So I noticed 2 days ago, my rabbit out of NO WHERE started acting extremely lethargic. He was out and playing and even hopped up onto my bed even though he knows he's not supposed to be up on the bed and always runs to the corner of my bed and tries to hide, but I am firm with him not getting on the bed cause he pees so I herd him off the bed.
Completely normal, playing, hyper, mischievous.
I then continue on with my laptop work like I do all the time (nothing dangerous or anything on the floor) and my mom comes in with a plate full of veggies and I noticed my rabbit was acting quite strange - very sluggish and not terribly excited with the vegetables (EXTREMELY unlike him, he is like 10x more excited than my other rabbit who is already crazy for food)
Yesterday I gave him simethicone and I did this morning also. He seemed to be better this morning, but still extremely lethargic. I was gonna call the vet, but decided to wait ONE more day. Like around an hour ago he was in his litter box and munching on some hay (I am out of the regular hay and I have some crappy bermuda grass hay until tuesday) and then he slept in the litter box (same lethargic manner) and then I walked into the cage and tapped on the floor and surprisingly he came running out of the litter box and to me, so I rubbed his head and looked in the litter box and I was relieved to see poops but they were quite small... I have included a picture with a regular sized poop to compare (not sure if it belonged to him or not)
What could be wrong with him? I don't even know WHAT could be the problem, if this sounds like ANYTHING (sickness or something) please inform me! I know it could be gas, does it sound like it?
In short, his symptoms are:
Lethargic
Not excited about food BUT has been eating
Hasn't eaten his hay as much as he does
Haven't seen him drink? I'm sure he has though, but I just haven't seen him?
Sleeping by himself while hunched in an uncomfortable stiff position, or with his stomach on the floor but feet are NOT flopped out (usually)
Pooping but they are small, darker, and a little sticky
