Rabbit walking with dragging hind legs

**Limited movement of the affected limb, high-swinging leg, extreme sensitivity to touch, and limping.

Sudden paralysis of rabbit's hind legs

The sudden paralysis of a rabbit's hind legs may be caused by incorrect capture, falls from heights, injuries caused by various vehicles or objects, and long-term compression in the cage bottom due to hind legs falling down, resulting in fractures or nerve injuries. In some cases, paralysis may also be caused by inadequate feeding of complete formulated feed or lack of vitamins, calcium, and phosphorus after birth in female rabbits. Please conduct a comprehensive analysis of the cause combined with clinical observations.

Will a rabbit's limp heal on its own?

Most rabbits cannot recover on their own and require timely intervention from their owners, who should take the rabbit to a pet hospital for inspection. Imaging examinations are often used to determine if the limp is caused by a fracture. If there is no fracture, possible causes include calcium deficiency, neurological diseases, and soft tissue injuries. Targeted treatments should be administered based on the examination results. However, for meat rabbits, it is recommended to directly eliminate them.
