How is the rabbit laying? You postedtwice within a minute but haven't added any details so we can help you.It can either be anything from a bunny flop to Gi Stasis.

A bunny flop-scary but harmless

GI Stasis-deadly

So help us help you.

hes lying on his hips all the time is he just lazy? i put is food and water neer him but nothing

 

do you have anyfresh pineapple or cannedpumpkin in the house ?

if so try giving himsome of that and see if ithelps , he may be blocked upand cant poop.

If that doesnt help you reallyshould get him to a Vetas soon as you can .


How long has it been sincehe hasnt eaten ordrank anything ??

 

[Simon and Rollie]

what dose the pinaple do should i give it too hiim all the time like as a treat sometimes if he gets better?

 

Pineapple will helpbreak up any furblockages that are in thereif thats whatscausing the loss of appitite

 

[Simon and Rollie]

should i give it to him once and a while anyway for it not to happen again like once a week or something?

 

you can give it asa treat but not often asit will make him poopmore than necessary , diareah isnt a goodthing with rabbits and toomuch will definately cause it

 

i dontgive pineapple as a treat but ido give it whenmolting season hits just in case, i would give him acouple bits now andnone again for at least a monthto make sure everythingpasses , is he a long hairedrabbit or a shorthaired one

 

[Simon and Rollie]

so a couple of little pices would do it once a week?

thanks for all your help! private message me plz

 

no not once aweek once a monthUNLESS he gets blockedup before that

 

[Simon and Rollie]

short haired

 

[Simon and Rollie]

ok thanks i wouldent want him to get dihria thanks

 

Your welcome

 

[Simon and Rollie]

why dose it matter if hes short or longed hair?

 

Long haired Rabbitstend to be more proneto fur blockagesas there is morefur for their bodies to contend with, making it harder forthe fur topass thru quickly
