Lord Lopsley-Frances Harcourt-Brown's Input...

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
Well FHB says she has never seen anything like Lopsley's case :shock: :cry:
She offered a few suggestions:
1-Hepatic Coccidiosis -Christabel thinks not as he did not have any clinical features of the disease

2-A Mutant form of VHD :shock: -Christabel thinks not as a) Lopsley was vaccinated b) None of my other rabbits have become ill.

3-Ingestion of a toxin- BUT WHAT...... :? :cry: and when :?

4-Liver cancer secondary to a Lymphosarcoma :cry:

Without numerous tissue samples (which I could not have afforded as I need the money for the Buns who are here)FHB says that it would be impossibly to guess 'what' or 'why'........ :cry:

She said any Hepatomegaly (gross liver enlargement) can cause loss of blood clotting. This would explain why Lops' abdomen was full of free blood :cry:

I am going to contact a couple of of Vets in the USA and see what they think.
Loosing Lord Lopsley is something I am not going to get over........ :cry:

Awwww, try not to beat yourself up about it. God only sent him down for a short time so he could show the world how beautifull he was, then he wanted him back for himself.

So sad, I was a bit shocked today as a friend at work lost one of her bunnies over the weekend. Apparently he was a bit off colour but nothing she could put her finger on (he was eating a bit, drinking and pooing fine) then the next morning he had passed away. No autopsy for this one though, he has been buried. He was only a year or so old. :(
 
Poor Lopsley :cry: It must be so awful not knowing why he became so ill so quickly - bunnies are such fragile little creatures :(
