Worried about Millie

[Bunnys_rule63]

I went out to see my bunnies and Millie wasacting very strange, she didn't hop over to see me, she was sittinghunched up shaking (its not cold, its quite warm)and shewouldn't eat. I put them to bed afew minutes later but she was alreadyin the back of the hutch. I checked on her and she seemed bright enoughbut she wouldn't eat, Millie ALWAYS eats. I'm probably worried aboutnothing but i'd rather be safe than sorry. Please reply soon, i'mworried....:?

Have any conditions changed? Gotten hotter or colder? Please, call your vet. It's not nothing.

It has been hot today, well for England...I'm worried now, REALLY worried, my vets are closed, omg what am i going to do!!

 

[Shuu]

Try putting in a plastic water bottle with coldwater with her. She may be getting too hot. Try to calm her down andentice her into eating with a favourite treat. If you have a syringefeed her water through it.

I've just been outside, she isn't shakinganymore but she is still in the back, i had a piece of broccoli in theback with her i gave her just before and she was nibbling the top ofit, she seems ok, i'm just shocked, i checked their water and it'scoming out fine, it's not hot anymore, evening cool i'd say, Ruby seemsfine. I'll keep checking on her but she seems ok at the moment. I hopei'm just being an over-protective bunny mummy!!

Keep watching her. If she's outside she probably heard a bird or some other animal and got scared.

I looked at the weather report for your area and saw that it's only about 66F/19C
so heat or humidity (low) shouldn't be a factor here. Ifshe's not eating by tomorrow morning, I would take her to see yourVet. I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help toyou. It's so hard to give advice when all the factors are notknown. There is also the possibility that somethingfrightened her. I do hope she is better by themorning. Charlotte

She might have gotten scared by something. Try spending some time with her.

I would agree with Ed. If you want to make sure she is fine, call the vet when you have a chance to.

Furthermore, maybe you can hang out with Millie for a few minutes orso. Maybe she'll be more better from your comfort.

PHEW!! I went out this morning and she is fine,she is her usual self, she is eating well and happily hopped into therun when i let them out, not like yesterday when she wanted to beinside. I'm so relieved, as you said she was probably scared ofsomething. I don't think i'll need the vet but i'll keepaneye on her today just in case. Thanks for your help everyone!
