Hi
My lovely rescue bunny, Honey, suffered a fracture in her pelvis, which was causing her to lift her right leg up. The vet said to rest her and give her metacam and that this should heal by itself, although she warned that there could be some nerve damage. After a few days Honey was able to put pressure on her leg and seemed to be hopping about normally. However, I just noticed that she is no longer putting pressure on the leg and seems to be dragging it, when I touch it there seems to be no reflex or response, does this mean there is nerve damage, and what is the long term outlook? I am worried and it upsets me to see her struggling like this. She is eating drinking and pooping fine.
