Young Bun
Unfortunately I found my beuatiful british giant buck dead this morning. I can;t understand what I could have done wrong. He's only just past 1 year old, he has all his Myxo & VHD injections up to date, neutered at the earliest opportunity, feed only the right things with a constant supply of the best hay (dust-free). He was bonded with his sister and another neutered Netherland Dwarf male (who both seem to be fine after a thorough check).
I don't want to give too much detail, but I did notice that his 3rd eyelid was swollen & red when I found him this morning. I'm struggling to find anything that suggests what this is.
Does anyone have any ideas what may have caused him to pass on? I intend to have the other two checked by a vet, but I don't think this has been any form of disease as such.
It's just odd that he seemed otherwise healthy until I found him today.
We run a rescue service, and it's really disheartening to know the neglect other rabbits suffer before they come our way, and yet survive. And here I am giving the best possible care to a much loved bunny and I lose such a wonderful family pet without warning. I know it's awful to think that way, but.....
Anyway, any ideas/suggestions? I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong
