Mama Doe
8pm on Tuesday Night, we were cleaning the bunnies out and let noodle have a run on the grass. She jumped down off the run (2ft) which she always does, ran a meter or two... did a HUUUUUUGEEEE binky- but landed funny and immediately tried to chew her leg and fell over....
I saw she was limping (right hind leg). Rang vets who said would be £100 out of hours. Spoke to my mom who said she probably just sprained it. She is fit as a fiddle and only 6 months old so I didnt expect her to have damaged herself.
Gave her some metacam which I had in and put her in tiny cage overnight but she was eating loads as usual and apart from carrying her leg- she was her usual self.
Wednesday we took her to the vet who said it looked dislocated but we would need an xray so we booked an Xray for this morning (Thursday)
Got a call at 2pm they said it was dislocated but also broken, and there were little bits of bone about so they wouldnt plaster / splint. Amputation or PTS was only option.
Vet gave me 45 minutes to decide before it was too late to book the surgery
I came on here- looked up amputation and saw a few people with successful amputees.So we chose that.
She has the op tomorrow. So scared. Would hate her to die. Her sister twiglet misses her so much.
Op is costing £650 :shock::shock: so far with the Xrays we barely had the money but have to take the chance on her. She is worth it.
Please send vibes. I dont know what we will do if she doesnt make it.
Any experience of amputees would be appreciated.
Its my birthday tomorrow too, all I want is for her to pull through......
Please send love to her
