It is a very strange problem and here it goes (sorry for my bad English):
Last night our city has strong typhoon (not sure whether it is related), when my wife and I came back home, the rabbit behaved very strangely, its eyes seemed to be "fallen" (i.e. almost closed) while in the past he is very active. And he did nothing but seat at the cage. And he didn't eat or drink. I thought he was very thirsty just lose the ability to drink, and I was right because when I held the bottle above his mouth and he could drink it, but I need to push the ball for him because he seemed to forget how to use it. Then my wife got him a bowl of water, and he only drink using that bowl.
Then we take him to the vet this morning, both the vet and his assistants said he is very normal and nothing seemed wrong, they asked us to observe him for a day and feed him with the grass powders. And he seemed to get better when back home (at least his eyes are not as "fallen" as last night).
However, we feel like he is completely a different rabbit, he treats us like stranger, and didn't seemed to be interested at anything around him (while he is very curious in the past), he didn't eat grass or the food, didn't know how to use the bottle to drink (but he did drink if we give him a bowl of water). When we take him out of the cage, he didn't seem like to move and he looked at me like we are completely strangers and very frightened.
He is about one year old, boy and a lop ear rabbit. Any one has the same experience and what could be the cause? Thanks very much in advance!
