Answer
Dear Ann,

I cannot really tell from your message what is wrong with the bunny's leg. Could it be broken?  If so, and if it is infected or not healing, then it might have to be amputated.  But I cannot see the bunny to know the condition of the leg and make any recommendations.

Try to find a rabbit vet with the list linked here:

I am sorry I cannot help you more than that, but there is only so much I can do via the internet.  If the vet has given you options for treatment, you must now make the decision.  Nothing is ever 100% sure in life, but you must give your bunny the chance to survive.  Not treating the leg is not an option.  It needs medical attention.  

I hope you will do the right thing.
