I have a bit of a problem with my rabbit. She's about three months old, still kinda small and I think she had a seizure. I just put her outside a few days ago with the other rabbits(all in different hutches) and she was fine, not even scared to be outside and eating fine up until I just went out to check on her. She was huddled in the corner and didn't come and greet me like she normally did and when I took her out she started to flop around. She couldn't stand up, just flopped around and when I picked her up again she stretched out and locked her body for a few moments before relaxing.
Now I have her inside, laying on her side on a towel. She's beathing sort of heavy and one of her eyes is looking towards her nose, half closed.

Did she really have a seizure? Was it because I put her outside and is there anything else I can do for her? Its going to be a shame if she dies, I just lost a rabbit not to long before I got her. It hasn't been that cold, she got along with the rabbit in the cage next to her, and the dogs don't bother with the rabbits.

pic not my rabbit.

Call the vet, and keep her warm. See if she'll eat; it's generally a good thing if they still want food.

I guess it's just a case of wait and see. Like before, keep her warm, and keep trying with the food and water.

Sounds like Gastrointestinal Statsis to me. I lost two house rabbits to it. The symptoms can be hard to notice, and suddenly the bun starts flopping around and dies within the hour :_( So sorry for you.

Oh, I hope that isn't it.. i tried doing that massage thing, i have no idea if that did anything for her. and its been more than an hour.

but now she seems more alert. Now both of her eyes are open, she was moving around a bit and twice she was moving her head as if she was chewing something. Though I'm not sure if she actually took a bite out of the food I gave her.

I had a rabbit that had problems like that. She died within hours. She was bought from one of those pumpkin patches, which like to leave their rabbits on the ground, where it is incredibly easy for them to catch horrible illnesses. And they can easily spread from rabbit to rabbit...I'm guessing every rabbit that was at that patch died from the same thing eventually. Really sad...
But there isn't much you can do if it is GS except for surgery and meds. It can be really expensive.

I hope your bunny is okay.

I lost a bunny to that once too... I never knew what it was until now. :( All my bunnies went outside regularly, but there was only one that ever died like this.

Hope your bunny gets better :(

be careful when handling her, and don't try to restrict her movements if she seizes again. you could break her back if she kicks too hard.

OP here, Sidney died. And I was just about to get a ride to take her to the vet.
stayed up with her all night so she wouldn't hurt herself. i just took her out to try and get her to drink some water and five minutes later she died in my arms. :(

bye sid.
and thanks for the advice guys.

That's horrible! <:( I'm so sorry... I wish there was more we could have done. At least you were there for her when she passed away, though. But maybe this cute little tiny bunny will cheer you up a bit! :3

Hey. Are you gonna eat it? May I have it?

You probably don't want to eat anything with an illness, especially if the animal died of it.

If shes a lion head, then they are quite prone to seizures. More so than any other breed. Not much you can do for her, I'm afraid.

Even though this was days ago and she has already passed on, no. Not a lion head.
I don't know what kind of rabbit but I guess the usual ones that are bred for meat and fur.
