My roommate brought her bunny to college with her....he lost a lot of weight at home after being housed with a guinea pig who ate all the food, so she brought him with her for some fattening up.
His name is Torpedo and he's a 2 year old Dawf rabbit. He's very cute, smart, and well mannered. He's very curious and pretty energetic and has been adjusting well to college life and good eating.
Well, this morning as my roommate went to clean his cage and feed him, she noticed something was not right with him. He would randomly fall over and either not get up or have trouble getting up. He still manages to hop around, eat, drink, and can even stand up on his hind legs, but if we gently bump him in the side, he falls over. He's also been uncharacteristically vocal...chucks and moans a lot. Other than the balance problem, he seems very normal and healthy. He was fine last night...no problems whatsoever, so this issue sprang up very quickly.
Any ideas of what is wrong and/or what we can do?
Thanks in advance
