    Broken leg...options?

    No Sweetie, I am not. Since you are not a vet I understand your concern. However, you also do not know this particular situation or why the vet recommended this. He is a very good vet and knows what he is doing actually. I spent nearly an hour with him going over what would happen in each...

    Broken leg...options?

    She is a Lionhead, or maybe a mix...but mostly Lionhead. And she is a love! She's thoroughly exhausted right now, we just returned from the 3rd vet visit in 3 days. The "Miracle Doc" loved her. He quoted me $1200 - $1500 for the pinning surgery, and said he would absolutely NOT recommend...

    Three month old (about) rabbit diet?

    My bunny is about 6 months, maybe a bit younger and she has been eating limited greens for a couple months now. She loves green leaf lettuce, kale and cilantro. She won't touch much fruit other than a bit of banana once in a while which she goes CRAZY over. I have her on unlimited alfalfa...

    Broken leg...options?

    I am going to ask the vet about ice/heat, but in the event that she stays for surgery it won't matter. I don't want to try it without knowing if it's a good idea, or if she'd tolerate it. The Metacam is really helping her and we have an appointment in 5 hours which will determine what happens...

    Broken leg...options?

    I so hope not to have to Critical Care her ever again! She has started eating on her own again since the flop, I don't know how much but it's an improvement over the amount earlier. I'm leaving her alone though, since I just stress her out when I go into her cage (she's actually friendly in her...

    Broken leg...options?

    Thank you :biggrin2: I was being facetious really though, just because I was happy that bunny is flopping. And as for talking to her...yes, I do...but she really has no interest in anything I have to say. Especially now. Much as I TRY to explain that I am doing this for her own good, and it...

    Broken leg...options?

    I actually had her on the floor between my legs as I was kneeling. So she couldn't back up, which she was trying to do when just left alone and using the syringe. But, she still wriggled, and jumped. I just can't subject her to that when not much gets into her anyway from it. Like I said, we...

    Broken leg...options?

    As an aside...I seriously (not really!) want to know what is IN that Metacam! I might want to take some myself! She just FLOPPED!! And ON that leg too. My brother might be able to lend me some money in addition to the Care Credit, especially if they will take payments (doubt that but it's...

    Broken leg...options?

    I'll go for whichever one the vet recommends tomorrow, providing I can afford either. He isn't an emergency vet thankfully, so *maybe* he won't be as expensive as your clinic was. It'll be the VCA hospital in Santa Monica though, and that city isn't exactly known for being inexpensive. So I'm...

    Broken leg...options?

    I'm in southern CA. She is confined to her cage but she has to move a bit to eat/pee/poop/drink...but I am trying to surround her with everything she needs so she doesn't need to move more than a couple inches. But this is why I don't want to syringe feed her anymore...she struggled SO hard. And...

    Broken leg...options?

    She was at the emergency vet, they can't do anything except give her meds. The other "rabbit vet" that I saw can only amputate but was too busy to give me a quote. The "good" rabbit vet is being seen tomorrow....but...$3,000? Really? I cannot afford it. I just can't. Maybe half of that, but not...

    Broken leg...options?

    Here is her x-ray showing the really badly placed break. It can't be taped, splinted, bandaged or casted...

    Broken leg...options?

    I had no idea Critical Care came in flavors! I will have to check and see....nope, it is the Apple/Banana one. I've had her eating veggies up until yesterday, now she won't touch them (even Kale or Cilantro which are her favorites). The only thing she seems to WANT to eat is her sisal toy ball...

    Broken leg...options?

    Hi all, I have a 6 month bunny with a broken right hind leg. We had xrays done this morning. I thought she had a sprain up until last night! She was hopping around, playing, eating, pooping...just favoring the leg somewhat. Yesterday afternoon she was only nibbling at hay and refused her...

    Cinnabun

    She is spayed, and 5 months old as of April 2013. She is a Lionhead, and broken colored. I've had her since she was about 8 weeks old.

    Cat on couch, rabbit wants to check it out...bad idea?

    I have 2 cats, both older (14 & 15) and neither particularly were thrilled by my bringing home a rabbit. I've had the bunny for 3 months now and the cats are intrigued completely by her when she is in her pen or cage. When she is out though is another story! Neither exhibit any interest in...
