I want to take the time to point out to everyone just how much the Animal Emergency Referral Center in Broomfield ROCKS.On Sunday I noticed that one of the wild bunnies who hang out in my yard and provide the cats with hours of entertainment (it's like television for them) was limping. He let me get way too close so I knew something must be wrong, and then I could see that his leg was bleeding. So I threw a large towel on top of him, picked him up and stuffed him in the cat crate. I didn't really want to call my vet because he would laugh at me, as I admit he probably should.
I decided to stop into the AERC to see what they thought. I didn't want him to suffer or get snatched up by some other animal.
The AERC is open evenings only and 24 hours on weekends and holidays. If your pet (no matter what kind!) needs emergency treatment and you live nearby I highly recommend their services!!
They happily took the yard bunny and didn't even laugh at me! Turns out he had a laceration on his leg. They had another bunny in the back who had been hit by a car but was recovering nicely. They put them in together for company. They explained that they try to do as little as possible (other than keep them comfortable) since they are wild animals. But this way they have a quiet place to recover. (If necessary they will euthanize them so they don't suffer.)
I called just now to check on my bunny and he was released today! Yay!!
