What happens when a rabbit is dying?

Bunny has slowed down so much and I'm wondering if his time on this earth is coming to an end. But I was wondering what happens. Does it happen naturally in old age, when to take them to the vet?? Do they stop eating and drinking?? Bunny is at least 11 x
 
Bunny deaths can vary significantly from individual to individual.
I have had bunnies die when they are weeks old and live to over 14.
If your bunny has slowed down, a vet visit may help to determine the cause and a possible treatment plan.
 
Bramble was 10 or 11 when she passed away. I noticed that she had become less active over a few months, but she was still bounding about, bossing Parsley about and eating for England! I went to give them breakfast and found that she’d passed away overnight. It was a shock as she’d been her usual self when I gave them their tea the night before.
I think every bun is different and you’ll know if you need to help them x
