I'm so sorry to hear that - it must have been awful for you, especialy as he seemed to be doing okay. What did you originally take him to the vets for?
 
oh poor thing. If he seemed fine this morning he may have died from a heart attack/stroke especially if he was an older bun and had been under the weather recently , in which case it would have been very quick.

Sorry have just read the other thread to catch up.

The problem for us with rabbits is that they are very good at concealing if there is something wrong so we often don't know there is anything wrong until it's very wrong. By the sounds of it you did all you could for Charlie and he was lucky he had someone who cared so much about him.

If it is still worrying you perhap you could give your vet a ring tomorrow to discuss any concerns or if he could give you any feedback.
 
Oh Gem, I'm so so sorry. I can't find the words to say how sorry I am, or imagine how you must be feeling right now, especially after you lost your Gizmo so recently too.

Sending you loads of hugs and best wishes.

We just don't get it, he ate all of his food today, was hoping about as normal. he was even interested in Roxy. Now i'm panicing about Obi and Roxy.
This has been a **** year, first nibbs, then gizmo and now Charlie :cry: :cry:

I dont want him to have a post mortam because i feel that this is wrong. but then i'm torn. I don't get why it was so quick either, with gizmo we had 12hrs and the fact that she didn't want to eat. but charlie tucked into his breakfast happily today and we left the house at 2pm, i locked his hutch just before we left. we returned to find him lying dead in his run. No discharge or anything abnormal at all.

I feel that i'm going to return home again and find another gone!!!!!
 
So sorry to hear your rotten news. It is so bad when they have appeared to be well and then die. I had that with my Chester so know how you must be feeling. Thinking of you. Pam
 
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news.:( As someone else has suggested, it's probably a god idea to call your vet and see if they can throw any light on it, least that way you will know if you need to do anything other than you already are to protect the others from the possibility of something similar occuring

I am so sorry for your loss :cry:

Personally I think its essential that a PM is done on poor Charlie. You need to be as sure as you can that you do everything possible to find out what happened for the sake of your other Rabbits.
Once again, I am truely sorry :cry: :cry: :cry:
