I've had the call from Fhb.....she said they had to go no further than x-rays. They found a congenital defect in her spine which is obvious.
She said she was putting the ball back in my court about pts or not. In her opinion she is not in pain and it's a miracle she has ever hopped at all and can still get about as well as she does. She said the decision to pts cannot be reversed but if we don't give her a chance we will never know and if there is a worsening in her condition then we can makethe decision later.
I feel so sad for her that she has always had this and is only so young, we said we want to give her a fighting chance because she has fought so hard herself and is still happy and her usual lively self.
Do you think i'm doing the right thing keeping her going???
also makes me wonder now how our vets haven't seen this from their x-rays :?
She also said they have never given a rabbit a cart before but they could try for her if we decided we wanted one
Sorry to hear your sad news , but I suppose atleast in one way you now know what you are dealing with and can move on?! I'm so sorry for you and your bunny though whilst so young
I think you will make the right decision, if she seems happy and not in pain then I don't think it does any harm to delay the decision as FHB says? and give it a go being a disabled bun for a while. I don't think you have to make a decision now
Perhaps standard Xrays would not show this up? Didn't they do a special type of Xray? Most standard Xrays tend to show just bony mass - if it was soft-tissue or neurological it may not have appeared on these originally. Sending lots of get well wishes your way and strength for you to make your decisions, am sure your bunny knows you love her
