Sores on the tongue can also be due to kidney disease. There was a thread about this yesterday. A blood test would confirm this. If so the bunny will need fluid therapy to have a chance of recovery.
 
thankyou for the information im sat here in tears i think she has died now. they will get it confirmed by the vet but it would appear she just gasped inmums arms and has passed to the bridge .
 
Sorry to hear about the lose if he has gone. I lost my rabbit yesterday due to sores in this mouth and on the tongue. the vet said its a sign of renal failure.

My bun died in my arms which i was pleased about cos he new that i loved him when he died.

It will be very hard but your bun will know that you have tried very thing to help.
 
This is so sad, but 10 yr. is a long life for a rabbit. So this little bun obviously lives a good life. So sorry that she passed away.
