Arg - I was in such shock I didn't even think about asking... I will call them today. I have a pineapple - would that help in the meantime? I won't get to my vet office (assuming the have probiotic?) until late afternoon. I've read online about giving horse probiotic paste --- is that good? Or...

Lol- I know right! When I saw the X-rays his poor little bones were going every which way, yet all stuck together :x looked like someone played pick up sticks. I would have freaked if I opened it and saw that! I completely agree, the little bugger pulled out all the cards that would help him...

:( Just got back from the vet. They did two X-rays, his foot is fractured and infected from the wound down to his toes. The bone is still there, he said if Lucky chewed it off we would have heard horrible screaming. The Dr gave a Pencilllin G injection and prescribed Tramadol, Enrofloxacin...

Thank you Miss M I am so new to everything I don't know if I have the capabilities to do a surgery type procedure. :( I am going to take him to the vet and see if they will work with me, harder to say no to someone in person than over the phone - if they won't, the scales of putting him down...

I am also a beginner that loves (LOVES) animals. I live in a food desert, where there is not a lot of options for fresh food from farms. Last year we visited friends in Utah and they about died when we excitedly told them we paid five dollars for five ears of sweet corn (GMO free) - they said...

So :( Don't hate me - but I haven't done it yet. - I fully respect and value your advice Dood and Miss M - please don't think that I don't <3 Last night we took him out to do it, but the wound looked totally different. There is still obvious infection, but I guess that bone looking thing was not...

Seriously sucks. I'm crying just thinking about it. My husband will put him down tonight because I can't. :'( Valuable lesson, always touch and feel the rabbit you are purchasing. I knew this before, but in the moment I shrugged it off I guess...and the breeder seemed nice, so. I'm going to...

Here is Opie - he plays "dead rabbit" 90% of the day- or so it seems lol.

:( Yeah I kinda figured that's how it looked. Ugh darn it. I definitely learned that you cant just look at the rabbit when buying - it's a good idea to touch and feel to make sure. I even thought that even if I did have it amputated, he is a large breed and it could lead to problems down the...

ahhhhhhhhhhhh :( I spoke too soon :( Tonight I went to clean it up and more skin was just pulling off and there was/is nasty white cheese like stuff under - which I am sure is an infection. The swollen area is warm too :( errrg. I cut away as much dead skin as I could and cleaned away as much...

Good news :) The swelling is going down! Whoo hooo!! I was nervous that I was going to have to drain whatever it was :x but it looks so much better today. The bone is almost covered, just a little bit more to go :) Miss M - Just like you said, he has turned into a lover bunny, he just lays...

His temp is so far normal and he is still hopping around, eating and drinking. I soak his foot (leg) in a bowl of chlorhexidine mix for 20 min. dry him off, then put Nu-Stock on. Today I loosely wrapped his ankle with pet wrap, he seems to be leaving it alone. I also give him .05mls of...

Thank you Miss M and Akane. I will go get Nu-Stock and chlorhexidine tomorrow. I just watched a youtube video onthe chlorhexidine so I was hopi g that would help too, glade to hear it will. I know butchering him will be the easy and fast (/less expensive) route, but I'll give it a go on...

I went down to Arizona and got some baby new zealands. When I got them home, that night I saw the black broken buck had a wound on his back foot. I asked all the breeders I know their advice, and they say to butcher him and get a new buck. I feel bad because he is 8 1/2 weeks old and I kinda...
