:( Another broken leg...

[yvette]

Im well shocked at no pain relief.Rabbits hide feelings well.Hope Bun will be ok.

Well the vet rang a few hours ago and spoke to my dad, said the orthopaedic surgeon would charge at least £500, but he was going to send him the x-rays to find out more, so will hear back either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. My dad forgot to ask about pain relief so I rang the vets back straight away, but the receptionist said he was with a patient, but would get him to phone back. It's been almost 2 hours I think and he hasn't yet, so will ring again.

I think its utterly disgraceful that any Vet would see fit to deny pain relief to a Rabbit with a fractured leg.
If it were me I'd be putting in a formal complaint of malpractice to the RCVS

When Elwood broke his leg he was on opiate pain relief for 3 days

Where is the orthopaedic surgeon based? Is s/he rabbit savvy?

PS I would be tempted to suggest you break vet's leg and then ask them if they are happy with no pain relief. But of course that would be irresponsible of me to even think it.

AFAIK we can still THINK what we like in this country, we just cant always say it
