Parker's hock was aspirated and a small amount of infection was found. So, Parker was put on pain medication and antibiotics. He never regained full use of his left leg, but that hasn't stopped him from being a happy binky bunny. Thank you for actively watching the videos. :)
Yes animals have amazing adaptive ability! so, after treatment...the swelling and pain subsided? do you know if there is anyway to help him use his leg again ?(physical therapy for rabbits 0_0?)
Physical therapy was discussed as it has been beneficial to other rabbits, but the severe damage to his Tarsal bones and Calcaneal tuber negates the chances of a measurable recovery through physical therapy. The Tarsals were essentially "crushed", therefore there was nothing to act in resistance to the constant pull of the tendon.
That is really neat how they could get the xray without anesthesia...my vets always use it, and that adds to the cost. For something like this: where you know the foot is what needs it, that seems like a great idea!
Thank you for the educational videos! so what treatment will this rabbit get?
