Bunny

Does it look like he’s unable to jump well due to some injury?


Unable to upload the video to Reddit due to some error.

My 10 weeks old bunny used to literally ricochet off the walls of his 7.8 x 5.2 sq. ft. acrylic play-pen, and I suspect he managed to injure his legs somehow because he has been lethargic for 2 days now, and today, it seemed he couldn't jump as far as he otherwise intended to. He has also been grooming his rear legs a lot, so I suspect he's in pain. He's been eating & pooping normally, though, but he slept in his litter tray for a few hours yesterday & today, and he had not done that before, so I suspect he may have done that for convenience. He hasn't been climbing the top of his tunnels either. He mostly sat in a hunched position yesterday & today, but yesterday night, he seemed better.

Should I have his legs X-rayed at an ER, or would it be okay to wait until Monday since he's eating/pooping well & is also able to walk or even jump at small distances? There are no good exotic vet ERs around me (on weekends, senior docs are unavailable & residents are on-call), and the good exotic vets were unavailable on Friday.

Thanks in advance!
