put in rabbit chat too to see if can get more advice
dora who had suspected snuffles a few months back, who had recoverd fine, she then had vhd jab about 3 weeks ago and had been fine, and since then had been fine she seemed to struggle getting up last week on two occasions though seemed fine in herself and i kept an eye on it,

today i checked her weekly bum check and she was all clean underneath but i felt along her legs and the one hip seems more swollen or possibly that the other side has muscle wastage the left side which is the less muscular (am calling it that for lack of better word) seems to be the same side she sttruggled with getting up before.

now her teeth are brown stained i have never seen this before she normally has perfect teeth,

she drinks a lot of water she always has drunk much more than the others and this is normal for her she is eating and seems otherwise fine. her urine is normal and her poos are normal.

what can this be a sign of i will be getting her to a vet but i am struggling as the rabbti savvy vets are not tehre and may have to take her to gloucester at this rate especially as my shifts are rubbish. Dora is 5years old. she is a spayed female and vaccinated she had lapinject which she has always had and never had a reaction to so it is not a vhd jab reaction. besides it ahs been too long since.

any info much needed
