Anorexia in a rabbit is very concerning because rabbits have a tendency to develop gastric stasis. This is a life-threatening condition where the stomach and intestines stop moving and fill with gas. This is very painful for the rabbit. I would recommend taking Peggy to be examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible. She will likely need some medication to help her gut get moving again as well as some pain medication. You will need to start force-feeding her a herbivore critical care supplement as well. I hope this helps. Best of luck with Peggy. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
