Question
My rabbits is not walking on his one back leg and has been sick I dnt no what to do I have no money to take him to the vets he's 10 weeks old x

Answer
HI Ellie,

If you cannot afford to take the rabbit to the vet then I suggest you surrender him to an reputable shelter so that he can get vet care.  Babies that are 10 weeks old are very fragile.  I don't know what you mean by sick but it could be a death sentence.  The only rescue I know in the UK is The Littlest Rescue but I don't know where they are located.  Even your local humane society should accept owner surrenders.

Please do not let this animal suffer.  I know that vets are expensive but when we take in living creatures you have to set aside money for vet bills.   Rabbits are not cheap pets.  I am very concerned for your rabbit.

Try a google search for rescues in your area.  If they can't take him maybe they could at least refer you to a low cost clinic.

Thank you and good luck
