The solution had an icy blue colour but besides that, it seemed fine. 'Now I just have to test it. We will see how this works out' I thought and picked up the rabbit, it was still asleep. I took out my dagger and positioned the rabbit in a way where its leg could be cut off. With one swift movement, I severed the leg from the rabbit. The rabbit woke up immediately and started crying from the pain. I held it down with my leg and retrieved the poison in order to numb its pain.
It was quite hard to apply the poison onto the wound as the rabbit struggled but I managed somehow. After 3 drops of the poison, the rabbit calmed down a little but it was still bleeding. I quickly wrapped a cloth around its leg and let it stop the bleeding. The poison soon took proper effect and the rabbit stopped struggling.
'I just have to wait a while for the bleeding to stop and then I can proceed with the experiment. The rabbit's leg is much less complex than human's hand, so I should have no problems attaching it back together' I thought and prepared all the tools as well as solution and medicine.
After about 30 minutes, the rabbit started whining again so I added another drop of the poison to its wound. 'It doesn't bleed as much anymore, I think about an hour more and this rabbit should be ready for the procedure' I thought and waited. The rabbit would start complaining once in awhile about its pain, I would apply more poison when that happened. The poison wouldn't harm it in those small doses and it only lasted for a while, that was why the rabbit could feel pain again after a some time has passed.
When another hour passed. I added some more poison to the wound, just to be sure and fainted the rabbit. 'It's time to start' I thought and unwrapped the cloth around the rabbit's front leg. 'First I need to clean the wound and then cut away any fur or whatnot. This will give me access to all the nerves, muscles and veins' I thought. I took out my dagger and placed it over the fire, this was in order to sterilise it. With the dagger heating up nicely. I took out a cloth and submerged it into the cold water, then wiped the blade of the dagger with the cloth, cleaning it.
I started cutting away all the unnecessary fur and skin. I then cleaned the wound using the previously boiled water and did the same to the severed part of the rabbit's leg.
I could see the nerves and muscles connecting as well as the bone damage and whatnot. Thanks to my daggers being quite sharp, the leg was cut very precisely. I did it that way due to my own injury. The attack of that sword woman not only severed part of my arm, it also did it quite cleanly.
With all the preparations complete, I positioned the severed part of rabbit's leg, together with what remained of that leg and rotated it to find the correct alignment. When I found the alignment, I could now start working. I only had one hand so holding the leg and working on it was impossible, I instead set up some wooden blocks, which I made earlier. Those were small wooden blocks but that was enough to support the rabbit and its cut leg. It would be enough for me to support my arm as well.
With my "table" set up, I started my work. First, I added some medicine to the bone for it to heal. I also added the Trantum Solution around the edges of the bone, so that it would bind it together. This was to prevent other issues popping up in the later stages. With the bone now connected back with the medicine and solution, I had to take care of muscles, nerves and veins.
The rabbit's leg was nothing extraordinary. 'There are couple of veins here but not that many, this should not be difficult. The muscles are a bit bigger problem, now that I can see this properly. I hope the solution will do the job. The nerves are also fine from what I can see' I thought and started by connecting the muscles.
I applied the solution and used tweezers to match the cut areas, then "glued" them together. Muscles in overall, had the ability to recover and attach back together but they had to be aligned precisely. Otherwise, there may be some complications later. It took me about 20 minutes just to align and stich those muscles back together but after a long battle, I was finally able to do so.
'Now, I just have to connect the nerves and the veins. I will leave the veins for later, those still contain blood and I don't want the rabbit to start bleeding for no reason now' I thought and took care of the nerves first. The difficult part of attaching the nerves, was their size. They were even smaller than vein. It was quite fiddly to apply the solution as well as connect them in proper way.
Another 10 minutes passed and the nerves were connected. 'Whew! This is hard work and it's only a rabbit. The only thing left to do, is to connect the veins and then apply the medicine on top of the whole wound. I can then wrap it with cloth and stiffen it using some sticks' I thought and continued the final part of the procedure.
The veins in the part of rabbit's leg, that was still attached to the main body, contained blood. When I opened those veins, blood started to flow out, this was expected and I worked on one vein at a time. Attaching them with solution, then adding medicine in order to stop the bleeding and adding more solution on top, to bind them properly.
With all the veins attached after a while, the procedure was pretty much completed. I smeared the whole leg in medicine and added extra on the injured part. I then wrapped the whole leg in cloth, which made it quite stiff and also added sticks around it, to increase the rigidity.
'I'm done. It took a while, even though it was a rabbit but it seemed to go well. We will see the results in a day or two' I though and relaxed a bit near the fire. The procedure took a lot of strain on my focus. I had to work with those details all the time, making sure no mistakes were allowed. I was quite satisfied with my first attempt and thought 'Maybe I should try with a bigger animal next. I still have about half of the Trantum Solution left, although this might not be enough for stuff like wolf… I should try another rabbit before anything else'.
The rabbit woke up after another 30 minutes and started whining again. I made it drink some more medicine and said "I know you can't speak but thanks to you, I might be able to connect back my own arm. I will release you when your wounds are healed. You will get back your life and hopefully your leg works as well". I prepared to watch over the rabbit for the next day or two in order to check properly, if the leg healed or not.
