My rabbit’s ears are hot; I cooled them with water but they get hot again—why?
Based on your description, hot ears in a rabbit may indicate a fever. A pet rabbit's normal temperature is about 38–39.5°C. First measure with a thermometer; if accompanied by symptoms like nasal discharge or lethargy, the fever is likely from infection or contagious disease. If cooling doesn't help and fever recurs, see a vet.
My rabbit has been trembling since yesterday, low energy, though appetite is okay, and feels warm. It normally loves to run around but these two days is unusually inactive and behaves oddly. But its droppings are normal.
A rabbit can tremble for many reasons - fright, nervousness, cold or hot weather, a chill or cold, or illness causing pain or fever. In summer, if kept in hot outdoor conditions it may breathe rapidly and shake; it is recommended to keep the rabbit in a comfortably temperature-controlled environment and observe. Given your description of trembling together with a warm body surface and lowered spirits, illness is quite likely; take its temperature, and above 39.5 C indicates fever. Such diseases can be hard to spot, so a vet visit is advised to rule out infectious disease such as rabbit pasteurellosis, an acute febrile septicemic illness that causes fever and trembling.

Warm thighs and belly may be normal surface temperature or fever; a dog's surface feels warmer than a human's, normal 38-39.2°C, above 39.5°C means fever. Confirm with a thermometer, then cool with alcohol wipes on paws, armpits and groin or cool compresses; if no improvement see a vet for fever meds and testing. Never use human meds.
