I had started a different thread about my rabbit having an ear infection and being really thin. Well I have realized she got so thin because one of her back legs isn't working correctly. At first she was so weak she couldn't move much so my local vet didn't even really look at her back leg on the first visit. So I made a 3 hour trip from home and back to take her to a rabbit experienced vet. She said it felt like White Foot has broken or fractured her knee cap?? But she didnt' do any x-rays and refered us to go to the state college. That would require 3 or 4 ( maybe 5) different 6 hour trips( there and back) and I'm getting annoyed that they couldn't even let us see a rabbit vet if we take her to the first appointment. (She gets handled my students, great they could damage her even more maybe..my worry anyway) So we took her back to the local vet to have both back legs x-rayed and since he doesn't see a whole lot of rabbits her thinks she may have cracked her femur right above the knee?? I have attached a copy of her x-rays and will upload a video link to my youtube video of her moving around. Can some on tell me what is wrong with her leg and if I can just wrap it or sling it myself to get her leg back working correctly?? Your help is appreciated.
