Why is my young rabbit twitching and looking like it's dying?

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Twitching in bunnies is usually either due to pain, or can be due to seizures, or severe metabolic disturbances. I recommend that you take Bun Bun to a vet. It doesn't sound like something simple that can be easily fixed at home. One option is to get "Critical Care" food, and feed this with a syringe, however this won't help with pain, toxins, or seizures. Best of luck with Bun Bun.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Unfortunately it sounds like the little bunny is likely not going to make it. It sounds like it might be having agonal breaths. I recommend you bring both the mother bunny and the remaining live bunnies to a vet right away to try to see if there is something you can do for the other two bunnies. Best of luck with your little ones, I hope they are doing ok.

Sorry to hear that Luna is having some issues. Sometimes in rabbits, symptoms that appear to be of a neurologic origin can actually have to do with problems with the ears. I would recommend having her ears thoroughly examined and cleaned if necessary. Another possibility is if Luna has been affected by the micro E. Cuniculi. This is a protozoal organism that can affected multiple bodily systems, one of which is neurologic. The treatment for this condition is typically antibiotics, dewormers, and anti-inflammatories. These would be my top two suspicions, so I would contact a vet who is familiar with rabbits and have her examined some time soon.

I would recommend taking Dolly to see a veterinarian that treats rabbits. It sounds as if she may have a bit of a neurological issue. good luck and I hope she's back to normal soon. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach

Poor Bugs! The signs you describe are extremely concerning and can be caused by a severe bacterial or viral infection. E. cuniculi, a fungus, can cause these signs as well. I recommend having Bugs seen by a vet as soon as possible, as he likely requires supportive care and treatment.

It does sound like a seizure and this can be a very serious condition in rabbits. There is nothing you can do at home except to keep him in a calm, quiet, dark area. I would remove anything from the cage that could injure him. Don't handle him as to minimize stress. Just get him to a vet as soon as you can and be sure it is a vet that is used to treating rabbits.

Usually these signs are compatible with a neurological disease caused by a parasite called E.cuniculi. Once a rabbit has E.cuniculi it passes on the infection through spores in its urine. Other rabbits pick up the disease by eating these spores in urine-contaminated food and water. Unborn kits — baby rabbits — may also be infected during pregnancy. 50mg/kg of panacur once daily for a month is the standard treatment but once signs are evident the prognosis is guarded to poor despite the treatment. I would recommend to isolate sick rabbits and maintain hygiene standards very high.
