Why is my young rabbit twitching and looking like it's dying?

Question

HELP! my 3 and 1/2 month old Female holland lop rabbit was twitching for about a minute yesterday after being taken outside. Just now she did it again and its very scary it looks almost like she is dying, but then she just stopped after about a minute and otherwise seems normal and is eating.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds like Mocha might be having seizures. This can occur due to many different causes including infections, inflammation, tumors, and other causes. If Mocha is eating, drinking, pooping and peeing normally right now, you can monitor Mocha for now. I would recommend however to have Mocha seen by a rabbit veterinarian as soon as you are able to get an appointment. I would also recommend trying to get one of these episodes on tape if you can, so if you see it happening try to record it. Best of luck with Mocha.
