Hi, my bunny is 3 years old, hes started to look slightly lame, his back right foot looks as if he can't feel it he kinda drags it and hops to one side, now this has only just started, i have felt the whole of his leg extended it, hes not bothered at all, can he get lame from sitting on his leg too long? he is proper lazy and sleeps most days so i m wondering if its a dead leg?!?!
Also this lasts around 2 minutes, after that he is using his leg as normal
the only other thing it could be is that he has slipped on his ramp, he has a ramp which leads to his hidey hole, he has plenty of space as that house is attached to an outdoor metal cage too which he can run about in...... i also got him a friend at the weekend and he had no problems trying to jump to her.........so should i take him to the vet or has anyone had this kinda issue before??? if so what did the vet advise?
many thanks
