I found him this morning when I came home from work (I work third shift). He’s laying next to his food dish, still mostly full of last night’s pellets. His breathing is somewhat labored, though he doesn’t appear to be stressed. His whole body is chilled. In less than twelve hours, he’s gone from an eating, drinking, pooping, happy rabbit, to this – he looks as though he’s sunk in on himself. Occasionally, he’ll dip his head into his water dish to drink, but that’s it.
I’m not sure what to do. My gut tells me that this could really, truly be the end. He hasn’t been a 100% healthy rabbit for over nine months. I’m debating whether or not a trip to the vet would be a good idea, or would make things worse (he does NOT handle car rides well).
It’s been almost exactly one year since Peanut died.
