How can treat my rabbit

Thank you for your question. Without being able to examine your rabbit, I don't really have a way of telling you why your rabbit becomes stiff. It may have a neurological problem, a parasite affecting its inner ear or brain, or some other infectious disease going on. It would be best to have your rabbit seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine your rabbit, see what might be going on, and let you know what sort of treatment might be needed. I hope that all goes well for your rabbit.

My bunnie don’t move it’s back legs just drags them

Thank you for your question. I apologize for the delay, this venue is not set up for urgent emails. It would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them, see what might be going on, and get treatment for them.

My rabbit has some mucus coming from her eyes and mouth and seems to be breathing raspy like a cold. We brought her inside for a couple of days because we noticed she hadn’t been drinking her water and seemed like she was dehydrated brought her in syringe feed her water. What could i get to give her to make her feel better because our vet isn’t taking new animals right now

Thank you for your question. There isn't really anything that you can give her at home to help, but keeping her inside may help her as she isn't having to worry about being too hot or cold. It would be best to have her seen by a veterinarian, and if you call your veterinarian and let them know that she is sick, they should be able to get her in, or refer you to someone that can. I hope that she is okay.

Can ear mites cause hind leg paralysis? If so, will it get better with treatment? We are treating with ivermectin, and olive oil tea tree oil drops in his ears.

Thank you for your question. Rabbits can get parasites that are not susceptible to Ivermectin that can cause neurologic problems or paralysis. If your rabbit is not able to use his hind end, that is quite serious, and it would be best to have him seen by a veterinarian. They will be able to look at him, see if parasites in his ears may be causing the problem, and get treatment so that he can get better. I hope that all goes well for him.

At 4 months my rabbit started to hold her rear right leg out to the side, this has got progressively worse and she now barely uses it, drags it, often at a 90 degree angle. Our vet believed it to be due to a bone deformity, a recent xray confirmed the leg appears to have grown twisted. However, recently her eye became inflamed and she tested as highly as the scale goes for the e-cuniculi antibodies. She's on a 28 day panacur treatment and has eye drops but I wonder now if an e-cuniculi infection could have caused leg weakness during development. If so, is there a treatment that could help now?

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry that happened to your rabbit. At this point, if the growth plates are closing and the leg has healed in a crooked way, it is unlikely that any medications are going to help if infection was the cause. If in a protected environment, rabbits do quite well with different lameness, and your rabbit may live a long and normal healthy life as long as she is safe from predators and disease. I hope that all goes well for her.
