Hello, I am very sorry to hear this has happened to Lucy. Hind limb paralysis carries a poor prognosis in rabbits and euthanasia is certainly reasonable if that’s what going on. However, the reason for paralysis could change the prognosis, so I would recommend having a veterinarian at least do an examination before euthanasia in case there is something else happening that could potentially be fixed or managed.
