epsom salt and soaking a rabbits foot?

I have been told to soak, Pepe's foot in epsom salt for a few days. I have never heard of this at all and do not want to rule it out in case it does work.
I have posted before that, Pepe, one morning was holding his leg up and couldn't put his paw to the floor. It is now going onto 2 months. He had x rays and three vets look at him. They cannot find anything wrong. All they can do is give pain killer. He cannot take Metacam & he had a reaction to Rimifin. When he has a pain killer he stops eating and pooping straight away and takes nearly a week to get back eating. I am at my wits end and don't know what to do any more. I am syringe feeding again and I have tried every food there is. He is losing weight again and all the vet wants to do is blood test, scans and drips. They did this with Candy and I knew it was her kidneys and they did blood test, heart and stomach scans and said they didn't know what it was until they did the test test three days later and her kidney test was very high and she went on the drip and had blood test for the next two days and then I lost her. I don't trust vets any more and I know that sounds bad but they can't find what is wrong. I know he must of jumped of his box and landed on his leg in a bad way.

Now I have been told to soak his paw in epsom salts. Anyone tried this?

Very strange! No I've never been advised to use Epsom salts :?

Why don't you want the tests done?

Has he been treated for EC?

Maybe it is a ligament problem which would not show up on Xray, it'd need an MRI scan.

Which leg is it ?

Humans use epsom salts for soaking their feet, to relieve aches and pains, and also to increase their magnesium levels, as epsom salts are magnesium sulfate. I've not heard of this for rabbits or any other animals though.

Thank you for replying. Pepe as already had two bleed test done this year and nothing showed up. It is his front left leg and I thought it might be a ligament problem. They haven't mentioned EC at all. I will look it up now. Thanks again.

Sorry I forgot to add, When this happened, myself and the vet could touch all around his leg and he didn't mind that at all but when I got back home with him, I felt all around his leg but when I touched his nail at the end of his paw he nearly jumped out of my arms. That is where the pain is. I took him back to the vets and told him and he did the same again.
