My Rabbit Isnt Using Its Leg

22 9:57:53

Question
I noticed that my rabbit was running weirdly on one of his legs yesterday and i lifted him up to see if i could see what was wrong and all around his leg and all down it has no fur and is red and today i let him out to see if it was just yesterday but today he is not using it at all and if he tries to run he falls over:( Help???

Answer
I hope that you have taken your rabbit to the vet.  The failure to use the leg could mean injury.  The fact that it has no hair sounds like urine scald.

I am sorry for the delay I am having computer issues.  If your bunny is still with you and you have not been to a vet yet please find one right away.
