A newly bought rabbit with whole-body twitching may have rabbit viral hemorrhagic disease; its peracute form often kills before treatment with brief excitement like screaming, struggling, and paddling, and prognosis is poor, so vaccination is the best prevention.
It may also be hypoglycemic shock from some illness, causing limp limbs, inability to lift the head, and rapid breathing; give emergency glucose by mouth and warmth, then rush to a vet for urgent care.
