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.

Did they give you any ideas as to why he passed away?
I lost my Bramble 2 dyas after a dental but all connected with the sedation. I still regret putting him through it, I also regret syringe feeding him when there was obviously more going on inside his little body than I knew. I hate the fact that his last time with me was me syringing him with him struggling. BUT..... all those things were done because I felt them to be the right thing for him. They were all done with love and hope. Please tell yourself this too. You would never have intentionally hurt Pumpkin and as others have said if he had spurs there was no alternative.
Is he a lone bunny or has he still got Pippin? I hope you are all coping as best as you can. Take care xx

I am so very sorry. As others have said, it sounds like something else was going on and you did everything possible.Sleep tight Pumpkin x

They said it must have been an underlying cause. I am sending him for post-mortem at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons tomorrow, I will drive myself insane otherwise. Even if they don't find anything, it will put my mind at rest.
Pumpkin was bonded with Pippin, at the moment Pippin is coping well.

I hate myself for it, but I know she needed the dental. I know that she probably had something going on with her kidneys, but I had such a bad feeling the morning I left her at the vets. Wish I had gone with my guts. I honestly think you were in a catch 22 there. I would have had the dental done too. Please don't beat yourself up about it, it doesn't get you anywhere and makes you feel a whole lot worse. *Big hugs*Sending vibes for Pippin, I hope she is still coping well. x
