My rabbit has pododermatitis, leg pain, and is nervous. What to do?

Question

Hi! For some time my rabbit (she is 9.5 years old) has pododermatitis (we’re dealing with it almost 3 months now) and from that time she became very nervous. She almost can’t move her hind legs. And she can’t lean on her right forefoot from yesterday (she was extremely nervous in the evening). Her appetite is fine, but she isn’t eating hay in the right amount because she is uncomfortable. What can I do or what medicine I can give to calm her down and easy all situation with her legs? Pet's info: Other | Other Pet - Not Listed | Female | 9 years and 7 months old

I'm sorry but I really have no idea what to recommend to you since I am not familiar with what medications you have available to you in Ukraine. You are better off consulting a local veterinarian. Simple pododermatitis should not take months to resolve so I am guessing either his condition is grade V with a bone infection or something else may be going on (like an injured back with pinched nerves if he back legs are paralyzed).
