The Daily Health Check

Health issues in bunny can be avoided by exercise, a good diet, and proper housing. I'll do a first aid kit lesson should any severe problems arise. If you see any of these signs in bunny then keep a close eye on her to see if the symptoms go away. Rabbits tend to hide pain and illness so please be vigilant when doing the DRHC!

Daily Rabbit Health Check (DRHC):

.Lack of appetite (not eating salads or other foods).

.Lethargic, unresponsive, or sitting in a hunched over position.

.No poop or pee in the litter box (ALWAYS check the litter box).

.Diarrhea or mushy poop.

.Smaller then normal poop in litter box.

.Poop strung together with fur (more on these "pearl poops" later).

.Hard/bloated or doughy stomach.

.Labored or very rapid breathing.

.Coughing, sneezing, wheezing, rasping or nasal sounds.

.Loud tooth grinding.

.Overgrown front teeth, lumps along the jaw and/or drooling.

.Discharge from nose and eyes.

.Straining to pee and/or spots of blood in the pee. Or even chalky-white urine.

.Scabs, crust or wax in ears. 

.Non-lop rabbit with a "flopped over" ear.

.Head tilt, difficulty with balance, or falling over.

.Sore-hocks (heals with open sores, redness or swelling scabs).

.Dandruff (possible fur mites).

If you see 2 symptoms in bunny then watch over her and if it consists for over 2 days then call the vet!
