Doesn't sound much does it?
I feel rotten cos I'm not sure when it happened, possibly last night. He's got black well trimmed nails, & black fur, & he isn't limping or raising his paw, but not putting his full weight at the side.
Then I saw the nail sticking out at right angles. :shock: It's firmly attatched & the middle joint is swollen but no breach of the skin.
Yesterday he had a big flare up of his snuffles, & quite marked gut slow down.
I don't think it was broken then cos he was standing on it to clean his nostril with his other paw.
He always keeps his nose very clean so it was noticable this morning that he hadn't cleaned up.
So it's a good dose of metacam, & emergency vets tomorrow. I'm hoping he just trims the nail well back, so it doesn't catch, & leaves the GA & any surgery until there's a more experienced rabbit vet available.
We really don't need this with a snuffles bun who's already had spread of the bug throughout his system.
Poor little fella.
