Bunny probs

Question
I just got a baby lop at the pet store and it seems to be fine. But it ahs been a week now and it hasn't gotten any bigger. It is very skinnny, but seems to be eating some food. I was just wondering if I sould bring him to the vet or just wait it out.  

Answer
Dear Mariah,

If the bunny doesn't have a great appetite, and is thin, I would get him to a good rabbit vet right away to check for intestinal parasites or other maladies that can be treated so he can get back on the track to health and growth.  If he has *any* sign of runny stool, you should consider it an emergency, and get him to the vet right away.  Please see:

You can find a good vet here:

I hope this helps, and that your baby will be well and sprouting soon!

Take care,
Dana
