My baby bunny, who is about 3 weeks old was just found limp, laying in the corner of the cage. His stomach is sunken in and his chest is puffed out and swollen, his neck is tilted back. He kicks a little if put on his back but is still barely moving. The last thing I want is for him to die, what's wrong?? There are no local vets open. He has recently eaten well and was hopping around earlier.

Answers:

im so sorry. they do this before they die.

Your bunny is very sick

He needs antibiotics immediately or he will die.

RUN to a vet.

i am a vet tech and you need to get him in to an emergency vet asap!! im sorry to tell you this but this is what happens before they die. it could be a number of things... more information would be needed. his temp should be around 101. how much did he eat... when... what did he eat... is he bleeding from anywhere... is he salavating. how long has he been like this. are there any other animals around him... is he indoors or outdoors. was there a change in his diet... (these are all questions you need to be prepared to answer if you take him in to an emergency vet) you can also try to call and let them know the symptoms but i can promise they will tell you to bring him in... this sounds like an emergency to me. good luck

sweet heart he's doing just what my rat jete was doing. hes not going to live much longer there is not much you can do. see if he will drink anything. he may have a respitory problem but i dont think so. there could be anything wrong with him. im so sorry i wish i could give you a hug. i know its hard but i dont think he will live much longer.

I am so sorry, my heart goes out to you. It does not sound as though he will make it, but I am sure he loved the time that you spent together. My thoughts go to you.
