My rabbit suddenly stopped eating and is just sitting hunched. Could it be serious?

[]

Answer

A sudden refusal to eat in rabbits, often accompanied by hunched posture, is a serious sign of gastrointestinal stasis or other underlying pain/illness. Rabbits need to eat constantly to keep their digestive systems moving. If they stop, gas can build up, causing immense pain and quickly becoming life-threatening. This requires immediate veterinary attention. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
