For what it's worth, our Missy ate foam rubber,stopped eating, and was successfully operated upon to remove the masswithin her stomach. My point is, that they can survive such acritical operation.
Having said that, we had the services of an Emergency Pet Hospital withover 25 veterinarians on staff and the utmost of moderntechnology. Most specialties were covered and thosevets who did surgery, only did surgery, hence they are very well versedin most procedures. Ir was an expensive proposition, butafter all was said and done, the cost came in under initialestimates. I've never had that happen before, for anything.
The name/address of the hospital is Garden State VeterinarySpecialists, one Pine Street, Tinton Falls, NJ 07753, 732-922-0011,Fax: 732-922-0991,

They work on animals by referral only and one needs a veterinarian'sreferral, however, contact with them might elicit information regardingknowledgeable and experienced vets in your area. Theirwebsite says emergency cases don't need an appointment, though.
House Rabbit Society also maintains list of knowledgeable rabbitveterinarians throughout the country. Link to that sourceat:

My heart goes out to you. I understand the stress andconcern. An x-ray should be able to tell if thereis a mass within the stomach, at least confirming what the problem is.
Good luck and prayers to you and the bun from here.
So sorry, I just realized you are located in Canada and none of this information is pertinent to you.
Prayers and luck still directed your way from here.
