    rabbit has a broke leg

    we have a pet rabbit named thumper we were given that was won at the fair by a family who did not want her.she was a cute little thing.she stays on our closed in front porch.mama was bringing some stuff in late saturday night after christmas and closed thumper leg in the door.i had to find a vet that would see rabbits.the two vets i use does not see rabbits but refered me to a vet that did.i took her over there monday and the leg was broke.they set it and put a splint on it and she came home the next day.i had to take her for a check up on her leg tuesday.the vet said she was moving around to much in her room so i had to dig out the large dog carrier and put her in it in the livingroom so she wounld not be alone all the time.she looks so funny and it looks so uncomfortable.i always bring her in if it drops below 40 degrees.i know cold makes broke bones hurt worse so i can not put her in her pen on the front porch.we are having record temps for southeast georgia.she goes back to the vet tomorrow for her two week checkup on the leg.i am afraid she has some rough days ahead of her.have a goodnight.

    thanks dottie,

    she went to the vet for a check on her leg two weeks ago on tuesday and they said she was moving around to much so i cleaned up our big dog carrier and put her in it in the livingroom so she would not be alone.this past tuesday she went for another check and they said it was healing well and to bring her back in two weeks and they are going to x-ray the leg and she may be able to get her splint off.i will keep yall posted.she weighs ten pounds.the vet said she was a big rabbit.have a goodnight

    thumper went back to the vet wensday and they took the cast off her leg but she has to stay in the dog carrier for two more weeks.my husband has been sick so he stayed home thursday and friday.i had to go to the bowling alley thursday morning and when i got back thumper was not in her dog carrier.my husband let her out and she was laying under the table in her favorite place.she went back to the carrier after dark and we closed it up for the night.we let her out for a little while today.she is not using her leg so i am going to call the vet tomorrow and ask them about it.she weighs eleven pounds now.have a goodnight.
