There is no end and no begining, only Custard Pastries!!!!!

Had the worst two days of my life. Was cleaning out my Rabbit, Charlie, yesterday and my hubby, Kris, was rabbit sitting. I heard a weird noise and made a joke about him trying to kill my rabbit and he said Charlie had leapt out of his arms and he'd caught 'him' in mid air. We couldn't find the dustpan so we put Charlie back in 'his' cage and searched for it and i noticed Charlie was sat funny.

'His' back paw on his left side ad two claws out of place. So we drove 'him' to the vet and they kept 'him' in over night, then gave him a local anesthetic and took some x-rays. 2 Dislocated claws and, get this, if it had been done recently they would have been able to fix them while Charlie was under, but they'd healed like that, meaning it's been like that for roughly two weeks? Now roughly 3 weeks ago i clipped 'his' claws and the paw was fine. how could i miss something like that?

Oh, the reason for all he 'he' and 'his' stuff is because Charlie was sold to us as a male Rabbit. I was talking to the vet on the phone this afternoon and he said 'oh, and it's a female rabbit.'
Stupid question to ask a vet but i was like 'are you sure?'
So Charlie - originally named after Dom's character in Lost is now Charlie the girl.
Sorry Dom.

The paw is a little sore and 'he's' got pain killers. Very happy she's back. Missed her soo much last night, since my hubby was on night shift and the house was quiet. The vet did say if the claws continue to give pain the best thing to do will be amputate but other than that the paw is fine. Charlie has a check up planned for next thursday. Fingers crossed all will be fine.
