if your rabbit is in pain, ignoring her obvious need for a vet is neglect, and can be considered criminal neglect depending on the laws in your area.
i’m sorry, but this is the truth. please take your rabbit to the vet.

She is quidding when she eats (even mushy food) and even when she’s not eating, so looks like she has something wrong with her mouth. We thought it was un chewed food that made her sick, but even feeding other food like pate cat food that’s mush (similar to mince fish-no chunks) still makes her sick. she’s painfully thin and really not her self. its like she’s got a stomach problem and a mouth/teeth/throat problem.
a lot harder for her to move in her cage and I and afraid that she won’t be able to move to her water and food dishes. It was already hard for her to move around but now it is too much for her I feel. I do not want to euthanize he and take away her pain and suffering but if this continues and she gets worse I feel I may have to to which would suck because she is a happy little rabbit. The thing that got me most worries is yesterday morning I heard her in her cage and it sounded like she was stuck so I went to check on her and she enough she was but when I went to check on her she was making noises, thrusting her head back and fourth to each side and grinding her teeth. She has never done this before so when she started doing this I ran over to my next door neighbors house who knows somethings about rabbits because he used to raise a lot of rabbits. He ended up saying that he had no idea what was wrong which didn’t help me at all and now i’m still worried because I don’t want to take her to the vet because I am afraid they will tell me to put her to sleep. If you know what to do or have advise please help me because I am scared and have no idea what to do! 🙁

no I’m not neglecting her its just the way she was born. She can’t help it and how do I know if she’s in pain or not?
prey animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and rodents will often NOT show pain until they’re near death.
okay thanks…
(in other words, take your rabbit to the vet and get that leg looked at. PLEASE.)
i will for sure thank you 😉
my cat keeps meowing while looking at me, licking my arm and hugging my leg… And all i can do is pet her…. And then she stops, sits quietly. I know she’s in pain, her cries show it clearly but still i can’t do anything to help her.
Wish i could understand what my cat tries to say… She keeps meowing while looking at me, licking my arm and hugging my leg… And all i can do is pet her…. And then she stops, sits quietly… But when she does it all again. I know she’s in pain, her crys shows it clearly but still i can’t do anything to help her. It’s upsetting.
Wish i could understand
The sore’s look red and painful.
He has had the first one for about a week and the second one developed in the last day or so.
The cleaning solution prescribed through the vet doesn’t seem to be working
I noticed the swelling 2 days ago. It is between the one eye and upper jaw / cheek. She is 10 years old with no previous medical history. She is not exhibiting any other unusual behaviour. Her appetite is as usual. No discharge of fluid in the eye or mouth. No signs of lesions or wounds. Gums are pink. I am able to touch the area and she does not seem to be in pain. It feels hard like a stiff muscle.
PLEASE ADVISE!
Regards
Thank you SO much!!! It appeared quite suddenly…when I left the house that morning she was still fine, when I returned about 5 hours later I noticed the swelling. I honestly hope its not cancer 🙁
My vet will only be available tomorrow morning… will it be fine to wait till then?
My dog was attacked today by a neighbour dog. She had a nasty looking tooth mark in her side and was clearly in pain, so we rushed her to the vet. After examining her and stitching her up, the vet told us that the wound was already showing signs of infection and had been there at least 2 days. He insinuated that we were lying about the time of the attack and refused to discuss any other reasons for the infection. He put a drain in the wound and gave us antibiotics, but now I’m really worried that something else could be wrong with her. We weren’t lying! The attack really did happen only a few hours before and I noticed a mucousy discharge only minutes after the attack. Can infection set in that quickly? She was in good health and had no known wounds before today.
He has went to bathroom fine but he didn’t eat or drink like he usually doesI have a 6 year old male Yorkie. He has been acting funny today he usually plays well with our puppy but when the puppy got near him while he was sleeping a been snapping at him like he is in pain or something and my 6 year old daughter lays with hI’m at night and to ugh she was petting him and he was yelping out in pain and I was talking to him and he looks like he is in pain but I don’t know what’s going on. He hasn’t done this before so I’m a little scared something is really ally wrong with him but it is so late and every vet is closed
My dog had a slipped disc a few years ago and injured it again last year. Last night I was carrying her and set her down on the floor and she started yelping. I immediately though it was her back but i noticed she would help if she moved her left leg. She would lay down and kick her leg back and Yelp some more.
I gave her some pain medicine and later on I took her potty with her sling and I felt a pretty big pop in her left leg. I took her to the vet today’s a he took an X-ray. He said that the hip didn’t look dislocated and her knee looked fine, he said he noticed a calcification in one of her discs from her injuring it.
She would hold her leg up and not put any pressure on it. The vet tested her reflexes and said they were almost non existent and he only got a pain response when he pulls her leg back. He put her on some anti inflammatory and now she try’s to use the leg but it looks like the leg sort of tilts inward.
I think her pain is finally under control now. The vet said it could be that she dislocated her hip and the pop I felt was it going back in. He also said she could’ve torn a ligament but her leg felt ok, it just had a tiny bit of extra play. And he also said that it could be the calcification is pushing on a nerve and that’s why she can’t really feel her leg.
I have her on pain meds and anti inflammatories and crate rest.
I don’t know what to think or what is going on, I got no straight answers. Does anyone have experience with hip/leg/back issues? What does it sound like happened to you?
My 12 year old dog is having hip trouble. Not putting weight on right leg and left gives out. she seems happy but is in pain. What can I do.
I would definitely seek a second opinion or a veterinary internist.
Do you know if there is anything specific I shoukd ask them to do? blood work? X ray? urine test?
