Question
My 6 year old miniature lop has suddenly stopped eating and drinking. He falls over when he is sitting still, but is still able to run. He seems lethargic and is not acting like himself. What could this be??

Thanks!

Answer
Dear Jesse,

Please get your rabbit to a good rabbit vet IMMEDIATELY:

Waste no time.  This sounds very serious.  Please read this while you're in the waiting room, so you'll know what to ask, and what to expect:

I hope you can get him to a good vet ASAP.  Time is of the essence!
