Two days ago my lop jumped up on the wall he always jumps on, but this time he has hurt his leg. My vet checked him over and thinks it is just a strain/sprain injury so should just improve over time. He is very happy in himself and does not seem the least bit bothered by his leg. He is eating, hopping around (although not too much as we have restricted him) and he uses the leg to scratch his ear! He is on metacam. He is not fully weight-bearing on the leg. He seems to use it more so when hopping slowly and tends to hold it up a bit more when hopping more quickly. This is quite normal for a dog or cat to do this so i guess its the same for bunnies. However, I do not have any experience of rabbits with this type of injury so i don't really know how long it should be before i see improvement (im assuming around 3-5 days). Does anyone know much about this? He is no worse on the leg in two days but not really that much better.
Thanks
