We found one of our bunnies dead in the hutch this (Friday) evening. She was a French Lop and just 2 1/2 years old. She'd been neutered and lived with her brother Earl (also neutered). They were checked by the vet in May when they had their Myxi jabs and appeared fine and well. They've been in an outdoor run during the day for the past few days (with a sheltered area) and haven't had free access to the garden since Sunday (so unlikely to be any plant that she shouldn't have eaten). Our garden is fully enclosed and they, therefore, have no access to other wildlife. Betty was fine (her normal grumpy self!) when she was fed this morning and it's not been too hot today (certainly much cooler than recent temperatures).
There's no evidence of anything on her body (no blood, mucus, sweating, etc). She was just laid out on her side when we found her.
It's not a great time to be arranging a PM for her and I'm really worried about Earl in case it's VHD (which I've only learnt about this evening whilst searching the net).
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
