jumping around in a panic due to discomfort

The cause of a rabbit's erratic jumping

A rabbit's random jumping mainly occurs because it feels uncomfortable, which can be attributed to two aspects: physiological and pathological. On the physiological level, the reasons may include thirst, hunger, or the need for the owner's care. On the pathological level, it's mainly caused by illness, such as foreign objects entering the paws, or pain caused by various diseases.

What happens to a rabbit after being scared

Rabbits have small hearts and are naturally vigilant. They are very sensitive to sudden noises. When scared, they will hide or run away quickly. Even their appetite may decrease, and the possibility of death is quite high. Therefore, rabbits should be placed in a quiet environment, and their lives should not be disturbed easily. Give them a comfortable living space.

Symptoms of a rabbit's illness

The symptoms of a rabbit's illness are related to its specific illness. Generally, when a rabbit is ill, it will show signs such as decreased appetite, lethargy, and reluctance to move. If it's a gastrointestinal disease, the rabbit may also experience constipation or diarrhea. If it's a respiratory disease, the rabbit may show symptoms like rapid breathing or mouth breathing.

What to feed a sick rabbit

First, the owner needs to know what illness the rabbit has, and then treat it accordingly. If the owner cannot determine the rabbit's illness, it is recommended to take the rabbit to a veterinary hospital for inspection. If the rabbit has a cold caused by catching a chill, the owner should first place the rabbit in a warm and wind-protected spot, and then buy veterinary cold medicine at a pet store to feed the rabbit. If the rabbit has indigestion or enteritis caused by improper diet, the owner should buy appropriate veterinary antibiotics and diarrhea medicine to feed the rabbit.
