Hmm. Last time I googled it, I came up with loads of stuff, but now, all I can find is stuff saying that it's not real, etc, and is a name like 'snuffles' to identify something like EC, however, I had a bun who had it three times before she was 8 months and then lived to be 6 with no more problems, so that doesn't make sense to me. Sorry that's really unhelpful to you though.
I'll keep trying to look for what I found before, but it's probably irrelevent. I hope that the tests results show it's nothing contagious or anything.
Take care.
Edit, I found this.
'Vitamin A toxicosis and vitamin E deficiency was diagnosed in a commercial rabbit-breeding colony and was associated with reproductive abnormalities, abortions, and poor survivability of kits in the breeding colony. Paresis and muscular dystrophy were noted in juvenile rabbits. ' from

I've now found a lot of formal documents after googling 'vitamin E deficiency, rabbits' that atlk about vit E deficiency causing paresis in juveniles. But again, not sure it's relevent in this case.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
