Heart , breathing & beating.

Question
Hi

My rabbit is a month old and is breathing really fast. She does not run around like she usually does. It's scaring me , it's quite sad looking at her with her half open eyes just sitting around.

She is not active and not doing the things she usually does. This has happened since one or two days ago.

Please help me.

Thank you



Sara

Answer
Hi Sara,

I'm sorry, but I can't tell much by this description. You may want to take her to the vet.

4 weeks old is really young, do you have the rest of the litter? Could she have gotten hurt playing with her litter-mates?

Please let me know what happens! Or if anything changes--you see sneezing, she can't get up, etc. It may help to diagnose her better.
