Rabbit lost appetite

Question
My rabbit just started to lose appetite since yesterday. She seems only want to drink water and do not like to eat anything at all. Her temperature is a bit cold at the ear compare to before. Please help out.

Answer
Dear Max,

You're wise to be concerned at even slight symptoms like this, since rabbits tend to hide it when they're sick.  It could be serious, and any time a rabbit stops eating completely, it is cause for concern.  Please don't wait to get her to a good rabbit vet, whom you can find here:

and please read the following in advance, so you'll know what to do in the meantime.

and

(Not eating is a sign of incipient, if not full-blown ileus, which must be treated immediately!)

I hope this helps get you started.
