I posted several months back about the show Cali who had the severely broken leg, and ended up with me. Russell ended up putting some some rods and pins in, but I think due to the severity of the break, and where it was, it just never healed right, and we were constantly having to monitor it, keep it clean and debrided, and him on antibiotics. For his age, an almost year old Cali, he is the size of a 5 to 6 month old.
I honestly expected everyday to wake up and find him dead. He use to be Bruce Lee, because he looked like he was doing a karate Kick with his cast then splint..but I took to calling him Sweetness cause his cage is right next to my bedroom, and I see him when I get up, and when I go to bed.."Good Morning Sweetness"...and "Good Night Sweetness"..with nose pets, ear rubs and a kiss.
3 weeks ago he really started gnawing on the leg..so we took him in to see Russell's dad. The leg was removed. There were a couple of days he looked rather rough, and again I expected him to pass, so I layered on the treats, but his appetite was voracious, so amazingly, he perked up after about 3 days..he didn't want to be touched for about a week..now its back to nose nudgings and ear rubs..
And running..jeebus.. who knew a 3 legged rabbit could haul tail like that. I will get some video of it for you all.
I hope I am not tempting fate by posting about him, because I have posted about bunnies in the past, and then.. well yanno.. but I just had to share!
I will say, the moving stump kinda weirds me out thou..
