New Kit
One of my bonded buns broke one of their back legs on Saturday morning, not to sure how since they both know the lay of the garden extremely well.. cutting a huge long story short, we decided to take the leg rather than put him down (don't think I could have lived with myself if I didnt give him a chance)
The surgery went ahead on Saturday night/sunday morning (if you can imagine the vet bill) His leg was amputated and stitched up fine. One vet wanted to keep him in due to his poor eating but the other one agreed with us that due to the horrible dog barking, strange environment and time away from his sister won't be doing him any good.
Brought him home at 10am this morning, as you can expect he is pretty shaken up, it has taken quite a lot of us just to get him to eat and drink through a syringe. He was mucnhing on hay and sipping from his water bowl once or twice tho.. very happy about that.
Besides from treats such as banana and syringe feeding him, any other tips? We are back at the vets at 9am (or local vet, the one who did the surgery was an emergency vet) so i'm sure she will advise us on what to do.
I'm still in shock to be honest, the sodding vet bills are £700 and rising.. never had something like this happen so its all very surreal.
