Sadly, my beautiful rabbit passed away sunday night. We would of sent her the vets when we found her, but we couldn't afford to send her away for an autopsy. She had always been playful. She used to live with her friend, but for some reason the other rabbit began to attack her and they were separated. Neither of them were bothered to much from being apart, but I wonder if they fought because the other rabbit knew she was ill. It was bonfire night on friday, so there were many fireworks and I locked her in her bedroom area (That's big) with food and drink for a night. The next day she was at her usual self but at night I didn't lock her in, however the next day she was fine. We moved her hutch to shelter her from the cold and I held her, and she replied by snuggling into my neck as usual. That night it was that she passed away. In the morning I found her stretched out on the floor. she had her mouth open as well as her eyes. I was shocked because I wasn't expecting it. I mean you do when they get older but she was only a one year old. She never went outside much in the cold. She would sit at the top of her ramp and watch the world go by. I'm not saying she was lazy and never moved, because she would do. She would usually drink 3/4 of her (600ml) water bottle, but by the morning and from the day she had hardly drank anything. I do not know why this happened. Thankyou for taking time to read this. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks again.

Thank you. Yes Rest in Peace Bud. Misty is having her vaccinations tomorrow so I will get them to check her over then. Thank you for the support.

Thank you. And thank you for replying. When they were fighting I separated misty into a insulated shed and bud went into the hutch. They both seemed to prefer being separated. I didn't show Misty Bud when she died because I didn't want her to stress or catch anything if it was under them circumstances. Misty seems fine, I honestly don't think she knows anything, but i'd rather her think she was just down the other end of the garden than where she is now.

Thank you for welcoming me. And for understanding, times like this it makes me feel a whole lot better just to know that somebody understands.
