I havent lost any yet but Im just wondering ..
The buns that go to the bridge young (e.g 4 months, 6 months) were they ill or did they just pass away unexplained - my buns is 3 months and i dont know if i could handle him going so young
Of mine
Flash 9 months- Had an incident with a cat, and my useless vet was not useful, and my lack of knowledge meant I didn't know any better. Died at vets with me there.
Oz 2 years- Died on the table during an emergency spay (also with the useless vet).
Tubby 12 (just)
Boof 3 years- Died of some sort of organ failure (seen by the useless vet that day and they said she would be fine). Died at home. Died at home in my mum's arms.
Sunshine 8 years- Down to useless vet again, dental stuff. PTS on the operating table.
Sweep 9 years
In all those that I have added explanations to I blame myself more than the vet because I should have known better, and in all cases there were other circumstances that, due to my ignorance, also added to the situation, but did not directly kill the rabbit. I still completely blame myself though. Had I known more every single one of those would have done better than they did, and all bar one would probably have survived those incidents (I don't think Boof would have).
Since learning more and getting a decent vet I have lost two buns. Both to cancer. (Those were Sweep and Summer).

Our youngest loss, Maverick, was a litter runt. 6 months seems to be a very common age for runts to pass on....he died suddenly in his sleep (I found him in the morning) but our vets suspect he died from a congenital defect, probably his heart.
