Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

I'm afraid you'll have to go to the vet for this - broken toes left untreated could become serious. bunnylove1

Hi bunnylove and welcome to the Forum :wave:
I should definitely get the toes assessed by the vet. It may be they need bandaging so they heal properly, if indeed they are broken. At the very least you will need some pain relief (Metacam) - and the vet may advise cage rest for a period of time.
I broke one of my toes, and I certainly wouldn't have wanted to walk on it, and without pain relief too!
Good luck xx
