hi everyone. my rabbit died today after suddenly becoming ill. i didnt close his latch properly and when i got home he was in his hutch with his eyes half shut. i brought him in and he had mud or poo all over his tail and legs matted. he couldnt push up on his back legs and was not bothered id picked him up even though normally he wouldnt allow it.
i rung a vet who said keep him comfy and warm but he wont pull through. his heart rate dropped. i put him in a box with towels and sheets next to my brd and watched him akl night. he eventually laid on his side and every now and then hed wiggle around. his breathing continued but his heart was barely beating.
the next morning i tried to wet his mouth and he didnt respond. he two hours later almost meowed like a cat before his front legs were twitching like he was trying to run. all his muscles relaxed and his last breathe came out and he was gone.
my happy sociable rabbit gone in hours. im heart broken. he always seemed so strong. any ideas what could of happened?
