Well stay calm, she can sense your panic.

Has she been eating and pooping normally?

Is she grinding her teeth?

Could she have gotten into anything?

What color are her gums? Pale pink? Bluish? Bright pink?

Rabbits heartbeats are always fast, first off. The refusal to eat and drink is a better indication.

Is she pressing her tummy to the floor and acting uncomfortable?

Or is she darting around her enclosure?

Do her eyes seem glazed over? Or are they wide and 'wild eyed'?

She may just be having a gas attack, or something frightened her.

What is her housing like? Is there covering over part of it? A box to hide in or at least a roof and a solid backing so she feels more protected? If not I'd put a blanket over part of it. That might help her calm down.

i will have to check her gums, she has done that were she has darted around in her cage i have it out in the open here in the living room so i could keep a close eye on her and her babys...she is an inside bunny! but i do have two crazy lil girls.... 2 and 6 and they get pretty loud sometimes i try to keep them quite cuz i do know it will stress daisey....but that dosent always happen! My 6 yr old helps with daisey's care and the babys and does a great job of it! She seems like she is doin alil better today is alil more calm....but seems alil aggravated.. will probally be moving her back into the room today..to see how much that will help.. only thing is that i have a alil Houdini that likes to get out of the cage!! thats one of the baby's so that was the main reason for keeping them in the living room! your right i think it could have been gas cuz i put my hand on her belly last night and i could feel it rumbling and popping....i rubbed it for her for about 15mins and that seemed to calm her...she has been pooping and peeing fine! eye's look clear..hopefully we wont have anymore problems like that! gonna limit her food intake for the next couple days and see if that will help settle her belly! thanks some much for your help!!!

Could the 2 year old have been crying? That could have made her scared, although the gas thing does sound pretty likely too.
