My rabbit seems lethargic and hasn't eaten much all day. Is this normal?

[]

Answer

Lethargy and anorexia in rabbits, even for a short period, are serious signs. Rabbits need a constant intake of fiber to keep their digestive system moving, and even a day without eating can lead to gut stasis, which is life-threatening. This could be caused by pain, dental issues, stress, or underlying illness. They are susceptible to rapid decline. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
