Answer
Dear Nancy,

If your rabbit has such a bad flea infestation that he is actually anemic from it, and showing physical weakness, then his life is in danger.  No food or vitamin will replace the blood he has lost, and you must get him to a rabbit expert vet *immediately* for emergency help:

Your bunny may need not only fluids, but also a transfusion from a large bunny donor.  Please waste no time in getting him to a good rabbit vet NOW, or he may not surivive. I cannot emphasize how important this is.  Once he actually shows weakness from blood loss, his condition is extremely serious.  DO NOT WAIT to get him to an experienced rabbit vet!!!!
