Today a baby wild rabbit around three weeks old, who had received injuries to a rear leg was brought to us from a farm in Mansfield. Following a trip to our vets for an X- ray, antibiotics and pain killers, she is making a great recovery. We are hand rearing her on a replacement milk formula and she is also nibbling on hay. Although she cannot use her leg properly yet, we believe that it is not broken, only time will tell if she can regain its use. Watch this space for further updates.
