My rabbit has stopped eating hay and is very quiet. What should I do?

Answer
A rabbit refusing to eat hay and being quiet is a serious concern, often indicating gastrointestinal stasis or pain. Rabbits need a constant intake of fiber from hay to maintain digestive health. This condition can quickly become life-threatening. Look for reduced or absent fecal pellets and watch for any teeth grinding. Offer fresh water and try to tempt them with their favorite leafy greens, but immediate veterinary attention is vital. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
