8-year-old rabbit after cutting nails can not walk since Sunday

[MasterBlack34]

Good morning, my rabbit cannot walk since Sunday and lay there for the first 30 minutes, the rabbit was shaking with stress and everything hurt. After 30 minutes, he calmed down but panted for several hours. He tried to walk but fell all the time and cried at first because he couldn't move his legs, he tried to walk five times and nothing.

On Monday he was very calm and began to drink more than usual and eat a little less. He made attempts to walk, but without success.

On Tuesday or today I thought that nothing had changed since Monday, but for the first time since Sunday, he began to wash his front paws for a few seconds in this shin action was very shaky, but he managed to wash.

I know I should go to the vet, but I am not a decision maker and I cannot make such decisions myself. I talked to my mother about it and told me to wait a few more days and my father told me to give up the vet.
I also read stories at intervals that rabbits may not survive a visit to the vet, my rabbit was very worried when I was cutting his nails, let alone a vet!

How can I remember him at home so that he has a better chance of returning to walking? What foods do you recommend to a rabbit whose muscles strengthen or something? I mean so natural.

Thank you in advance for all the answers.

I apologize in advance for my English but in my country I use a different language on a daily basis and do not want to be rude and speak Polish.

First off, your English is great. Secondly, does your vet have an email service? Ours allows us to email in when there’s a pressing question that may not require a vet visit. We’ve sent videos, pictures, long shpeils... everything! Find out if you’re vet does that. I have a feeling they may ask you to bring him in because this sounds like more than just post-nail cutting jitters.

Also, my grandparents were Polish! So I’m technically 1/2 Polish and 1/2 Hungarian.

I checked all the vets and no one offered the email service.

I think you’re going to have to bring him in. Make his carrier really comfy and do everything as slowly as you can. Try taking side streets to make the drive less stressful. Eventually, my bunny (who’s a stressed out little nugget) falls asleep from the lull.

Myślę, że będziesz musiał go przyprowadzić. Spraw, by jego nosiciel był naprawdę wygodny i rób wszystko tak wolno, jak to możliwe. Spróbuj obrać boczne uliczki, aby jazda była mniej stresująca. W końcu mój królik (który jest zestresowanym małym samorodkiem) zasypia z kołysanki.

Spróbuję przekonać rodziców, ale nie wiem, czy to zadziała.

I agree, he needs to be seen by a good rabbit vet. It sounds like somehow he has an injury. That would be why he can't walk.

mam nadzieję, że tak będzie. muszą wiedzieć, że posiadanie królika wiąże się z obowiązkiem dostarczenia go do weterynarza, gdy jest on w bólu.

translation;hopefully it will. they need to know that having a rabbit comes with the responsibility of bringing it to the vet when its in pain.

@JBun @Gelly Hi, I could not make an appointment with the vet because everyone is afraid of COVID-19 in my city and works remotely theoretically, but in practice they do nothing. But I was able to contact a person who works in a pet store and has been treating rabbits for several years. And he told me that it could be a lack of lime and buy lime cubes from them. I haven't bought it yet. How do you think it could be from this wine? Because for several years I didn't buy him lime anymore, but I remember when he was younger, I bought him and jumped like drugs.

Ive never heard of lime for rabbits. If he’s still not walking, there must be a vet you can take him to. Vets are essential. What happens if there is an emergency (which this is)?

As I understand your rabbit cannot walk since Sunday, today is Wednesday, he is shaken and stressed and he can't move his legs. This is an emergency situation and we can't help you in an online forum with that, you need an emergency vet, find it locally. I don't believe limestone would help.

@zuppa When it comes to trembling and stress, only those legs are calm with the rabbit.

You need to take your rabbit to a vet. Vets are essential workers so all should be open. If the one you're reaching out to is not open then reach out to another, but according to guidelines, they should be but with special protocols to practice social distancing and cleanliness.

 

[JBun]

No, do not give him lime. There is no reason he would need anything like that.

Do your best to find an experienced rabbit vet you can take him to, but until you can all you can do is just make sure he is eating and drinking enough, and make sure his bum stays as clean and dry as possible. He's essentially disabled now so it's going to take more time and effort on your part to properly care for him.

If the damage isn't permanent then there is a possibility he could recover his leg movement, but that means there's probably some sort of spinal injury. So it's important that he is kept in a smaller area so he doesn't try and move around too much, to give the spine injury time to heal. You will also need to limit how much he is picked up, being very careful in how he is handled. Only handle him when it is absolutely essential for keeping him fed and clean and cared for. The less he is handled, the less movement occurs that could aggravate the spine injury, the better chance it has to heal.

@Gelly Unfortunately, the rabbit died yesterday today we will be doing a funeral in the countryside
and the rabbit was not 8 years old only 11-12 you made a mistake because I bought it a long time ago when I was 8 years old.

Sorry to hear that. What the vet said what happened to him was he in pain?

@zuppa
Damage to the back of the spine and this leg as if they were dying and the bones were visible. In recent days he also had a problem that his left paw couldn't bend him.

Last night, when I was brushing my teeth, the towel itself fell to the floor, even though it was heavily hung and felt once on my left shoulder, once on my right and feet, as if someone had patted me and licked my hair. Then, as I lay in bed, I heard the sounds in the dishes and the stomach growling in the kitchen.

The last paranormal phenomenon happened to me in 2012, when my grandmother died.

Can a rabbit do this? Have you ever met the ghosts of rabbits or animals?

Were you offered painkillers or euthanasia? If he was 8 year old and couldn't walk for 2 weeks there was not much hope he'd survive so I think it would be human to save him from suffering

@zuppa
they offered to kill a live rabbit in a traditional way, so I disagreed
