Anyone else got a bun with front legs that splay outwards and walk on the sides of their feet or ankle bone?
Meg's splay legs are getting worse. The vet warned that this would happen because the muscles/tendons tend to tighten up and make the condition worse over time.
The vet can't give us a timescale as to fast it will progress because she's seen cases where the rabbit has remained mobile and healthy for years, and at the other end of the scale has seen it progress so quickly that the rabbit developed sores and lost mobilty and had to be pts within 6 months.
We suspect that Meg was probably born with the condition. She's still quite young (probably between 1-2 years old) and is a big girl at 3.5kg, which probably doesn't help her condition.
