Hi Jordan

The very best thing for your bunny is to take him to a qualified rabbit veterinarian.  They can give him some de-worming medicine.  I believe the most common is called piperazine.  It is really easy to give to the bunny and it should cure up the worms right away.  The reason he is pale and not active is because the internal parasites (worms) are eating away at his vital organs.  I assure you that this is completely curable and the sooner you get him to a vet the better.  The vet will also be able to give him a general health check up to make sure that nothing else is ailing him.  It is really a good idea to have your bunny brought into the vet at least once a year for a good wellness check up anyway.  If you haven't done so already then now would  be a good time to start.

Please tell your parents that this bunny is not a lost cause.  Worms are one of the easiest and fairly cheapest things to cure.

Good luck and if you need any more help please let me know.

Thank you

Hi Jordon,

I just wanted to know how your rabbit is?  Did your parents allow you to take him to the vet?  I was just hoping he is doing better.  I truly care about all rabbits and I feel a strange attachment to these animals with whom people ask me for help.

I hope everything is going ok.

Sincerely,

Pam
