My rabbit Laura was a lionhead rabbit who was approximately 3 years old ( we don't know her age exactly as we rescued her from a shelter). She was a house rabbit and was fine when I put her to bed the other night. In the morning she was very quiet and when we went to pick her up her front legs and neck seemed paralysed. She could hop but only using her back legs and dragged her front legs along. She was not any better by linchtime, she seemed to be bumping into things and just staying in one corner of her home, facing inwards. I took her to the vet who said she had a blocked gut and needed to stay in for gut injections. He gave her some fluid injections and a gut injection and said the remainder injections would start in the morning as the were about to close. I didnt like the idea of my poorly bunny being all alone so I asked if I could take her home and bring her back first thing. The vet agreed on the condition I fed her a recovery mixture via a syringe. I took her home in the car and got stuck in traffic. She seemed to deterioate rappidly on the car journey and seemed to be having seizures, her little body was moving like what i can only dedscribe as a fish thats not in water. I tried to calm her at the same time as driving and ended up with her on my knee instead of in the box next to her where she went all limp but was still breathing. At home she was very limp and couldnt stand at all. I tried feeding her the mixture but she just wasnt swallowing and it was dribbling out of her mouth. I put her in her home lying on her side. She had some more "seizures" she seemed to be tensing and panicing. I tried to calm her by stroking behind her ears. She eventually stopped breathing and died on top of her hay in her home. This was about an hour after I'd gotten home from the vets. Does anyone know why this could of happened. I'd like some idea as I think it'd make me feel better.
