Question
hi, i've got a male house rabbit who's about 3-4 yrs old , completelt white with red eyes. he was perfectly normail until day before yesterday when he lost his apetite and is'nt that active as how he used to be (however he can locomote normally).i have started to get really worried since all vet stores in the society are closed for the next 3 days . i managed to feed the rabbit a little milk with sugar mixed and got him a grass to which he ate just little.He has stopped pottying and sits around in the corner for most of the time. Please could you advice to me how and why theis has happened and if he'll get alright soon?

Answer
This really sounds like a GI Stasis type thing to me, you should really try to find a vet in your area that is open, or contact one through an emergency line as this really requires medical attentions.  I am linking to an article by a fellow expert who explains GI Stasis.
