Has my mini lop buck got a cold???????????

Question

I breed dwarf lop rabbits,and last year i got a mini lop buck,he is a year and a half and so lovely(in fact on of my fave bucks) and he has had no problems since i got him,and now suddenly he has gone very quiet and and he is fairly cool, but i have checked him ALL over and he has NO signs of flu!. Like normally when i come to feed him hes up against the cage wire waiting to come out,but today he was just sat there and when i put in his food he had a little and then sat down again that so isn't him! I normally don't take them to the vets UNLESS its really needed as i treat them well and they are then fine again,but i have not come across this before and i am a bit worried about him! By the way,i am only 14 years old and care for my pets VERY WELL, so please DON'T email stupid or useless answers. As i AM prepeared to take him to the vets if needed,as i love him so much(as with my other pets). Thanks!

Answer 1

you are saying he is not as active as normal and not eating very well? is there any other simptoms? sneezing, caughing, or less p**p or the dropings looking diffrent then before? If he is still eating fine then I would look at heat as a possability...has it been warmer then normal where he is kept..also he could possibly be bored try giving him some toys...but a lot of times with his being less active means he is not eating well and that normaly points to wool block.

Answer 2

Signs of a cold or virus are sneezing and white discharge from the nose.
