when i went to check on my bun's yday evening i saw that the youngest one (lulu) was limping. i check her out and she isnt using her front right leg at all. Everything is closed today because its national holiday here. Is there anything i should check for. She is still limping this morning and i am a little worried. i know how she did it, they have a run outside and she squeeses through the bars using her front to legs to pull her. Any advice would be welcome. she is eating and drinking, but a bit subdued.

Cait:cry:
 
She really does need to see a vet. Dont carry her and confine her space until you can get her checked out. If she has broken her leg or damaged her spine, movement can aggravate the injury. Make sure she keeps eating and pooing and that she is at a comfortable temperature.
 
Do take her to a vet. Inky had similar symptoms earlier this year and he had broken a toe and dislocated another. I felt so guilty for letting him limp for at least a day before I took him to the vets.

They can actually do quite a lot for broken bones it seems. Once his toes were straightened out, he was loads better and just had to rest for a couple of weeks. He did heal slightly wonkey(try telling him he can't jump) but he isn't in any pain and has full mobility.
