Hello,
I keep three Netherland Dwarfs. Poodsie (dad), Jelly & Bean(daughters). Sadly, the mom, Meadow, passed away recently. Poodsie is 6and Jelly & Bean are 5.
I allow the rabbits to run around the home office for exercise andplay. I've noticeda couple of times in the past few weeksthat Bean has slipped while running on the chair mat (it is slick) andfell over. She tries to right herself, but only with her front legs,she doesn't use her back legs at all. She will just scratch away withher front legs until I set her rear back up and then off she goes. Thissame type of thing has happended when Bean tried to jump into the cageonce and fell over on her back, this time on the carpet.
Bean seems to run just fine (especially when being chased by Jelly!)and her balance seems perfect when she is sat back on her hind legsgrooming her face.
I have an appointment with the vet late next week, but I'd like someopinions first so I can do some research and be armed with goodinformation for the vet.
Thanks for any insights,
Kelton
