Meet Bunnie

She is back home with her foster family and resting. Overall everything went well. There were a couple times her heart rate got pretty low but her heart responded very well to the medication needed to support it under anesthesia. There was not enough healthy bone for a plate so screws were used to hold everything in place. Bunnie has a long recovery ahead of her. It can take the soft tissue 2-3 weeks to heal and 8-12 weeks for bones. For the first two weeks she must be confined to a crate or small area, once her sutures are removed in 2 weeks we will begin to slowly increase her activity.

Bunnie went for her initial vet visit yesterday. Bunnies pelvis is broken in 3 places and will definitely need surgery. We will be consulting with an orthopedic surgeon soon.

The veterinarian was very concerned about Bunnies heart arrhythmia as it is very abnormal. We went over a couple scenarios or possible diagnostic testing that can be done but the vet ultimately decided Bunnie should see a cardiologist. She is concerned about Bunnie under anesthesia with such an abnormal heart beat.

We did receive some bloodwork/ urine results this morning. She does not have a urinary tract infection so the bloody urine may be trauma related. 

Keep watching for her updates
