    Constipated Roo? Pics

    Water freezing

    Help! Infected swollen leg [PIC GRAPHIC]

    It sounds like ther is pus in there. It will have to be removed. You will be amazed how quickly it will heal after you remove the pus. Anything else will just prolong her suffering.

    Help! Infected swollen leg [PIC GRAPHIC]
