Overview

• Hot Wheels, a giant rabbit found paralyzed, was diagnosed with EC-Krankheit, a central nervous system infection caused by a single-celled organism.
• Initial suspicions of a vehicular injury were dismissed following a veterinary examination confirming the disease.
• Shelter staff repurposed a birdhouse into a custom rollator, enabling Hot Wheels to regain mobility and providing therapeutic benefits.
• The rabbit is now able to stand and move independently with the rollator, while also receiving medication to support his recovery.
• The Aalen animal shelter is actively seeking a permanent home or foster placement to ensure his continued care and quality of life.
