Hi, I need some advice.
I opened the hutch for my 5.5 year old Dwarf Lop Maisy and her Partner Worm to have there usual run of the garden this morning, and to my horror I noticed that Maisy was draging her hind legs. I obviously assumed the worse that she had broken her back and would need to be put to sleep. I took her down the vets straight away.
The vet looked at her legs and said that she still has feeling in her legs and she demonstrated this by scrunching up her back paw and it was slowly releasing to normal, she also showed signs of wanting to hop. she was given an anti-inflamatory injection, I was told to bring her home and monitor her for 24 hours, if I do not see any improvement then I need to take her back to the vets ans she may have to be put down.
She has been pooing (small ones), eating and drinking but I dont believe that she is urinating. Ive tried to stimulate urination with warm cotton but again this is not working.
Does anyone have advice?
Thanks Jody
