my baby bunny is lethargic...

Question
I have had my bunny for about 3 months. He is usually really active and spunky. But the last few days he's been sad and sleepy a lot. He usually waits by the door for me to get him out, but now he just lays there. Is it because he doesn't have a salt lick or is something seriously wrong with him???

Thanks! Helene

Dear Helene,

As the instructions preceding my question area tell you, the internet is NOT the place to seek help if your bunny is lethargic, not eating, or acting sick.  Please get him to a good rabbit vet immediately, as this could be an emergency.

I hope he'll be fine soon, but he needs veterinary attention now.
