QuestionOur rabbit is about 3 months, not sure what breed but, we were told he is a Netherland Dwarf and a male. His ears are long and have started going down along the sides. Today he seems like he doesn't feel well. I have seen him eating Timothy Hay this morning and his poo seem hard compared to what it has been, but that is based on only a few. He also seem hot to me. Can you help?
AnswerTo find out if he is running a fever, you need a thermometer. The instructions for taking his temp can be found here: http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/sickbun.html
If he is running a fever, then it'd be best to get him to a vet to figure out why he is ill.
Here is some information on medical emergencies, just for your reference: http://www.rabbit.org/journal/2-4/emergency-preparedness.html
Good luck.
