What does this sound like to you?

A lady that was interested in adopting a bun a while back called yesterday to say her bunnie passed away.
She told me this story.
She came home to find her house bun licking up a little bit ofblood from the carpet. (she though she was in season but im pretty sure buns don’t have theose kind of seasons (please correct me if im wrong)).
She checked the bun and she was okay but she found a tiny bit on the bun down below.
She was eating fine etc..
A couple of days later she found what looked like frog spawn on her bottom and she wiped it off.
She then noticed she was wet like urine wet. She kept it clean and popped her to the vets.
The vet said they found lumps but couldn’t be sure what it was kidney or uruterine (she hadnt got her speyed). She was told to bring her back 2 days later fro x rays
She was quiet but eating. The day before she was due to take her to the vets she'd returned from work and went to clean her bottom end again only for the bun to have a seizure and go to the bridge.

Sounds like kidney problems to me. What do you guys think?
 
Or VHD, Cocidiosis (sp) Other intestinal/stomach problems, UIT's theres no way to know for sure without a Post Mortum
 
That or a pyometra/ mucometra.

I think from what you've described a pyometra is possible - her symptoms are very similar to what our bridge bunny Jemima experienced & she had to have an emergency spey.

But without a pm it is difficult to be certain.
