If he continues like this I would take him to the vet RIGHT away!
Is it hot where you are? He might be overheated. If so you can put a frozen water bottle in there for him to layagainst.
Have you been feeding him timothy hay? Ifhe has a blockage he should have access to Timothy hay and then bringhim to the vets.

If he's not acting himself...listen to yourinstincts!!!!! Thats what first alerted me to Corky's problems and itsa good thing I listened!!
Please try to get him to a vet as soon as you can and have him checked out, even if he's fine, then you'll both feel better!!
Please keep us updated and I'm sending out good thoughts and prayers for you both!

After a scare last night with Tiny, I'm going to say something that others will probably quote back to me in the future.
"You can never go wrong taking a bunny to the vet if you feel uncomfortable about them."
NEVER EVER EVER.
Tiny started acting funny on Tuesday and I called the vet and startedhim on Baytril. Wednesday night he got really worse (and westill don't know what it was) and I cried and cried because I knew ISHOULD have taken him to the vet even though it is 70 miles one way.
I'm so glad he's ok and I really believe that it is because of theprayers that went up on his behalf both from our family and thisboard. I still believe he might have had something wrong thatwe haven't caught yet and I'm still concerned. Let me tellyou - even though he went to the vet today - if I have to - I'll takehim back again tonight - even at midnight - if he needs it.
I will NOT hesitate again. He's just too special to risk losing and he can go downhill too fast.

Well I found out that my dad stopped by and gaveSnickers some wild carrots from his yard so I think that is what mightbe bothering him....(my dad doesn't use pesticides or anythingand hepicked him from his yard)
