My rabbit, Oreo, had a broken leg in August. The vet put him on meloxicam and cage rest, and he seemed to be doing well. In January, he started having issues with the leg again, holding it up and not using it much. The X-rays showed a lot of bone loss since the original fracture. The vet is hesitant to amputate, as she doesn’t have a lot of experience with front leg fractures, and the few she’s done....the bunnies had balance issues and had to be PTS.
Anyone have experience with front leg amputations that had a good outcome?
 
Can you tell if he's in pain?
