Question
When my son was holding my 6 year old bunny he dropped her by accident and from then she could not stand she keeps falling but she is eating drinking well. Due to my back injury I can't take her to the vet please try to help me what should I do? For now I have given her panodaol pain killer when I hold her there is no pain she is normal and she is trying to walk but she falls.

Is there anything I can do for her at home?

Answer
Hi Samantha,

The bunny needs to see a vet.  If you can't afford a vet I strongly suggest that you surrender her to a rescue that can.  When a rabbit falls over it is a sign of a neurological problem.  This is very stressful to a rabbit and without proper care she will suffer immensely.  Please do the best you can to get her to a vet.  There is nothing you can do at home without a proper diagnosis.
