My rabbit recently got GI stasis. i have been taking her to the vet several times. She seemed to have been getting better.And started eating again. The first vet told me her teeth were fine but I took her to a different vet and they said her teeth had i think she said an infection. Last night i had picked her up to feed her with a syringe that I feed her on the counter. She freaked out and jumped past my shoulder and landed on the ground. She started limping and i took her to the emergency vet that was two hours away. They said the knee cap is dislocated and they did not take xray.She started to walk on it and the vet said to watch her but that she popped the knee back in place but that it wasnt staying on its own. The only way to fix it is surgically. I cannot afford 1,000$ or more. I have been crying all last night and today. I dont know what to do and I dont want her to be in pain. She was given pain medicine again,and was already on pain medicine when she jumped.Please help

When I asked her how much the surgery would cost she said she doesnt know. I said I dont have 1000 $ and she said it will probl;ably be more than that. I had wondered if they could fix it with a cast but I guess not because she said that wouldnt work. I can get a second opinion it is just a long drive from where I live.There is only one exotic where I live and they are closed during the weekends.
