Oh no, that sounds terrible =[

Good luck for tomorrow, I do hope all is well, even though it may not seem like it right now. They're stronger than we give credit for, and they surprise us all the time.

Any idea's as to how it's spine is broken? If it's anything like my eldest corn who trashes her viv and knocks branches down, that may be an idea?

Oh dear, that sounds terrible. I hope all will go well tomorrow. Keep us informed. Maybe like Scarlett said it could be thrashing about trashing everything.

quite a few years ago someone over on the dark side (when it was a nice friendly place!) had a corn with a broken spine and his vet put it in a splint until it healed up :)
