Baby rabbit 7 weeks not eating

Question
Hi,
My baby rabbit, now 7 weeks old, was the runt of the litter, When I got her she was very small, but seemed to be doing ok. She was eating her rabbit food and hay & drinking water. I have had her now 2 weeks and she does not seemed to have grown much. Today she seems very weak and keeps falling over. I have not seen her eat any of her food. Can you please help? Many thanks  Nicola.

Answer
Dear Nicola,

Please use the list linked here to find a good rabbit vet immediately:

A baby rabbit in this condition could be close to death, and needs emergency supportive care immediately, such as subQ fluids, and possibly antibiotics.  Please waste no time getting your bunny to the vet NOW if you are to save her life.
