What to do if my rabbit is limping, not eating, and acting ill?

I am so sorry to hear about Rambo. I would be concerned he is shivering and not eating due to pain or discomfort. We would be worried about a possible broken bone, an abscess or wound causing swelling, cellulitis, edema, and more. Your bunny needs to go to a vet for an examination. They will palpate his leg and may recommend an x-ray if they feel a broken bone is possible.

This could be arthritis, a soft tissue injury (like a sprain), an infection, or even a broken bone. You could try to let her rest for a few days to see if it improves. If you are seeing no improvement that I would have your vet look at her. Your vet will be able to take X-rays if needed and prescribe pain meds to make her more comfortable.

The most common reason for a young rabbit to be limping would be generalized musculoskeletal pain from something traumatic. Certainly as you said nail length can contribute or a wound on the affected limb. However, if you have eliminated these as possibilities, I would say that the next logical assumption is there is a bony or soft tissue injury affecting your bunny. She would probably benefit from a physical exam to see if an area can be isolated, and possibly if warranted, some x-rays could be obtained. Anti-inflammatory and pain medications are also available for rabbits and might provide some significant relief. In the mean time until you can get him in, I would just try to limit his mobility and confine him to a smaller area. Hope this is helpful.

I am sorry to hear about Bun Buns! Rabbits unfortunately are prone to developing back injuries which can cause weakness or paralysis in the hind legs due to neurological damage. I would recommend confining Bun Buns and getting him to the vet as soon as possible for evaluation. The vet will do a physical examination, test reflexes, and may recommend an x-ray to help determine what is causing his symptoms and how best to treat Bun Buns.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucy. I recommend that she sees an emergency veterinarian today. She will likely need x-rays of her paw to see if it is broken. It does appear swollen which worries me. Based on her exam findings, treatment can be started to get her more comfortable. I hope this information helps!

If she is holding the foot in the air and not using it, it's probably a serious injury, either a fracture or a dislocation. you need to take her to the vet ASAP, they will need to check her and will probably recommend doing an xray to evaluate the severity of the injury.

As your cat hasn't been eating and is limping it is best to schedule a veterinary appointment ASAP. The limp could be caused by a number of things including injury to the leg, such as a break or sprain, wound or infection from a bite or scratch, or muscle or nerve damage. If the limb is hurt severely enough or if infection is present it may make your cat not want to eat. Until you can get to the vet, limit all activity to prevent further injury to the limb, and try to entice eating by warming up some wet food or adding some warmed boiled chicken to your cat's food. However it is necessary to schedule a vet appointment ASAP.
