Abstract
ABSTRACT: This case study reviews the care given to a rabbit with severe trauma to his right hind leg. Following amputation, the wound became infected and required managing every 3–4 days causing additional stress to the patient. Whilst the outcome was positive, it is important to reflect on the care given to our patient’s especially as student veterinary nurses, to ensure we improve for the next case that comes in. Evaluating case studies ensures that best practice is used to manage patients using evidence-based nursing.

I am a final year Student Veterinary Nurse at the Goddard Veterinary Nursing College. I work full time at a Goddard’s branch in East London. I am passionate about exotic nursing and hope to gain further knowledge and experience in this sector once I qualify. I am the ISFM Cat Advocate in my branch whereby I ensure cat friendly practices are carried out. I will be taking on the role as peer reviewer for the student section of the VNJ which I am delighted about. I hope to encourage SVNs to have a voice and write in their experiences so others can learn from them. I look forward to reading your amazing stories, hints and tips!
