Warren Veteran
I was wondering if any of you on here had any clues as to what his cause of death was.Obviously without a post mortem nothing is certain.Rio was eight a big white/tortie mini lop,mixed breed.he had been to the vet a few times over the last year and a half with dentals and not eating properly.However he had put his weight back on and seemed happy in himself ,in fact the night before he was relaxed and slobbing on the carpet as usual no signs of illness at all.I was woken the next morning at 6.00 with him screaming (his cage was in my room) he was a total house bunny.I jumped up in fright and went to him he had collapsed with his back legs splayed out in obvious distress,his breathing was rapid . he stopped screaming after a few mins and I tried to move him to a more comfortable position,he then started screaming again.I went to get my niece she was his rabbit and when I went back into my room he was on his side and screamed once more then died.It was horrible,he didn't deserve to go like that.I assume something major,heart/stroke etc.sorry,I don't mean to upset anyone,poor boy Rio.
