Rear left leg issue

[scatter]

One of my Dutch buns, Lia has developed a weak rear left leg. It seems to have been coming on for a while now I think about it as she seems to catch her foot on the hutch as she hops in and out (they live in our living room). It is only the one leg and she is eating/drinking/pooping/grooming normally. I am seeing my exotics vet tomorrow afternoon as he’s not in today and I really don’t trust anyone else. I did wonder about EC, but she’s behaving normally in every other way. When she runs, it just seems hard for her as it appears to be ‘weak’.

It is quite pronounced today and a little bit yesterday.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Could be a spinal issue, a bulging vertebrae causing compression of the spinal cord. It could be arthritis.

I would check for sore hocks and a gunky ear on the side f the weak hind leg. Hind leg weakness of any kind can lead to the development of sore hocks and gunky ears occur when the Rabbit cannot scratch their ear during grooming.

Hope the Exotics Vet can help.

Sending vibes the vet can diagnose and start treatment.

Thank you - he’s started her on 10 days of metacam and confined to cage which I feel awful about and feel that I can feel her glaring at me (especially when her sister is running around binkying )
