Why is my rabbit lying with her back end raised? Is she bloated?

Question

Could my rabbits unusual resting position mean she is bloated? She never has her back end rised like this. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | spayed | 2 years and 7 months old | 3.5 lbs

She does not appear bloated in thee photos. I don't know why she may be laying in this position. I just suggest you monitor her closely for the next few days to see if the behavior continues and watch for any other signs of illness (not eating, not moving much, etc). If the behavior continues and/or you notice any abnormal symptoms then she should be examined by your vet.
