Our rabbit is not lookin well

Question
Hi
I am wondering if you could advise me on why my rabbit is not eating, but drinking. The problem is that we let our rabbit run around on the garden a couple of days ago and today we have noticed that he has a wet patch around his face and looks really unwell! He is not eating at all and we don't know if he has eat a plant or something? But recently we had his tooth rasped (filed) at the back of his mouth and we don't know if that has happened again (that was around 4/5 month ago. We would be really grateful of you help thank you!

Answer
Dear Corey,

If your bunny has a history of molar spurs already, then it's probably time for another filing after 4-5 months.  A wet face is a typical sign of this problem.  You can read more here:

and find an experienced rabbit vet here:

If the bunny stops eating and pooping, then please read these articles for emergency instructions:

I hope that helps, and that your bunny will be his healthy self again soon.
