Does anybody on this list know anything about Rabbits? We just got back into rabbits and were re hanging the cages today when we noticed a doe with what looked like a broken leg. No big deal we would just tape it up she won't be shown so as long as she can get around OK that would be good. When I took her out to set it, it was clear that the leg is not broken. She has either some how broken her back or pinched a nerve. She seems to be in no pain and is eating, drinking and moving around fine(at least the front end), she is also going to the bathroom ok. However bunnies seem to be like goas and just go when they go so it is hard to tell. I am thinking about stabilizing her back end in hopes she will heal up has anybody tried anything like this. As I said she does not seem to be in any distress at all and I would really like to save her if we can. BTW the nearest rabbit Dr. is at least an hour away. Thanks in advance.
