Hurt Leg

[LuckyClover]

I noticed a couple days ago that my rabbit was not putting as much pressure on his right hind leg as normal. after checking for irregular bone placements, i thought it was just a bruise, so i left it alone for a while and tried to keep him calm.

but today i saw that now he is almost not putting any pressure onto his leg, and limps when hopping. I am in a different place now and do not have a vet to take him to. my family says he just has a sprained foot, but i just hate to see him like this.

he is eating like normal and insists that i groom him (like normal). but he does seem a little more docile than usual- he just lays down now, makes me pet him, and continues to lick everything!

does anyone know how i can try to heal his foot? is it just through time, being patient and keeping him off his foot?

He really needs to see a vet. You wouldn't necessarily feel a fracture and it could also be other things that need treatment.. one of my bunnies limped because of an abscess near the joint. If nothing else a limp is usually a sign of pain so a painkiller could be needed

Poor boy
He is obviously in pain and it is essential he is seen by a Vet today. I would not like to be left in pain by those who were responsible for my care.

yes, my baby is doing a lot better now. He got treated and is not limping anymore. Bunny is still recovering, but is MUCH better. thank you so much for the advice. it is by the Almighty power of my God that he is better. Thanks much!

oh, yes yes. and he is doing much better. i just had to credit my God because it is only by Him does anything happen. Anyways, He does know every sparrow and the number of hairs on our heads and gives us every breath and forms every day, doesn't He?

I am just now seeing this. Poor bunny but I am glad that he is doing much better. What did the vet say was wrong with his leg?

I dont believe that but each to their own

I am glad your Rabbit is getting better now.
