When you know something's wrong with your rabbit, instead of asking online to find out what could be wrong, you should bring the rabbit to the vet. The vet can tell you what's wrong (if anyone can), and possibly save it's life (which you likely can't do on your own, even if you did know what was wrong).

If you must ask online to find out what's wrong, ask your question in rabbit-specific forums: that way you'll have a better chance of finding the answer.

See the links below for info and helpful links about rabbit vets and forums.

Here are some suggestions about your specific situation:

- it is either acting weird, it broke a bone, or he can't breathe, but the worst thing that could happen is that he could die.

How do you talk to a rabbit?

You have to understand their body language. If your rabbit grunts or tries to pee on what its grunting at it is saying "I don't like when you do that. I'm mad" If a rabbit is mounting another rabbit, the rabbit on top is saying "I'm the dominant rabbit. I'm in charge here." If the rabbit on the bottom is staying still, it is saying "I know you are in charge." If the rabbit on the bottom is trying to get on top, it is saying "You are not in charge, I am." If your rabbits are not fixed, these mounting behaviors might mean they are mating. If your rabbit has its ears flat back on its back and you are petting it and the rabbit is staying still, it is saying "That feels good. You are making me calm." If you stop petting your rabbit, and it nudges or nips you, it is saying " Why did you stop? Keep petting me." If your rabbit is laying down it is saying "I am tired. I am calm" If one rabbit is laying down in the same cage as another rabbit it is telling you "I feel calm with this other rabbit. They are not a threat. I can trust them." If two or more rabbits are laying very close to each other or next to each other, they are saying "This other rabbit is my buddy. I trust them very much." If one rabbit is grooming the other, it is saying " This rabbit is my friend."


Are rabbits born or hatched?

Viviparous means to give birth to live young. Rabbits, like most mammals, do this, as opposed to laying eggs.


What does it mean when a rabbit rolls over on its belly?

Is this question - what does ti mean when my rabbit lays on it's belly? he could be too hot and by laying on the cool floor of his cage he is cooling himself off. Is this question - what does it mean when my rabbit rolls over and shows me it's belly? The rabbit is a playful creature, almost as much as a cat. He could just want a rub on his tummy.


Your rabbit is breathing very heavy and keeps laying down What is wrong with her?

If your rabbit is panting heavily, she may be ill, or she may just be exhausted from running around. Whenever you're concerned your rabbit may be ill, observe her health and behaviour for signs of illness (see related question below for details). If you think your rabbit is ill, bring it to the vet -- better safe than sorry!

What would a rabbit do if there was a dog tied up?
