Bunny left outside now experiencing problems
My mom left my bunny (10 weeks old) outside for about 4 hours, with the temperature being around 86 °F (30 °C). Then, when I went for it, its mouth was wet and its two front paws I have no idea how it got wet.
Also, when I went to pick it up it started to kick and jump, mind you it has never done this before, but I brought him in and now he is acting strange and laying weird (as illustrated by attached pictures).
Also, when he walks or hops he doesn't move positions and I have no idea what to do, does anyone know? Should I take him to the vet or what?
Please help, I'm worried.

In any cases like this EMERGENCY VETERINARY CARE is required. No matter what time of day or night. A vet can offer intravenous fluids and appropriate medications, that cannot be provided at home.
Any pet should not be exposed to extremes of climate, more so babies. They are more vulnerable and need more protection than adults. A 10 week old bunny has not long been weaned and vulnerable. Excessive heat can kill them and they should not be exposed to temperature above 65 - 75 degrees Fahrenheit(18 - 24 degrees Celsius)
In 86 degrees Fahrenheit heat (30 degrees Celsius), the baby bunny would need to be indoors in a cooler environment and have access to fresh water.
Yes you should probably take it to a vet it looks like an emergency. Your bunny may be about to die from dehydration or some kind of poisen or infection.Go now!
