Question
Hi,

My Rabbit about 6 -7 years old is usually very active.  Past couple of days ,she has been limping and not using her rear left leg. On looking at both hind legs, this one is larger and hard.  She lets me touch it, does not cry out.  Otherwise she is fine..any thoughts?
thank- you

Answer
Hi Jinja,
Sounds like your rabbit has an injury..I would leave her quiet for the next couple days and see how it plays out..if it worsens bring her to a veterinarian for an xray...otherwise she may just heal fine on her own quiet time.
Good luck,Elizabeth
