Yep, he said it was all from the splint. Dr. O'Connor was great. He had a few adjustments for our dosages, which he looked up for us. He also joked that it's nice that children's motrin comes in fruit flavours, so it's easier to get bunnies to eat it. And I forgot to mention before: The bone...

The check-up with Dr. O'Connor went well. He told us to keep up what we're doing with the baytril and the metacam. His main concern was nerve damage to Aperture's leg. The circulation is pretty good to his toes, and he's showing signs of improvement. Chances are, if he doesn't make a full...

She's a beautiful creature, and I'm sure you made her the absolutely happiest she could ever be.

I had the same problem with my little guy. He was able to jump the 3' of his box's wall. You can get a package of wire squares from Walmart for about $20. Using those squares, you can build a custom box, attaching the squares with zip-ties. Leave the bottom of the box open and place it on top of...

I'm FROM Owen Sound, but I'm currently in North Bay :)

The appointment is Monday morning. The vet we found comes highly recommended by another bunny parent. Poor little guy just wants to get out and play... in consolation, he's getting lots of parsley and carrot tops.

Thank you ladies so so so much! Aperture's leg looks less red and swollen this morning. It's still warm to touch though, and he doesn't want me handling it. We got his meds into him before breakfast salad this morning. I'm going to be calling the new vet in an hour or so to set up an...

Aperture fractured his leg, above the wrist, last week. The first split that the vet put on him fell right off. It was far too long for his leg, and he managed to kick it free. After that, northern_autumn and her wonderful partner helped me wrap his leg and immobilize the fractured part of his...

We took him to the vet this morning. It's a fractured leg. They're going to splint it. The vet said that since he's so young, his healing time shouldn't take more than four weeks, then a few weeks more after that for a full recovery. So we get him back this afternoon, and he'll have a nice new...

Update on Aperture He's still favouring the foot. He let me touch it and squeeze it this morning with no complaints. He ate all of his breakfast salad and is making lots of poops. I even managed to get him to eat some children's motrin (we crushed a piece of a tablet up, mixed it with a little...

Thanks :) NorthernAutumn is bringing me a cage to keep him in overnight so I can keep an eye on him. He know show to escape from his hutch, and doing so might make it worse. He's not making loud grinding sounds with his teeth, and he's still eating and pooing normally. I'm hoping it's just...

My bunny's a mini-lop, about three months old. I've just noticed that he's guarding his right front paw. He won't put it on the floor, and any time I try to get close enough to feel if there's a broken bone he'll poop and take off. He's still eating normally and hopping around. Should I just...

I finally have my rabbit! He's a black mini-lop named Aperture, after the science facility from the game Portal.
