Hello,
I have a 3 year old rabbit called Misty who has been unable to move since last Sunday morning.
We noticed she was not able to move, poop or wee so we took her straight to the vets. The vets were unsure of what was causing the symptoms. The vet said the stomach area "didn't feel right". After 48 hours and lot's of veg and food she started going to the toilet again. Initially her poops were very small and now they are of normal size and colour which is really positive.
We are now very concerned as it seem's she can now go to the toilet again but she is still unable to move freely. Her front paws do not sit central any more they hang to the right and her back paws tend to hang to the left.
Over the last couple of days she does seem to be getting a little stronger. If we pick her up she is able to try and pull away by kicking her back legs. The main issue is when stationary she is still unable to hop around like she used to.
We have been giving her Panacur since Monday and we are expecting blood tests back today or tomorrow but we still feel helpless.
I have listed out the current situation below:
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? If anyone has any ideas of what we can do to improve the situation it would be appreciated as we are lost at the moment.

I have listed out the current situation below:
- She is eating just as much as she normally would.
- Her poops are of normal size and colour.
- Her head is not tilted she often looks around the room.
- The vet has confirmed her stomach area now feels much better and less bloated.
- She is able to move her back and front legs but does not seem strong enough to move freely.
- We are waking up every couple of hours throughout the night to check on her. We often find she has moved herself ever so slightly by pushing off her back legs.
