  Hi all
  Wonder if this community can help. We are new to owning rabbits and our baby bunny is 12 weeks old. She has a suspected torn ligament in her back left leg. We know it is not splayed leg or fractured or broken.
  
  The vet is suggesting a splint and bandage for 3/4 weeks. Any advice? Should we do the splint, shall we see if it would heal naturally.
  
  See picture which shows leg sticking out.
  
  Thanks in advance Mijo

  A splint and bandage sounds good to me. I gather the vet believes the ligament is partly ruptured, otherwise I think they’d suggest surgery. The bun should not hop around too much these next few weeks, so cage rest will probably be necessary.
  
  Your picture is not showing, I will send you a PM to see if we can fix that.
