Hi, I just joined today, this is my first thread but unfortunately its a sad one 
My dwarf lop Nemo died today unexpectedly. It's been a week since he has been neutered. Last Friday I took him to the vets who had told me that they had performed this operation many times. I phoned in the afternoon and they said everything had gone well and I could pick him up at 5.00pm. When I got there they were about to hand him over when they realised that he was bleeding slightly so they kept him and I later had a call off the vet who said he was going to take him home. He said he was a bleeder.
The next morning they rang again and said he was perfectly fine again and that we could pick him up at 4.00pm. We picked him up and he was quiet but eating well. A few days later I adopted a 6 month female bun and they sat by each other in their separate cages. We also took him for a check at the vets on the wednesday and he was healing great. For the next week I had never seen him so happy and he seemed back to his usual cheeky self.
Today we went out and at the end of the day came back to find him lay in his cage dead. There was a couple of patches of blood but not much. We took him to the vets and he said he had died of blood clogging.
I just cant get my head around it because he had been perfectly fine for this whole week an then suddenly he's gone. Does this happen very often and has it got anything to do with the vet or is it just bad luck?
Thank you for reading
