So it's been a while....I'm still shocked by what happened, but that's not the point. The autopsy didn't reveal anything since they've sent it to a place where they only do "viral" examination of the body. The person who performed the autopsy said that she saw some kind of stuff around the lungs...

Yes, they mentioned that, however that was not an option, since there were no doc who could do the anesthesia. I was pushing them to do an xray without anesthesia, like I will hold the rabbit, or just try it at least once we might be able to do it without anesthesia. However they told that its...

So visited the vet: The ear is definetley bigger and warmer, however otoscope examination was flawless, everything is okay inside. The vet took a sample of the inside wax: no parasites or any that kind of stuff. Meloxy 2x1ml until Monday. Well....

Ok I think it got worse. Now he is not even letting me touch him. :( I will visit the vet.

I would say yes. Probably the behaviour will change since it is the hormons (among other things) that play a role in what they do. However I was told that male ones are probably much "nicer" even when neutered. Unless you want to him to be a father at some point I see no reason not to do it.

Hello, My bunny's right ear seems to be "down" all day. Whenever I lift it up, it "falls" back down. He was always like this (despite being a "standing ear" bunny) that placing her ears "downwards/all over the place" but I suspect something might be wrong. I smelled inside: nothing. No bruises...

Yeah, but what are they reasoning/argument? "no" because? It would be much easier to accept a "no" if one explains how he/she came to that conclusion. Keeping a small animal should be with looking at "what's best for the animal". (Let's put aside "not keeping them as pets would be the best...

This post of mine might go againts your "no go solutions". I'm really sorry but I can't seem to have a better answer: "no spaying" - If you don't neuter the bunny she will probably die because of uterine cancer when she is older. It is quite common in female Rabbits that are not neutered and...

I'm so sorry for your loss :(. Have you brought her to the vet? Maybe you could have asked for autopsy. Neuter complications can happen unforunatley. (From what I know it's not that common though, and most of the deaths occur due to a complication from the anesthesia and not the actual operation)

I would say that if he is a helthy bunny with a proper diet (hay, water and nothing else like fruits) then he "should" be okay. I would just call the local vet and ask them about it. It's not that easy to actually poison Rabbits however due to some "hidden" problems a Rabbit can have (that you...

...And it happened. He is alone now. I'm with him every minute. Yesterday when She passed I don't think he realized it since when we came back from the vet he flopped like 3 times. But I think it is today that he realized that she is gone.

I'm thinking about requesting an autopsy. This last week was really strange: -Either the thymoma grew so much that she could no longer breath properly (however last week monday we were at the vet and she told us that her breath is about the same as 2 months ago) -The steroid affected her liver...

Thank you for your kind words. So we took her to the emergency vet, and she passed away in the car on the road. They were able to bring her back to life for a brief moment but that was about it. Her stomach was really gassy and also her breathing was really bad. If you want I can share some...

Not really. I should have noticed that its a breathing problem and shoul have taken her to the vet earlier. Anyway..........ah, maybe I will write some tomorrow, or after that. I really can't right now.

Anyone who is administering these forums: You can close this topic. She passed away an hour ago.

Hopefully. She has stopped eating. So we fed 30ml Critical care 3 times today. Will continue tommorow as well.

So blood test results: The steroid affected her liver so we are administering her liver protector.

You're better off asking a vet about it. My opinion: no. Especially RHD2 vaccines tend to be "strong" on the rabbits health system. With an ear (and also "suspected") infection who knows what a vaccine would cause (what side effect would trigger) I wouldn't risk it.

He is still eating oxbow digestive and multivitamin which are hard to chew, also I tampered around her mouth (outside) to see any reaction/discomfort from her, but nothing. Anyway I will report back on the vet's findings.

So now after reaching 1.52 kg weight she is down to 1.44. Not eating as much as in the beginning. She still eats the same amount of pellets and all the vitamin tablets however: 5 minute hay eating per session. She is still drinking a lot. I don't know why. Poops are normal, and they don't seem...
