Pumpkin is poorly!

I wonder if anyone could tell me what could be wrong with Pumpkin, he is an eight year old nethie and today he is off his food and lying flopped out a lot.
His eyes seem clear but we think he may have a runny nose it's a little hard to tell but the main thing he is that sits flopped out a lot. We have not seen any poohie squits, all that area seems to be normal. He is in our lounge at the moment as we wonder if he is cold and we think he may have lost some weight. He will be going to the vets if there is no improvement soon.
Thanks in advance!
 
Well no one has replied so I have come to my own conclusion that he had mild gut stasis this morning as he seems to have improved
 
Glad he is improving on his own :) If he is still a bit quiet you could maybe give him a tummy massage. If i suspect mine has a bit of gassy tummy or something that makes them like your bunny then i do this. Is he eating ok ?

Is he still off his food? Is he passing any droppings at all?
 
Thanks Diddeen and Pretty lupin for replying! He seems ok now hubby did a tummy rub and he has been poohing and eating like mad!:D
 
Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. I'm glad he seems to be improving anyway. A vet check up would still be a good idea if he is losing weight and has a runny nose as there may be something going on xx
