Why is my baby rabbit suddenly inactive after a cold AC room?

Rabbits can become sick quickly with upper respiratory infections. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. In the meantime make sure his cage is cleaned daily as the ammonia from the urine can cause irritation to the respiratory tract. You may also consider taking him into the bathroom when anyone showers to allow the humidity to help as well. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Most of the signs you are describing could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.

There is definitely something wrong with him, in most cases when a rabbit shows such symptoms quite suddenly it is because of gut stasis, but it could also be other things. you must take him to the vet ASAP, he will need a checkup and a simple blood test to check for stasis/blockage then he can get the proper treatment.

She may be dehydrated, have a tummy upset or GI stasis. Unfortunately bunnies are not very heat tolerant, so if it is a hot day in your area it can make thm lethargic and even die. Put your bunny in a cool place, offer some fresh cool water, you may even have to syringe some to your bunny. Offer hay, a piece of apple, some lettuce. If your bunny does not start to eat soon when in a cool place you will need to take it to a Pet ER today (call first to see whether they see rabbits) for an exam.

I'm sorry to hear that Flower isn't feeling well! These signs can be an indication of an infection, and are concerning because she may be having trouble breathing. The fact that she is not eating or drinking can cause her to become very sick, because it is important for a rabbit's gut to be moving regularly. I recommend having Flower seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine what is going on and begin the appropriate treatment. You should keep a close eye on her and have her seen immediately if you think she is having trouble breathing.

It could be the effects of heat that are doing this to Toby. However, I'm slightly concerned he's not eating or passing much faeces, rabbits are prone to a condition called gut stasis where their stomach stops working. It is very dangerous and progresses quickly. To be safe I would have him examined as soon as you can.

Hello, I am very sorry to hear about your rabbit. Rabbits are predisposed to bacterial upper respiratory infections. One of the more common causes is a bacteria called Pasturella, leading to an infection called "Snuffles". If left untreated this bacteria can lead to pneumonia. Rabbits are very sensitive animals and when they become ill they are often predisposed to developing GI problems such as GI stasis. To prevent secondary problems from developing I would recommend having your rabbit evaluated by a veterinarian so that they can perform an examination and evaluate the nasal discharge. Hope this helps, good luck!
