Help, i think my bunny is sick :( *UPDATE*

WHat is she eating?

 

Your bunny is sick ... you need to take it to the vet. This is a top rabbit breeder & vet tech talking. Get a stool sample tested. More than likely, from the smell & quality you have described a case of cocci. is going. It is fatal if not controlled, but it can be treated if taken care of soon enough. The meds you need cannot be purchased at Walmart or its like. In rabbits every day untreated is bad. Rabbits, unlike dogs, do not have a strong will to live (they are the prey, not the hunter). So when something goes wrong they often shut down. The intestional tract stops (which in turn shuts down the will to eat). You need to get the motility going in the gut ... A temporary treat is Pepto. We give 3cc to a 6# rabbit up to twice a day. But ... this will not solve the problem that is growing. It will only slow down the diah.

Please, for the sake of the animal and the pain it is in, get the bun to the vet.

Good Luck ... and do not handle other animals after working with the bunny without washing your hands first.

 

What kind of lettuce?
Some lettuce will eventually kill rabbits. I would stop feeding the lettuce at once. It upsets their gastrointestinal system.
Get some electrolytes into your rabbit, it is more than likely very dehydrated. Also some probiotics.
As previously suggested, you should take it to a vet ASAP.

So sorry to hear about Lily,

Adopting from a shelter is a wonderful idea. At least you know you are giving a Bunny a second chance at a great life at home with you.

Make sure you clean the old cage out very well, getting every last bit of hair or dirt out is important if you are going to reuse the cage for your next one. Leaving it out in the sun can help help too.
