Hey guys, im new to this forum so bear with me! My gorgeous female netherland drawf rabbit leaped out of my arms on Tuesday and fell quite horridly. We rushed her to the emergency vets as ours were shut and he was awful with her He picked her up by the ears and pulled so hard she struggled like mad, then he pinned her down to the table and moved her leg all over and said its a possible fracture and gave her a shot of pain relief and that was that. We were not happy at all and took her to our normal vets the next day where the vet was so gentle with her and said she can feel 'something' up her leg. So she took her in, sedated her (after a good few attempts as Bo is very very stubborn) and x-rayed her. Later that day it was confirmed she had fractured her hind leg quite high up, and we were given 3 options....
.....Cage Confinement for 6 weeks.......Specialist surgery that is a 50/50% success, which is a 2 hour drive away......or amputate!!
We have decided to give Bo a chance as the vet said she is very compact and muscley on her legs. We dont care if it does heal wonky, it just adds character!! She is on daily pain relief and is eating and drinking absolutely fine. she is hopping about in her cage with her poorly leg tucked up
I was wondering if anyone can give some helpful advice on aiding her through this tough time. Her mate Mo is always with her and wont leave her, so she has a cage companion. We obviously give her her pain relief, and put hot water bottles next to their cage to ease the pain and keep them warm.
Has anyone had a similar if not same experience?
