Helo :wave:
I have such bad luck with poor George! Today he went to the vet for his Myxomatosis vacc and whilst on the table he struggled and panicked. Usually I hold onto him but there was a different vet there today who said he could handle George. Anyway, whilst he was holding him George struggled and managed to leap off the vet table, through the air and kind fo banged against the sideboard and fell onto the floor. It was such a big fall but luckily George managed to fall onto his feet. I rushed over to pick him up and held him. The vet didn't even seem bothered :evil: I didn't want him to touch him after that. He made no attempt to catch George he just let him jump!!!!! THEN when I asked if George would be OK< expecting him to check him over he just shrugged and said 'oh he'll be fine'. He told me to check him over myself tonight :evil::evil: arrrghi'm soo annoyed!!
George seems OK, he's hopping fine and doesn't seem bothered at all. He's now just resting under the table, but i'm panicking now and have been looking up rabbit fractures. I've read these are quite common? Has anyone's rabbits ever had a bad fall? I usually take him to a really good rabbit-savvy vet but as it's quite far from me and he just needed a vaccination I took him to my old vets which was just down the road. I'm so annoyed with them i'm never going back again. :evil: Should I take him to get checked over tomorrow?! How would I tell if he had fractured his back or leg?? Help!!
