My rabbit fell and is peeing randomly. How can I afford vet care?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

my rabbit has fallen off our porch twice now. We live on the second floor. The second time she did it, a friend was holding her and she kept from his arms over the railing into a bush. She was perfectly fine minus being terrified, but now she's randomly urinating. I don't have the money to bring her in as my boyfriend and I are both disabled with a child each. Is there anything I can do myself to help her?

Unfortunately no, Bundar does have to see a vet for this problem. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/

    If the paw is dangling, I'd be very concerned that Ironwoman's foot if really hurt, maybe even broken. She has to see a vet asap.

    The signs that Marley are showing could be due to a urinary problem like feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. The problem with bladder stones is that they can cause a urethral blockage, and that is fatal without treatment. He does have to see a vet now.
