Bea has been admitted to the vets U/D 09/12/14 Sad news

Thank you everyone. I really wasn't expecting this :(. She seemed perky enough in herself when I left her yesterday morning (she was off her food and teeth grinding but still alert) and was at the vet first thing. They said she had recovered well from the anaesthetic and was taking her syringe feed well. I was expecting to pick her up this afternoon and it didn't even cross my mind that she'd die, which is odd as I'm normally not very positive.

The vet who called me to inform me said I'd have to pay for a post mortem but the vet who did her dental called me later and said he would do one for free and I'd only pay if samples are sent to the lab. He was very nice and surprised that they'd lost her. Part of me hopes there is an obvious underlying condition because it's horrible not knowing, thinking she had dental issues that could be sorted out quite routinely to this :cry:. Two out of 3 rabbits lost in 18 months :cry:.

I honestly don't know how people can do the "it's only a rabbit" thing because it breaks my heart every time.

It may be that she had some renal damage and the GA pushed her over the edge. I hope you do get some answers as not knowing 'why' can make a loss so much harder to come to terms with. Had I not have found out why Sir Victor died so completely unexpectedly I think I would have gone completely mad.
