We JUST found this rabbit and we noticed his foot is weird. It’s obviously not normal, but I want to know what it is. What are we getting into in terms of vet bills? The rabbit keeps sort of tapping the floor with the injured leg, if that provides any insight to what is wrong with them.

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.

Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

A vet needs to evaluate the foot and it is hard to know what diagnostics will be needed before the vet does a physical exam. Tour vet will give you an estimate of costs of diagnostics and treatment.
