Mum came in earlier and said that she was a bit concerned about Pebbles. she was flopped out but was all wet around the mouth and was breathing so quickly. The other two were fine, odd as they are bigger and darker fur.

I brought her indoors and her ears were so hot. Cooled them down with a wet cloth and just sat with her, and she groomed me, still all wet around the mouth. It was quite scary. after about 15 mins she was okay and now she is 100% fine, but it was very scary. If she had been out there much longer we might not have been so lucky!

Thank goodness you knew what to do. Poor Pebbles. Glad she is better now.

Was scary because the other two were fine and Jelly always gets hot because she is a dark bunny and Domino does because he is a fatty - Pebbles is always fine. She must have laid outside for too long, even though they had so much shade.

Glad Pebbles was ok... I give my 2 frozen water ice bottles from the freezer to keep them cool in the summer. They love them and lay on them ...
