Ahh, I remember Lara. She was the first bunny I fell for on this forum! It was something about her being the Cadbury Bunny - the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. I always thought she was more yellowy though for some reason. I'm sorry you lost them both

She is my brave wee girl. I typed was...but she still is. Just not where I can see her any more. I hope your Lily has a long while with us Yvette.
The blue lips and tounge were also something we got when Oidhche was having a bad day. The breathing problems were as a result of the heart giving up and causing back-up pressure on the lungs, which did something with regards to laying extra fluid there...I'll find it for you tomorrow as right now I'm too stupid to think about it. So if fluid on the lungs is what was causing the problems in her case, then perhaps it's something similar in Lily's, just not from the same cause. Does that make sense?
I don't know if it will help if it is a different root cause but Oidhche's thread is
here if you want to have a read through. Once she was on meds we saw a massive difference (although they did take a while to kick in) and we had two heart meds and a diuretic which removes the fluid slowing down the breathing. The best advice I can give you (other than to see your vet) is to spoil her absolutely rotten and don't think about tomorrow. I was so worried about getting it wrong but they do let you know when they've had enough. Until then, keep throwing everything you have at it.
Someone said to me that
'mourning them before they die is a waste of emotion'. So very, very true. There are a lot of things which members have said to me which just ring right. You'll know what's best for your girl.
