was found near death on the Leicester to Northampton road in April suffering from myxomatosis. A husband and wife team Les and Sue Stocker, who run the Wildlife and Hospital Trust in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, nursed him back to health. But the disease had caused scar tissue to form over the animal’s eyes, effectively sealing them up. The Stockers appealed for assistance, and two plastic surgeons, Bruce Bailey and Jeremy Roberts, offered to help in their spare time, free of charge.
