Rabbit shedding hair...?

Question

my rabbit is shedding hair at the butt and leg area and it hasn't been eating and drinking for the whole day and becomes very lethargic. what disease does it have and how should i deal with it?

Answer 1

Well there are some questions that would need to be asked before I could give you an awnser.

How old is she?

Is she pregnant?

How is the weather where you live?

Are you SURE she has not drank anything?

If thing so not match up, then I would have to tell you to take her to the vet. When a rabbit does not drink anything, its kinda serious. Rabbits overheat very easily, adn can die. I hope you can take her to the vet, and I hope theruthing is okay!

Answer 2

Hey,

I know I say this a lot...but... maybe take it to the vets?

It's always best to get an experts' advice and lethargy, not eating and drinking are not often good symptoms.

Is it male or female? If it's female then the previous answer may be correct and she may be pregnant.

If your rabbit hasn't eaten or drunk for the whole day that is a real problem as she/he may possibly develop stasis.

Hope it's ok though, please just call your vet for some advice.

Answer 3

if your rabbit is female, get ready for babies within 24 hours....seriously.  Give her a shoebox or something to nest in and then let nature take its course.  

Many people buy rabbits and they end up being preg before you get them.  Surprise!
