Rabbit Broke his leg

tickledpinkfair

Hey all

I'm really upset over my bunny hes 12 weeks old or there abouts. The other day he hurt is leg and to be honest I have no idea how he did it. Anyway I brought him to the vet on Saturday and was told to bring him back today so hes gone in for an xray on his back leg. The vet said because he is an albino that he has a weaker immune system. This is worrying me as well.
Does anybody have previous experience with rabbits with broken legs that can advise me?
Do you think he will survive the anesthetic especially cos he has snuffles as well at the moment? Is snuffles going around as I saw another posters rabbit had it as well.

And lastly I know this shouldn't be an issue but will his care cost me a fortune, I have been quoted €120 for the xray alone if he needs surgery as well!?! oh I'm really stressed out over this

Sorry to hear about your rabbit, check out this website it may help, also do not be afraid to get a second opinion from a different vet, and make sure your vet or whatever vet you use specialises in small animal surgery.

Keep the leg stabilized. With any luck, the blood supply of the leg has not been damaged, and it will heal uneventfully.

Hope all goes well
