        My rabbit suddenly fell ill, like really suddenly she got tired of all the sudden. And now she won’t even bulge. and stand on her own. I’m planning to bring her to the vet. Tomorrow morning because all vet clinic in our area right now are closed.

          Welcome to BB JM. I’m sorry to hear your rabbit is feeling ill.

          Because rabbit conditions can decline very rapidly, I suggest seeing if you can bring your rabbit to an emergency vet immediately. Not moving, standing, eating, etc.. for longer than 12 hours (which I assume would be tomorrow morning) can have disastrous consequences, including death unfortunately. It’s very important she’s seen by a professional ASAP.

          Can you describe the circumstances approaching her illness? The more information you can provide a veterinarian, the better. Was she pooping a lot of furry poops, so maybe there’s a blockage? Was her appetite already decreasing before today? Has there been any major stressors which may have triggered her to stop eating?

            Im sorry to hear this. Im most likely in a different time zone to you.  How long do you think it will be before you can get her to a vet?

            What is her breathing like?
            Are you able to take her temperature.
            This gives some instructions how to go about that. http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/sickbun.html

              If you think it’s heat stroke you must cool her down asap, start with wetting her ears. You can also mist them with a water spray bottle.
