So yesterday I went out by the Holland's and notice then one of my best show does seemed a little...off? She is usually a spunky little doe that would come up to the door begging for food. Today she was in the back of her cage, just siting there in a strange position. She looked like she was in pain. A few days ago whenever I would reach for the door or near her she would growl. I haven't give her a reason to growl at me, since I haven't handled her in more than a week. Yesterday she stopped growling and was very quiet in her cage. Today was the same thing. I had to figure out what was wrong. I took her our and checked her ears, eyes, teeth, legs, tail, and her stomach for anything unusual and couldn't find anything. She hasn't eaten or drank which makes me feel like she is in pain. She sits in an awkward position with her back end slanted down. I felt her all over and couldn't find something that was concerning, like a broken bone... I checked feed and found nothing (my other rabbits are eating) and checked her droppings and they were solid.
Let me know what you all think!
 
Has she been bred? Any new feeds or changes? She's in definite pain from the sounds of it. Need to figure out what's going on quickly. I'd check to see if she's dehydrated and push fluids to help get her going. A dehydrated bunny is not going to last :(
 
pinched nerve?

If nothing is broken I'd be going for soft tissue damage...

a baby aspirin might be in order...
