Hi, I have a young mini lop cross doe who is about 3 months old. I got her 3-4 weeks ago and within the past week or so I have noticed her deteriorating. We have been having some nasty wet weather mixed with flapping hot days so it may be that that is confusing her. I dont know. She is extremely bony. I can feel every single bone, ridge and dip in her. But she also has a fat pot belly and I see her eating the food I get her (a mix of pellets, grass and wheat seeds from the pet shop) She doesn't hop around as much as she used to or play. She might even be depressed. I have had depressed rabbits before but I dont know why she is acting this way. she'll sit on her own for hours, without approaching her playmate, Tinkerbelle, who is friendly to her. I see her drinking water too. I have just wormed her as well as treated her for mites/lice. none of my other rabbits are as skinny as her. I have checked her all over and she seems perfectly healthy apart from being so skinny! It cant be the change in environment/food as she has been fine up until now. I plan on calling the vets and asking about it but my local vets dont specialize in rabbits so I was hoping you could help :/ do her symptoms sound familiar at all? Please reply asap to my email mcins109@yahoo.com.au. Thank you
