On Sunday there was a beautiful 2 year old bunny admitted to the sanctuary where I work. Outwardly he looked the picture of health, apart from his claws being very long.
He went down for his neuter yesterday and on coming round from the anaesthetic his back end became paralysed. The vet x-rayed his spine and was quite shocked by what he saw.
Poor Domino's spine was just a mass of weak crumbly bone
He was PTS
The vet reckons that poor Domino has had such a poor diet as a baby his spine never developed properly and so was just a ticking time bomb, and he was lucky to never have become paralysed before now.
I am really gutted, Domino was such a sweet, friendly and cuddly little boy, and even though I only knew him for 3 days it felt like I had known him all his life.
Has anybody come across this before? I have only experienced this once, but in a much older bunny who had been severely neglected.
