RE: my rabbit has a broken leg
my rabbit broke its leg today, i was picking him and he jumped out of my arms and fell on the ground. he started walking funny and i
freaked out. took him to the vet and he gave me all sorts of optionsafter hearing which i wanted to cry.he said he'd try to put a cast on
him and see how it goes but it could be awkward given the shape of their legs. they might have to operate on him to pin his leg but that
could cost hundreds of pounds, whichi can't afford. he saidtreatment basicallycomes down to money, if i can't afford an operation then
there's the option of euthanasia. my rabbit's only 23 weeks old:( not to mention the fact that i absolutely adore him, but he's just a
baby! i'm really hoping the cast will do its job.
keep me posted on the progress of ur bunny tiaba, it'll give me some hope
RE: my rabbit has a broken leg
Well I said I'd keep everyone posted..
Today my mom and I took my rabbit into the vet to see if she needed a new cast since it became loose because the swelling went away. Well she was lucky enough to get the cast taken off. That's right, her leg is healed! She only had to wear the cast for 9 days. The vet just said to keep her in the aquarium for at least another week so she can get used to walking on her foot again. She's doing good. Being very friendly as usual and eating like her normal self.
RE: my rabbit has a broken leg
hiya tiabia,
i am so glad that your little bunny has survived the trials of a broken leg. my daughters bunny had a broken leg a few months ago, he was at the vets having his nails clipped and he is very shy so struggled when being held and he banged his leg. it broke. the vets paid for all treatment except analgesia and pain relief.
bunny had a splint that was assessed and changed weekly or fornightly and after eight weeks he was mended. had a scare part way through as he became constipated due to inactivity as we had to make sure he didn't move about much. he became chesty aswell. but the vet was very good and sorted him out.
he is back to his normal bouncy and mischievous self. he is so cute and we are sure that he thinks that he is a dog.
glad to hear of your success story too. they are so precious and soon become a part of the family.
love dawnymariexxx
