I don't know, I noticed this afternoon that he was holding his other paw up (the front left instead of the right), I've had a look and he he is moving OK and I can't see anything obvious. I've given him some Metacam and if it is no better tomorrow I will do a more thorough inspection.

Hopefully it is just bruised, he was trying to move the run:roll: yesterday, so he may have bruised it then.

:shock: Blimey! I wonder if some bunnies bruise/sprain etc easily, like some humans do? :? Hope his paw feels better in the morning :( X

Yes I do rememember you!

His right paw is now always a bit of a worry but now his left is painful, I don't know. I'm hoping it will be a bit better when I go outside to feed them in a minute.

Becki xX- I think he definitely bruises/sprains more easily, he's a delicate flower.
 
I went out and fed them and he is still limping, not really badly but enough that it obviously hurts a bit (he's had some Metacam). I'm going to do a proper inspection when I come home from work and hopefully (although that sounds awful) I can find out what the problem is.
 
I've just gone outside with my mum to check him and I've found a lump on his leg:(. It's by his first ankle joint and it seems quite big. I think he must have broken his leg or it's a tumour of some sort.

Vibes please for the vets.

Oh Dear...


It could possibly be an abscess on the joint...

Thank you for the vibes people. I'll update when I get back from the vets.

I'm so worried about him, me and Smokey would never recover if anything happened to him:cry:.
 
One of my rabbits got an abscess over the joint which made her limp. It was in the skin not the actual joint. The vet drained it and she was back to normal very quickly :D

I am so relieved, thank you so much for all your good wishes, I'm sure they helped:D.

The vet saw him and she said that although his leg was a bit puffy and he is a bit reluctant to put weight on it, she couldn't feel the hard lump I'd described. She thinks that he may have dislocated his leg slightly and when I felt along it, I inadvertantly pushed it back into place.

He is now back on Metacam for a week and we'll take it from there.

I bet my vet thinks I'm such a hyperchondriac:oops:.
