Yesterday, my female netherland drawf stopped eating, drinking and pooping. It just sat hunched over in its cage and grunted when anyone came near. Naturally i assumed the worst and google was telling me it could die anytime, so i sat with it all night and tried to feed it alfalfa hay and water. It started being active again yet had these random sharp, raspy inhales at times and hunched his back while doing that. I finally caught it and it had a lot of poop stuck to its bottom, no wonder nothing was at the bottom of its cage.. I clipped away it all and it poops regularly and its eating now and its very active now too, relaxed and all. Minus it eating its hair, that part's confusing..
My point is. Those symptoms are gone, but it still has these sharp spasms sometimes. Do i need to take it to the vet? Its really worrysome! And how can i reduce irritation around its bottom from the poop that was there?
The rabbit's never done this and its not in dirty conditions, by the way.
We were simply gone 2 days for Christmas and it didnt get out of its cage so poop just accumulated from it sitting down.
