So Scared - Possible broken foot (Update - broken toe)

I'm so scared at the moment:cry::cry:. My poor Twinkle bun hasn't improved and is still hopping around on three legs. I'm going to go straight to the vets when it opens. I feel so bad I didn't get the vet out straight away yesterday, but the emergency vet said she'd be Ok to be seen today. She's so annoyed at being confined, all she wants to do is hop round like normal.

I think she has a broken foot. I don't care about the cost, but I'm just so scared about whats going to happen. I have no experience of caring for buns with broken bits, especially as I have to take her campanion-bun's needs into account to.

I feel like such a bad mummy:cry:

Don't feel bad, your doing all you can. I hope the Vets can ease your mind and that Twinkle improves soon. sending lots of get well vibes
 
Thanks, sorry was getting a little crazy.

I've just come back from the vets. She has broken a metatarsal bone, like the footballers.

They have just advised lots of rest and to let it heal naturally. They did say that they can pin it, but they can't garentee that it would work. I don't fancy putting her through orthopedic surgery, if it isn't completly nessessary and may not work

We have just been given a week of rymidyl (something like that) for the pain. The lovely vet taught me how to do the jabs, so hopefully we are now set for a good recovery.

Anyone got any advise about broken feet??????
