After some advice please! I have a 8 1/2 year old rabbit called Snoopy who has pretty much lost use of his back legs and the vet isn’t sure why, possibly spinal damage. He still seems happy and there has been no change to his personality, he is eating and drinking as normal and he does move about a lot just mostly using his front legs. He isn’t on pain medication at the moment as it made no difference, we are 99% sure there is no pain as he shows no signs of discomfort or pain. We haven’t been using sawdust we are putting puppy pads and towels in his cage (he’s an indoor rabbit) and we have cut down the side of his cage so he can get in and out. We are also regularly bathing him and have cut off some fur on the side he is always lying on to help avoid wee burns ect. The vet is still trying to convince us to have him PTS to the point we actually booked the appointment for today before changing our minds last night as we feel like we can’t give up on him. There is no chance of recovery, he will be disabled for the rest of his life. The vet wants us to have him PTS on grounds of poor quality of life but I don’t feel like he does have poor quality of life but I’m not sure if emotions are impacting my judgment, just wondering is anyone else has any experience with disabled rabbits and if people think we are doing the right think keeping him alive
Thank you!
