Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Sounds like a neurological incident but have never seen a Bun have this as a result of a GA. Could the Bun actually have had one CVA when origionally found collapsed, made a recovery on supportive treatment only for the GA to exacerbate the condition :?
Was the dental problem an incidental finding rather than primary cause of initial collapse :?
Has EC been considered, although with rapid onset of initial collapse that does not seem a likely cause :?
I assume steroids/fluids and supportive feeding are now all that can be done. Ensuring Bun is always clean (high risk of flystrike)
All just guesses really
Hopefully Jaypot will see this as she is likely to be more knowledgable.

had an older rabbit with bad back teeth, he was about 9 years old. i knew there was a bigger risk with him being old, but our vet is amazing with rabbits and guineas so i knew he was in good hands. when he came round from the anaesthetic he couldnt move his back end properly and wasnt himself. the vet said it was just an adverse reaction to the anaesthetic, he would either recover in 24 hours or never and would need to be put down. i dontknow why it happened, but he didnt recover. the vet said he would have recovered if he had been younger, but he was old and not up to the stress, his body just couldnt repair it. might be worth looking into, but with your bun being so young, he should recover with some care.

Sounds as though there's been some sort of growth or infection / abscess in the teeth and gums, causing problems with eating and drinking plus nerve endings. During this summery heat it doesn't sound very good. I hope the vet is able to help you out. Best of luck, positive vibes sent out.
