My rabbit has a swollen testicle, weak leg, and is lethargic. What's wrong?

Question

My rabbit has a swollen blue testis and the other one has shrunk. He is lethargic and one of his hind legs (opposite to the swollen testis) has weakened, due to which he has trouble walking. Please, kindly help my rabbit. Please suggest some meds. We don’t have any vets who treat rabbits. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 9 months old

Thanks for reaching out about Snowbell. This is probably not a simple condition so a veterinary visit needs to be scheduled, even if not experts in rabbits. A swollen testicle can be an infection, tumor or other, but due to the nature of rabbit pus, just antibiotics rarely sure this. Recommendation is probably castration. As for the leg, radiographs are probably needed to determine what is going on, fracture/dislocation/spinal problems. Each has different treatments. Good luck.
