Post mortem question

So I have Sophie's post mortem results back today. He said it showed that her liver was very enlarged and engorged, Alvin's liver was also very enlarged and his adrenal gland was enlarged as well. They died within 3 weeks of each other and with similar symptoms (going very limp and laboured breathing) but he doesn't know if it's connected or just bad luck. He wants to send off samples but if it is a new virus or something it won't be able to stop any of my others getting it anyway. I'm worried for my other four but I don't know if there's any point in sending off samples if it's just going to tell me it's her liver. Do you think there's any point in sending off samples?

I would if it was me, just in case.

We did this when we lost 3 of our bunnies at the same time. Unfortunately the tests didn't show anything but it helped put my mind at ease for the other buns.

If it is something new, the vets might be able to learn from it (I hope that doesn't sound horrible, you know what I mean )

I think I would send off the samples anyway- I would then know if it was infectious or not, otherwise I would be constantly worrying when I may just have been coincidence or something treatable if the others did catch it.

Sorry for your loss.

Personally I would get tissue samples sent off

I am so sorry for your loss of Sophie and Alvin

Thank you, I think I will get the samples sent off so that I know. So worried I'm going to lose another one but I'm just hoping I've been unlucky recently

Oh how worrying I would definitely get the samples sent off, hope all the other buns stay healthy xx
