I've noticed my bun Binky hasn't been running around or moving unless she has to (to eat/drink) but she doesn't hop, just shuffles along, and she's in a weird posture, like a dog when they're taking a ****? Her middle half is bigger than usual and her butt is smaller, I don't really know how to describe it. I don't know if she's in pain or if it's something normal that happens to bunnies sometimes? I'm a student so I'm away every week so I don't know if she's eaten anything unusual or if anythings happend. But I love her so so much and I'm very scared for her health so please anyone who knows anything that might help.

The bump might be contracted muscles, from her hunching from pain and holding her hind end in to protect whatever is hurting. It could be a hind leg or spine injury, or if she's not eating, drinking, or pooping normally, it could be related to gas pain or some sort of GI upset, or it could be some other internal ailment.

A check up by a knowledgeable rabbit vet is really the only way to find out what's going on. The vet may be able to find the cause just from a physical exam, or xrays and possibly a blood test may be needed. Just preparing you as you're a student, and those will increase the cost of the visit a lot, along with meds or any other treatment needed.
