Has BB got Scoliosis? His spine looks like it's deviating off-centre a bit
I'm new to bunnies but it looks painful. Are they ok otherwise? x

Lily has a weakness in one back leg.I try to keep her between 700 and 750 grams else she topples over alot.Ian is happy with her body condition and BB is looking really well.Lily tends to drape herself over him....I think they are both commfortable.

That's fascinating! We think our Squidgy had some sort of curvature of the spine, but never had x-rays done on him. I wish we had in a way, as it must be nice to see what's going on inside your bunnies.
They are obviously thriving in your care, and their bodies have adapted well to cope. Thanks for sharing these.

Interesting.
I will more than likely have a similar X-Ray of my Inca soon, she has been holding her leg funny recently. She has been on Metacam to see if that helps, but it doent seem to be changing anything. She is running about and seems ok, but just holding her leg very funny. She is deformed at her back end, so i am thinking her curved spine is the issue. Phoning to arrange an x-ray tomorrow.
Can you tell me, did your two need GA for the X-rays, or is it just a sedative?

GAs.....BB was having his plums off whilst under, and as Ian knows Lils and Beebs are siblings, he did a freebee to see if they both had the same condition.
I own up to not putting Lily under another GA to be speyed....Im so scared I will lose her as she suffers from respiratory problems too.

See, that's what i am worried about, my Inca has had so many things wrong with her and i am worried that a GA would take her from me. But then i see her sitting with her leg almost folded right under her and out the other side and think that she can't be ok like that
It is hard to make the decision, because right now (apart from this leg) she is doing the best she has since she came to me, but then i don't want to leave the leg and then something worse transpires!

Rock and a hard place.
Could you not ask for a sedative???? Is it possible??
I asked for a sedative for Lily.....I dont know what she had.But I was like a cat on hot bricks........

Yep, I thought I had said something dreadful to you:lol:
How old are they? I really hope all their relatives are neutered as this can't be a nice thing for anyone/bun to go through
Speaking from experience with Tiesto, she had to have an xray and it was found she had what is similar to a slipped/prolapsed disc in humans (The gap between two of her vertebra is too small.) (Just like my O/h:shock Now I know, you can see by the way she held her head and didn't periscope so much plus the increasing cases of Ileus, that she had pain issues with her spine.I am so amazed with how much these little creatures can deal with. "Give me a crazy spine or a chest with pus oozing or teeth growing where ever they so choose fine, but just don't give me an extra pellet or I will deffo die:shock:"
I just don't get them
