You should take your rabbit to a vet annually for a physical exam, diagnostic testing, and possibly shots (depending on where you live). Older, pregnant, and outdoor rabbits, and rabbits with health concerns, should see a vet more regularly.

You should also take your rabbit to a vet when he is unwell. Signs that you should go could be: your rabbit refuses to eat for more that one or two days; he does not move and/or looks very tired; he grinds his teeth loudly for no apparent reason; you find an abscess anywhere on the body; he broke a bone; etc. When in doubt, please call your rabbit-savvy vet and ask him or consult reference books on rabbit health.

well i would take it to the vet if it has stopped eating for at-least 72 hour maybe 12 more or try it on different food if you try and give your rabbit a unusual food like bread or apple maybe cabbage that would be good. It could be that the rabbit is pregnant or dehydrated which could lead to being ill or a step from dieing but that would be a little bit to far for it to die from dehydrated

also I would try bottled water or in a bottle

My rabbit is lying on the floor on its back not moving much does this mean its dying my rabbit its not her useal self?

This could mean it is dying. But before I give you possible reasons to why this is happening you will need to tell me... - How old the rabbit is -Has anything like this haappened in the past - What does her poop look like (no i am not kidding) - Is she spayed? - Has she ever had any babies? - Has she been aroung a male rabbit in the past 3 weeks? - Were did you get her? - Does her urine look/smell unusual? - What brand of food do you feed her? -Does she use litter? If so what kind? - Is she mainly an inside or outside rabbit? Even then, I may not know what the probablem is. The best thing to do right now is take her to a vet. Please, take her to a vet.


Your rabbit is not herself she is lying on her back and not moving is she dying?

I would say you need to take her to the vet as soon as you can. If a pet rabbit is not eating or pooping one needs to take it to the vet. A pet rabbits life span is 9 to 12 years.
