If I had her young enough to go that route I would have tried that. It seems like it's worth it to try. Unfortunately for her she was at the "breeders" and then a pet store.

It's been a while but I thought I'd let everyone know how Gimpy is doing. She is fantastic! After we took her radiographs it was pretty evident that there were no corrective measures to be taken and it was decided aftera great deal of consideration that the best option for her long-term was to...

For anyone who wants an up date I'm south for the month of February and therefore back in the land of bunny vets. I brought my buns with me and Gimpy has her spay and leg amputation booked for this Wednesday. I'm nervous but excited. I really think it needs to be done for her to live the fullest...

I should clarify. I'm not looking for a vet. I'm looking for numbers. I don't need to know what animals are going to vets I need to know how many of each species per year. I will look at contacting the CVO. Thanks everybody. :)

I've been looking for some stats and have been highly UNsuccessful. I was hoping someone out there would be able to steer me in the right direction. What I'm looking for is information on the types of animals seen by veterinarians (in Canada mostly but the US would work as well). I'm...

Wow what a beautiful colour! He's very striking. :)

Wow Flash! I just want to say I read some of your blog and you have done some fantastic rescue work. You should be very proud of yourself! Stay strong and keep caring.:)

That makes much more sense to me. Thank you. I have done some dissection and performed cat neuters but there are no spays under my belt so far. Although I can see where you're coming from in this case I feel should explain her situation a bit more. She seems to be propped up on her splayed...

Yes I agree it will cause problems, I just don't follow the logic of it causing organ damage in particular. Forgive me for trying to understand what is going on with my rabbit, but I'm not one to take what's given at anyones word. If it doesn't make sense to me I will always challenge and look...

Sorry to hear about that. :( Back to the organ issue though. I don't see how you can equate a quadrupedal animal with a splayed limb to a biped with a bent over position. Maybe it's just because I haven't seen many splays but it's not quite as extreme. She really doesn't situate herself...

That would be great. I'm curious as to how it would actually put pressure on her organs as she doesn't seem to lean at all. It's almost like it props her in anupright position, but it seems to be twisting some days and she's sporadically sensitive about it. It's frustrating because I feel...

I'm considering amputation as an option because from what I can see it is getting worse. I'd like to give her as much of a chance as possible as early as possible. However, where I am living now it is very unlikely I can find a vet who will be comfortable performing that kind of surgery on a...

Ok, I can't figure it out. Here's a link to a picture of her elsewhere. Her leg actually doesn't look too bad in this picture. http://www.dailypuppy.com/member/9b9e2bc0d0/album/56774/photo/708119

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back. I'm in school full time and working part time so I don't have a lot of spare time. Haha! I have seen the splints before but I was under the impression those were meant to be a semi-corrective measure for rabbits that were still growing. I don't see...

Hello all, you may remember me from when I was trying to find a home for a couple of bunnies. Well, I absolutely could not part with my boy (he turned 5 this september) but Lady went home with a school friend who decided after only a couple months that she really loved her and didn't want her...

For anyone concerned, I have good news. Lady (the female lop) is going home with a friend of mine this weekend who is super excited to get her, very interested in learning about her and had never considered a rabbit as a pet before. She's already learned a lot and plans on spending a lot of time...

That is actually a great idea that I never would have thought of! But, good news. My older male who I'm really bonded with is going to stay with me (which is good cause I'll have a really hard time parting with him) and just downsize a bit and my girl is going home with a friend who is going...

I would absolutely NEVER surrender them. I'm looking for a good home. They will never go to a shelter no matter what. The only way they're leaving me is if they're going somewhere better.

It isn't a money problem. I would sacrifice my own food first if that were the case. As for the foster thing, I could try it, but I think it'll be just as hard as finding a new home.

They are not getting the attention and out of pen exercise they used to. It's just all around subpar care. I've been giving them less veggies and more pellets than usual, less one-on-one time. It's not a situation I'm happy with and not a situation that's fair to them and it's going to get worse...
