Hi all I'm new here and would like any advice if possible we bought two girl bunnies, 8 week old mini lops a week past Monday and sadly on the Wednesday one died, I contacted the breeder who was sorry and offered us another one who was a boy,in the meantime I took the one girl left with us,too the vets too be checked over with the other passing away she seemed OK but under weight I was told too keep an eye on her see how she went.
She seemed OK eating drinking,in the pen etc and on Friday will collected the boy,who was the same age but bigger than her and twice the weight,we noticed on Monday morning that the girl seemed very different,they cuddled into each other a lot.
We decided too take them for there first vaccinations but when we saw a vet she wouldn't give it too the girl as she was still under weight,she did a few checks and said she needed an antibiotic and food recovery,we gave her the first dose but then as we went too give her the second she died in my husbands arms,so sad this was.we had lost two within a week,anyway the next day we changed the hutches hay water etc just incase,and he seemed very different,he hadn't pooed all night and not touched his food,so another trip too the vets for them too say he is bloated and was put on a drip,medication also,we've had three rabbits two we lost and one who's poorly,in the space of just over a week.i contacted the breeder who wasn't interested really no refund offered etc which is fine I just wanted happy bunnies and wanting too make sure no one else is going through this heartache,we have spent a lot if money also.
Can you advise me if I just leave this alone or shall I seek more help on the matter,they apparently came from different mums too,this has been an awful week for us,let's hope the boy makes a recovery.
