        So flash got a little hurt today, I was lifting a chair forward and at the last minute she ran where I was tipping the chair. As soon as I seen she was crunched a little I released the chair and she ran out. Her back right leg was a little lazy and she quickly layed down. I called the vet right away and ask if I can come no appointment, they said yes we will be waiting. Upon arrival they took her to the back and placed me in a room, they came in and said she’s moving fine and hopping good. Vet did an exam to see if any bones were broken she said no sign of swelling, her legs moved good and no reaction to the back test. She said tomorrow if their is any sign of pain I can come in for pain killers. Ever since we’ve been home ( all this happened around 5pm) she hasn’t eaten or drank, she eats a few hay straws here and there. All she’s been doing is laying down and every 10 minutes changes positions, she moves in the cage okay but when she tried to lick her back I think she struggles a little. Any idea how long this may take to feel better? I’ve been crying my eyes out telling her how sorry I am. I just want my little baby to be okay!

          Did they do an X-ray? I am sorry this happened.
          I think if she seems this uncomfortable, you should probably get the pain killers now. Pain could be the cause of her decrease in appetite. You should offer all her favorite foods to encourage her to eat. Keep her confined so she doesn’t injure herself further.

            They are closed now till 9 am tomorrow I plan on calling and asking for them asap, I’m just so scared this will lead to something worse and I’ll feel so guilty, how do I tell if she’s straining to use the bathroom, when she was in her litter box her bum was pretty high in the air and ended up peeing on the wall lol! Can I do anything from home to help the pain? An no she did not take x-rays she felt there was no need because her mobility was really good. She is resting lots sprawled out and legs stretched behind her. Since she wakes up every so often and changes positions if that bad for her sleep?

              Hi Ashleyann, You did so well getting her to the vet quickly…. Flash is probably a little upset over the incident and the trip to the vet…. I agree with the others, limit her area so she rests and doesn’t aggravate any bruising or swelling… Laying with her legs stretched out is usually a sign of relaxation in a rabbit, if in pain a rabbit is more likely to pull into itself and sit hunched and tucked in….. Going back to the vet tomorrow for a check up and ppossibly pain killers is a good idea if you are still concerned.

                  So today’s she good! She’s eating and drinking and going to the bathroom. I still noticed when she pees she sticks her bum high in the air
