hello,
i was just looking up surgery prices for rabbits in google,when i found this forum,and ur thread.
first of all,i want to congratulate u & ur little bunny,that the healing went ok. 🙂
second,my rabbit was chased by a dog yesterday,and she(the rabbit),i dont know,twisted,or broke her leg,because she cant walk properly.. we went to the vets,but it was about 10 o;clock,and we had to go for emergency,which costs 120 pounds. my mum said we will come back tomorrow( well,today.) but im afraid. what if my rabbit needs surgery,which we cant afford? (i read that i costs from 500,to 1500 pounds.) .. my mum would never pay for it. is there a cheaper way,to get my rabbit healthy again?
thanks..
i didnt realise that rabbits had such delicate legs. poor little things. i suggest insurance for all pets. vets charges are very expensive. i would re-mortgage my house rather than loose my babies but then not everyone is the same. always try an animal charity if they cannot help directly they may be able to give u advice.

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.
Hi guys my rabbit broke his back leg today took him to the vet's and the vet was going to put him down but they have now put a cast on his leg and said I should take him back next Friday for a check up. I really dont want to lose him so what is the best thing to do so his leg get's better? Should i confine his movement e.c.t please help
It may sound wacky but positive thought can work wonders.
If the vets are optimistic then build on that. Keep positive thought that the limb can and will heal. There are countless examples of positive thought producing a genuine healing and it is not just wishful thinking there is an actual science behind it.
