Today Shakespeare was suffering, he had labored breathing and was sitting staring at the corner of the cage. The look in his eyes was of pain, and I couldn't have this little friend who had been through so much with me suffer any longer. This morning I had him put to sleep. My heart is...

I don't know what to do. I have been putting him in his cage (which is fairly large) when I leave for the day. I didn't close it this morning, but when I came home he was still in there. He didn't eat anything.... I got him out of his cage and he was still alert enough to chew on my hair and the...

UPDATE: Shakespeare's appetite has gone, he is barely eating anything at all. He goes from being very calm and quiet to rushing around the apartment searching for I know not what. He has started to try and locate me when he is about to have one of his episodes. He freaks out everytime I give him...

He has been very low key today, and was not happy when it came time for the medicine. He didn't even come out of hiding when I came home like he usually does. I brought him to his evening dinner of greens, and he is eating at least. He hasn't been doing much of anything other than eating and...

Thank you both for your responses. Shakespeare was given a steroid shot to help with the inflammation as well. As for the opossum face, it has started to occur when I give him his medicine as well, mostly I believe because I am touching his face. What was the outcome with your rabbit? Didhe...

Update: Shakespeare's episodes are more frequent, and seem to occur when he gets excited and greets me. His mobility has improved, but the odd thing is that he has started to run around the apartment, stops to eat, then runs around some more. He seems to be a little restless, i am not sure if...

The article about loss of control in the back legs is kinda familar, he has been having some difficulty with them in the last week or so as well. He is still hopping about but has had trouble getting in and out of is cage, and when he tries to wash his face he occasionally can't keep the back...

Thanks for the links and info. I have been trying to read as much as possible so that I am as informed as possible. It seems that these episodes are occuring when he gets excited. It just happened again when I got home and gave him his dinner. Then he is fine, like nothing happened. It is...

Thanks for moving it to the infirmary, I am new at this whole thing and not sure what to do. All I know is that I am really worried about the little guy.

I have an 8 year old dutch named Shakespeare, and he has naturally started to slow down over the last couple of weeks. He is normally a very active bunny who likes to jump and climb, run as fast as he can and in circles whenever you crinkle his treat bag etc... Lately he has been laying around...
