Trembling Bunny

Young Bun
On Saturday night I noticed that one of my bunnies, Indy, was not looking 100%. He seemed to be trembling constantly. He was sitting quietly in his box and would not come out and when I put my hand on him it was like he was vibrating. I did wonder whether he was trying to fight off something? I took him upstairs overnight and checked him and he's been fine ever since. But I am quite puzzled as I have seen this before but didn't know what it was.

Thanks

Jane
 
Glad your bunny is now okay. Its very difficult to determine what was wrong with him. Bunnies can go downhill very fast and, it is advised, to take any sick bunny immediately to the vet. Is he eating and drinking normally now? Are his poos normal?
 
Hi

Hibby did this once and we rushed her to the vets and by the time we got her there she was back to normal and not unwell at all. It was all really strange :roll:

Although not to long after her infection started, dont know if its connected but its worth keeping an eye on it incase you bunnies warning you :)

Hope that helpes a little x
 
Thanks for all your messages. It happened late at night of course (don't you find they are always poorly on Sundays and Bank Holidays when the vets are shut bless them).

Indy has seemed fine since. He lives indoors and is eating and drinking and his poos are healthy. In fact last night he was bounding around the house having a great time and running in and out of the covered cat bed so fingers crossed it won't happen again.
