I think I just need a bit of reassurance or just tips on what I should do. Recently my rabbit broke a nail, I'm not sure how it happened but I saw she was bleeding and I saw that the nail from her front paw was bent sideways but doesn't seem like it's going to come off. It seems to hurt her since she doesn't put any weight on that paw but she was still eating and walking around like normal. However even before this happened, I had noticed that she wasn't being herself. She's very lethargic and doesn't play like she used to. She sleeps all day, only waking up for food and water breaks and then lays back down. I'm not sure if this is normal but while she was laying down, I inspected her and noticed she has sore hocks on each feet. They don't look so bad right now since it's only one on each foot and it's just pink with no bleeding or cracking. I'm planning on taking her to the vet soon once it opens but I don't know why, I just feel like the worst is coming. Her lethargy and change in personality is so odd to me. I don't know if it's because her sore hocks or broken nail hurt? I had recently taken her to the vet for the lethargy but they didn't know what was going on and just prescribed pain medication. Do you think the lethargy could have something to do with the sore hocks? This is my first rabbit so I'm not sure how they're supposed to act but I know she hasn't been herself for weeks now.
