A few days ago, I went to go check on my rabbit. We found him limp and barely responsive. We took him inside and laid him down in his cage. His main body was facing one way and his bottom/hip was facing another. We weren't sure what to do. We just assumed he had fallen and was dying ( because he is like 9/10 years old) We placed some food and water beside him. And tried to feed him. He was able to move his feet, mouth head etc. So the next day we went to go check on him and he was still alive. His body had "flattened out" and he was just laying on his side. We chopped up some carrots and lettuce and rabbit pellets and fed them to him. He took them (He seemed to be VERY hungry) We gave him some water, we had to hold it right next to him because he couldn't really move himself to reach it. Later that day, we found him breathing very slowly. It looked like he was in pain. My dad was considering putting him down. But we just weren't sure. We picked him up out of his cage to bring him inside the house( He was in the garage with a heater warming him up) So we brought him in side and I just held him in my arms. It was like his head and feets could move just not the rest of his body. So we fed him some more and basically babyed him. With a little spoon thing of water and some baby carrots. Anyways throughtout the night we would check on him and make sure he was getting water. And today we basically repeated the same steps( babying him) He is still going to the bathroom. But seems im mobile. His eyes are open and he seems responsive. We thought it was Floppy Rabbit Syndrome. But we just wanted to get an opinion on it. We can't get him to the vet at this point in time. Is there anything we can do to help him or will he have to be put down.
