hi, please try not to scare me with your replies i already feel so guilty. my boyfriend accidentally sat down without realising my bunny aura was laying there and he sat down for what was not even a second before realising. he stood up as soon as he could and she hopped away, ever since she has been limping on her leg she used to put no weight on it at all but she now uses it though i do notice it her occasionally dragging it. she is still eating as normal, drinking, acting like herself. the only thing i have noticed in her behaviour is that i put her into her cage to rest and she hasn't wanted to come out, does anyone know how much it would cost in the UK to get her to the vets? I don’t work, I couldn’t afford it, and I don’t want to ask my parents . please give me some advice :(
 
All vets charge different prices. Best thing to do is start phoning some up and ask what they charge for an office visit and xrays. The rest of the cost will depend on what's found in the xrays. In the meantime until you can get her into the vet, it's best to restrict movement with a smaller space for her like her cage, and make sure she continues to eat and drink well. You don't want her hopping around and further aggravating the injury.

I'm not sure if this applies to you, but it's for low income pet owners that need assistance I believe.

Is there anything like the PDSA in the US? Sounds like a helpful program if eligible.

To my knowledge, the US just has pet insurance, which can be used for rabbits, but just like any insurance in the US, you need to be familiar with what counts and does not count in coverage.
