My wee Rosie landed funny yest afternoon, and has spent the night at the vets. She appears to be paralysed from just behind front paws, could drag herself around but no movement or feeling - vet jagged her whole way down the back - didnt flinch. We agreed to leave her there on pain killers and see how she is today. No xray done yet, (unfortunately it can come down to costs) but Vet has said it may nerve damage. We have more or less three options, have her put to sleep if no improvement overnight, xray her and if back broke, have her put to sleep, or if she has perked up a bit vet will try to arrange for us to look after her at home - however no matter what there is a VERY good chance she wont get use of her back legs back. My question - is that fair on the rabbit??
Is is feasable for a rabbit to live with only the use of her front paws - she has a mate who is missing her terribly (he hasnt eaten since last night) so decisions have to made with him in mind as well.
I dont want to keep her going when she is living out her life in pain, but if she can still be here and be happy I would find a way of making their house invalid friendly.
