Oh my...I am so sorry. Beautiful bunny.

Got a call from my husband. The Vet was horrified. Both hips completely broken, front leg broken in two places, and setting improperly. According to the vet, this little guy was in a tremendous amount of pain. Massive sore hocks on his feet. My husband said they put him down as soon as the x...

Here are a couple shots of his legs. His set-up is much nicer than shown....this is just the box they used to transport. Despite the strange position of the legs, he is quite active. Again, thank you all and please wish him luck.

@JBun! You made my morning. As I type this, my husband is taking him to the vet for a 6:30 am appt. But I did check out those links and it looks like he has splay leg. Hopefully they can fix that. ;) There is the issue of the sore hocks on his feet because he was kept on a metal floor his whole...

@Watermelons....ok..will do. Thanks.

Forgot to add I have Mupirocin 2% too, (for the sore hocks).

Hello all. Today the woman contacted me regarding the baby rabbit. She and her husband dropped him off. He is a Flemish/New Zeland mix, and is roughly 8 wks. old now. The severity of the injuries are much more complicated than I had been told. The discussion was solely based on his injuries and...

Will do!

This is NOT on you. I am so sorry this happened. I would have done exactly the same thing and followed the vet's instructions. Again...sorry.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. The woman never contacted me. I do not have her contact info., but she had mine. Hopefully all worked out for the baby.

She said the kit was eating pellets, so I assume so. I will get a more detailed account when she contacts me. Hopefully she will call this weekend, and we can get things rolling. I did not scroll the forums before I asked..I just wanted to know if there was some hope that a recovery can be...

Thank you for the fast response. Hopefully it won't be too bad, and we can splint. I'll go to the vet immediately once I have him. We'll go from there.

Hello all. My two boys (Sasquatch and Frost) are fine and happy..I'm posting because I had a conversation with a woman this morning regarding her new litter of Flemish mixes. She believes the mother stepped on one of the babies, and broke it's leg. Because I have pet/house rabbits she...

Looks like you are doing everything you can. Good luck to you and Chubby. Sorry you have to go through this.

Hi! :)

My Flemish Giant hates to be held too. Loves to be pet and groomed, super friendly...just don't pick him up. Lots of buns are that way from what I have read. It stresses them out because the survival instinct kicks in.

Hi! :D

I just want you to know, I've been checking this thread for a couple days now to see the updates. You're in my thoughts. Good luck.

Wow that's going to be nice! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Eh...I'm not going to touch what you should tell your friends because I don't know them. But in regards to the breeding: Nah...I wouldn't do it. As others have correctly stated, it's one thing to breed to improve the health and well-being of a particular breed. To breed at random is another...
