Question
Hello,
      My rabbit has problems, ever time i touch him he shakes his leg or his body uncontrolably! Even when im holding him or hes just sitting on my lap.I dont know whats wrong with him .

Answer
Dear Sarah,

Is your bunny showing any other signs of unusual behavior?  Is this a recent development?  Can he move?  Eat?  Drink?  I can't really tell what's going on from your description, and need more detail.  But if you are worried that he's ill, please read this immediately for instructions:

and find a good rabbit vet here for an immediate appointment:

I hope this helps.
