Lethargic Lop Rabbit

Question
my friend has a looped eared rabbit and just recently he has been having some problems and we are not sure what is wrong with him. He is not acting like himself he just likes to lay all the time and is not very active anymore. He is still eating and drinking, but just not active. I was wondering what could be wrong with him?

Answer
Dear Renee,

First thing to do is to check if he's ill, using these tips:

If he's lethargic, that's not normal, and it would be wise to have him checked by a good rabbit vet, just to be sure all is well.  You can find a good vet here:

I hope that helps get you started.
