My female rabbit has lumps on her stomach, she's having trouble walking, and she had lumps under her front legs that are a blue-green-gray color to them. She has lost most of her stomach fur and can't bathe herself very well. What could be happening?

These could be multiple abscesses or tumors and there is no home remedy for that. You will need to take Tally to a veterinarian for an exam. If these are abscesses, he will need to lance and drain them and your rabbit will need injectable antibiotics. As for tumors, they will need to be assessed whether they are benign or not and whether it is possible to remove them.
