I've got this gray dutch baby, that we aren't sure what happened to her. her sister is absoluetly fine. The messed up baby, Silver, isn't in pain that we can tell. We'd take her to the vets, but our rabbit savvy vet is out for a couple of weeks. We were starting to think that the fine baby, Comet, was fostered to another litter, and Silver stayed with Lana. Lana raised only the one baby and Silver got all the milk and was over fed. THat's what another breeder told us but somehow I don't know if I believe that or not. Comet is a third the size, but was fostered into another dutch litter(Lana's not the best mommy according to her breeders, I think she'd have been fine) and her legs aren't messed up.
That's Silver and her legs. Now i can bend them back into place and I've held them there for five to ten minutes and then let her go and she hops around like this, but we aren't sure still.
That's Comet(the smaller one) and Silver together. So you can see she's fine, other than tiny. Both are only 4 weeks old.(I expected something between their sizes for 4 weeks. I've got 2.5 week olds bigger than Comet and smaller than Silver).
LIke I said, we'd take her to the vet, but our rabbit savvy one is out for a few weeks and the others aren't *that* rabbit savvy enough for me to trust taking her in to them. Nothing feels broken, I've palpated her from her shoulder blades to her toes and it just feels like she's too fat and her legs couldn't support that weight as she was growing up. That was why she got weaned early.
Any Ideas?
