Signs that a Rabbit is Sick

Most of the time I am able to tell whether or not a rabbit is sick based upon several different signs and the years of rabbit care experience I have acquired. 

Here is a list of signs that could indicate that your rabbit is sick or has some other type of problem…

  • Stops eating its food (in my opinion this is the number one indicator that something could be wrong with the rabbit)
  • Quits drinking water, if you notice that a rabbit isn’t drinking any water you can definitely assume that the animal is ill
  • Becomes unusually inactive
  • Starts acting very aggressive towards others
  • Begins to shake its ears more than normal
  • Develops abscesses or lumps on its skin
  • Experiences common cold symptoms such as a runny nose
  • Begins sneezing more than usual
  • Starts losing random patches of fur (seasonal molting doesn’t count)
  • Discharge or puss becomes visible around the rabbit’s nose
  • Your rabbit consistently scratches a certain location or starts pulling out patches of fur the act of pulling fur with the purpose of making a nest doesn’t count)
  • Develops a fungus somewhere on its body
  • Simply starts to act strange
