I took my rabbit to the vet today for an injured foot. Turns out he injured his ankle, likely between 10 and 12 days ago while we were on vacation, and the bone is sticking out from under his foot! Here are the options we've received from the vet:
1.) cast it and see what happens
2.) get surgery to grind down the bone so it no longer sticks out (expensive, and bunny will likely not have good ankle function)
3.) get surgery to pin the bone in place by threading wires through the foot bones. This is very expensive, and the vet appeared to develop this option on the spot and it didn't sound very thought through...
Bunny is on antibiotics and anti inflammatories.
We don't have a lot of funds, and don't know what to do. I love this animal so much
