Rabbit dragging back legs

Question
Hi...I have a rabbit that is about 8 months old.  She lives outside in my back yard with free roam.  She has a house that she sleeps in and hangs out in when she likes.  In the past couple of days I have noticed that her back legs don't seem to be working properly.  She is dragging her toes.  And on occassion I have noticed that she gets completely off balance and can't control her body.  I am wondering what could be causing this.  She doesn't appear to have any injuries to her legs or back.

Answer
There are several things that could cause this - spinal issues, parasites, or muscle problems.  You can read up about these at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#ec and http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#dis  

She would need to be evaluated by a rabbit-knowledgeable veterinarian to determine what is the cause of the problem and if it is curable.

Many disabled rabbits live perfectly good lives indoors, if you are willing to put the time and effort into helping her.
