Sammy is Eleanor's rabbit and last month we noticed that he'd got some hay caught around his back leg. He'd bitten his leg trying to get it off, but he carried on biting once we'd removed the hay and he ended up having to wear a collar to stop him getting to his leg.

I'm pleased to say that the collar did the trick. He ended up having to wear it for quite a while as each time we took it off, he'd start biting again and we were back to square one, but he didn't seem to mind the collar and managed really well with it on. His leg is now fully healed and he's a very happy bunny again.

You can see the little bird bath in the photo above. This is one of two bird baths I have in the garden, the other is on a stand but this one is quite low. The birds love this as it's quite deep and holds a lot of water so they get a really good bath in it. The blackbirds especially like it. Sammy has realised it holds water so it's the first place he goes to when he's let out of his hutch and run for a scamper about on the grass. He manages to stand on his back legs and has a drink.

He's such a cutie.
He really is a cutie, glad to hear he's back on top form.
ReplyDeleteThey do worry us sometimes but there's nothing better than seeing them healthy and happy.
DeleteI'm so glad Sammy is well again. He is a cute bunny.
ReplyDeleteI hated seeing him with the collar on but he seemed to take it all in his stride. I hope he doesn't have to wear one again.
DeleteIt's good to see that he's okay now. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteHe seemed to have the collar on for ages but it was definitely worth it, he's fit and healthy and back to normal again.
DeleteGood to hear that he's recovered - such a sweet little thing :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's horrible when there's something wrong with our pets, I did worry about him, especially having to wear the collar but I don't think it bothered him at all.
DeleteOh Sammy! I am glad that you are doing better, enjoy the trips around the garden little fella! xx
ReplyDeleteSammy does enjoy his trips around the garden. His hutch is on the grass during the summer months and he has access to it in his run and it's on the patio during winter, but we always allow him to have a run around and stretch his legs on the grass. He loves to investigate everything.
DeleteGlad he's doing better, I worry like crazy when our cat has problems.
ReplyDeletePets really do worm their way in to our hearts so it's only natural that we worry about them. I'm so glad that his leg's better now, it was horrible to see him with the collar on.
DeleteI'm so happy to hear he's alright. It pains me to see animals in agony. Poor creatures.
ReplyDeleteLovely weekend. And give my kisses to Sammy. :)
I will do. He loves lots of kisses and cuddles. I agree about seeing animals in pain, it's so distressing.
DeleteHe is a sweetie isn't he! I'm glad he's recovered now and back to normal xx
ReplyDeleteHe is. I'm glad he's recovered too. He's seven so he's knocking on a bit now so I do worry when he isn't well.
DeleteGlad Sammy's leg has mended properly and he now looks like a very contented bunny. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHe loves nothing more than having a hop around the garden, this makes him very contented.
DeleteOh Jo ... Sammy is so sweet. Love the photo by the bird bath. Glad he's fully healed.
ReplyDeleteTake Care
All the best Jan
He's such a lovely bunny. It's the second time he's managed to get hay caught around his leg, I just hope it doesn't happen again, I'm keeping an extra special eye on him just in case.
DeleteSo pleased to hear he is ok and I just love that last photo!

It made me laugh when I first saw him taking a drink from the bird bath. That's the first place he heads for when he's hopping around the garden now.
DeleteGlad to hear Sammy's leg is better. It must have been so painful and it's good that the collar helped in the healing process. He's cute at finding extra drinking water. That's a sweet photo of him drinking from the bird bath.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd see a bunny with a collar on but it certainly helped. He loves hopping round the garden and seems to take great delight in drinking from the bird bath.
DeleteIt's great to see that his back leg is strong enough for him to get to the water. Really good news. Jx
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see him well again and hopping about.
DeleteI'm glad to hear he's better x
ReplyDeleteHe's all back to normal again now and enjoying hopping about without his collar on.
