OMG Phill, our heart goes out to you, you must be deeplyu upset and concerned for your other bunnies too
We were in this exact same position about seven years ago when not much was known about VHD and few bunnies were vaccinated. Our were not given VHD vaccine but after a new bunny arrived and died within 24 hours of entering the Sanctuary, we were suspicious and got a PM done.
This was inconclusive, but did not really matter anyway, as the Vet came out the same day teh bunny died (based on the symptoms of her death) and vaccinated the lot as an emergency.
This is your only chance if VHD is amongst your stock, but it has to be done immediately in an outbreak, not after test results come back. Any sudden death in an apparently healthy bunny is suspicious, two dying within such a short space of time is even more concerning.
You also need to avoid contact with the bunnies and have strict hygiene between them, as this helps with keeping the disease being spread to some extent.
It could also be another type of bug or poisoning, but sounds suspiciously like VHD.
VHD only has a short incubation period, so after the last death a 72 hour gap with no further bunnies showing symptoms usually puts you in the clear.
It is a good idea to sterilise the area, any surface that the bunnies touch every day for the next five to eradicate any disease on site.
Your Vet can always phone the Ministry for advice to help you protect your other bunnies, and it is a notifiable disease.
if there is anything at all we can do, you know you only have to ask.
Sending you all our love, and hugs, keeping positive for you, that the other bunnies will be fine.
Please keep us posted.

Ps sorry Phill my posting was submitted at the same time as yours :roll: and you have already got the vet coming out to vaccinate the bunnies.
PM me if you need a chat as I understand exactly what you are going through having been there ourselves.
No one has a right to shout at you, you are not to blame for this, and you are acting now to safeguard the other bunnies, that is what is important.
We are behind you all the way...and have everything crossed for you :wink:
