Hi
Grace has never been sick before until today when we went out to feed the buns and she was sitting huddled in the corner of her pen outside. She had fluffed up and her eyes were almost closed. I thought she might be cold so I took her inside and sat her near the warm radiator. She's usually really active and bouncy when I come to feed her in the morning but today she was quite the opposite. She doesn't have a runny nose or eyes.

I don't really know what It could be but she looks terribly frail and down in the dumps, can anyone help??

Thanks

Will and Grace
 
It sounds like she may have tummy pain which could indicate GI stasis or bloat....has she eaten anything or pooed at all?

I would suggest getting her to the vets as soon as possible, rabbits deteriorate very quickly so getting her treatment asap is very important.
 
take her to the vet it sounds like the start of stasis which cna be brought on by many things, she will need a pain relief such as metacam and also a gut stimulant if she is dehydrated she may also need fluids its essential you take her to vets asap x
