Sick Rabbit Emergency! please help

[MaS1029]

I have a Californian show rabbit that is housed outside. I woke up this morning and noticed it was sitting and leaning on the side of the cage. I have two other rabbits and they both jump around and get excited when I bring them food. I figured something was wrong and asked a relative to check on my rabbit a little bit later. He still wasn’t moving as much and kept leaning on the cage. I went outside again to check on him and his food had barely been touched and he had drunken little to no water. I was examining him and I put him back in his cage and he started shaking most of his body and his left paw. He then proceeded to lay down and almost fall over while he was shaking. I also noticed that he had dry poop around his bum and it seemed to stick to his fur. I’m not sure what to do at this point and I don’t have access to a vet nearby.

He’s in some kind of distress, and all you can do at this point is get him to a rabbit vet as soon as possible.

You have to get him to a vet. Really no other choice. If it 's a balance problem and he is leaning against the side of the cage because he will fall over if he doesn't, it's likely to be either an ear infection or possibly the parasite e. cuniculi, both of which would need to be treated with the appropriate medication from the vet(rabbit safe antibiotic for ear infection, fenbendazole for e. cuniculi, meloxicam anti inflammatory or possibly corticosteroid, sub q or IV fluids, daily syringe feeding food mix). Check the link below to see if you might have an experienced rabbit vet near by.
