I think my rabbit is dying

I'm taking him to the vets this morning after school run. I've got up this morning and he's had diarrhoea and he's sat in his bed and won't move, he never does this they are house rabbits and have free reign in the kitchen and dining room and usually when they are relaxing they are both cuddling up together or bouncing around. He hasn't been in the garden for a couple of days due to the weather so I doubt its something he's eaten outside.

He's only 2 and a half and I've had him from a baby, I've just got a horrible feeling :(

Any ideas what this could be? I'm too scared to Google

Sorry I don't know anything about rabbits apart from their a bit fragile. I hope he's ok.

He had GI stasis, he was very ill but after a couple of nights at the vets he's now back home with me, thanks for asking ❤️

Awhh that's good poorly Rabbit . Yeah our ones were brown and white, Sophie and Fudge one escaped for freedom and the other did died from a bad faeces disease.

Before that I had gerbils who woke

Up at night , I've always wanted a Rabbit at the flat I got the garden but it's near a Road .

plus I don't think we are allowed any pets on the terms of the contract on the apartment complex.

Did the vets give you Fibreplex or something similar? A probiotic paste. It's very helpful.

Good to see he is recovering. Does he have constant access to green hay and water?
