My rabbit didnt want to eat drink or move

Question
Yesterday my two and a half Dutch bunny didn't want to eat. He is the type that eats everything at anytime. I was trying to give him an apple in case something was wrong with his food and he just pushed it away from him. He didn't drink water and he didn't move. He was laying down in the corner of the cage (even though his cage is always open) and he was closing his eyes really weirdly. I tried to pet him and he was freezing! So I picked him up and pet him. About ten minutes later he jumped and started to run in the room (his normal behavior) but I wonder what exactly happen to him? Now he is ok, but should I take him to a veterinarian to get checked?

Please help me, he is like my kid.

Answer
Hello,

Any time your rabbit acts different you really should take them in to be examined.  These symptoms would normally be the actions of a very sick animal.  The fact that he jumped up and went back to his normal self is strange.  I would recommend you have him examined.  I honestly can't tell you what is wrong with him but maybe your vet can.

Good luck
