I noticed yesterday that one of my bunnies from the accidental litter wasn't walking properly, but every now and again he was putting weight on it, and even stretching his leg out, he was eating and drinking and pooping and didn't seem in any pain, so I kept him in overnight to limit the space he had to prevent him from making it worse. I rang up the vets at 8.30 this morning and took him and Furby (the other male, as they are separated from their sisters) and the vet who we saw (who is amazing) has had a feel and said he's either dislocated or broken his leg
I burst into tears then and there because I feel like I let Smooch down, and should've taken him yesterday, but the vet said that they probably wouldn't have been able to X-ray him or anything anyway, and I had done the right thing by restricting his space and bringing him in.
So Smooch is now at the vets having a GA (which is a risk on it's own) so he can have an x-ray. I'm expecting a call later this afternoon. I know Smooch is in the very best hands, and I'm SO glad I got the vet who I wanted to see, but still, I cant help but blame myself for Smooch's pain, and he's just so small and fragile
Anyway, none of my family really understand how upsetting it is, but I know a lot of people on this forum have been in a similar position, so if anyone has any spare vibes for my Smooch, then they would be very much appreciated xxxxx
