My rabbit seems lethargic and isn't eating much. What could be wrong?

[]

Answer

Lethargy and appetite loss in rabbits are serious symptoms that warrant immediate attention. Rabbits have very sensitive digestive systems, and any disruption can quickly lead to 'gut stasis,' a life-threatening condition where the digestive tract slows down or stops. Other possibilities include dental problems, pain, infection, or environmental stress. It's crucial not to delay. Offer fresh hay and water, and if your rabbit continues to refuse food or seems less active than usual, contact your vet promptly. Early intervention is key for a good prognosis with rabbits. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
