Why Is Your Rabbit Dragging Its Hind Legs?

A rabbit dragging a hind leg won't recover on its own — get it to a vet for imaging to rule out a fracture, then look at calcium deficiency, nerve damage, or soft-tissue injury. Fractures often come from falls, improper handling, or cage-floor pressure, and frightened rabbits can hurt themselves bolting; keep the enclosure calm and safe. Prompt, cause-specific treatment is the only way to avoid permanent paralysis.
