Weight loss and a scruffy coat in an older rabbit are concerning signs that warrant veterinary attention. Rabbits often hide illness until it's advanced. Underlying issues could include dental problems preventing proper chewing, kidney disease, arthritis making grooming difficult, or other systemic illnesses. It's important to have a veterinarian examine his teeth, perform a thorough physical exam, and potentially recommend blood tests to diagnose the cause. Ensuring he has access to high-quality hay, fresh water, and a safe, warm environment is always important. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
