Mishka has had weak back legs for months now, but they never seemed to bother her at all.
Within the last 3 days for some reason, they have got worse each day. Today when I let them out when I got home this evening, she isn't even managing to balance at all, and it literally just lying her back end on the floor and pushing her feet out sidedways.
Amazingly she can still get around at a fair pace using this method, and still doesn't seem to bother her! She comes madly flopping up the garden with the others if we make the treat noise, and still chases around with them.
We are just really worried about this sudden downturn in her mobility, and she no longer has the strength to get on the step in their hutch. Tonight I had to pick her up and put her in the top section with the others as that is where they are tending to sleep now.
Caroline has managed to get an emergency vets appointment tomorrow at 9.30am, but to be honest we don't see what the vet will be able to do for her.
We just really want to determine if she is in pain.
Has anyone else had experience of bunnys with weak back legs?
