Hi guys, Henry randomly went down hill yesterday, took him to the vets this morning and came home with cisparide, as the day went on he got worse and had now ended up struggling to breathe [emoji3525] he also has white snot coming out of his nose which is so weird to me because I’ve never heard him sneeze so I don’t think it’s snuffles!

Has anyone experienced anything like this? I’m so worried [emoji22][emoji174]

He’s currently at the vets.

Poor Henry :( Is he staying at the vets? It sounds to me as though he has some sort of respiratory infection. I hope that the vet can get him onto some antibiotics. Sending him lots of vibes.
 
I agree with Omi, it sounds as though Henry is displaying symptoms of a severe acute RTI/pneumonia. Or possibly he had a choking episode. I do hope that he has made it through the night and that you will receive some better news from the Vet today x
 
Hello,

Sadly Henry died overnight :( I’m absolutely devastated and in shock. The vet thinks it was to do with his heart but with my own research I suspect pneumonia too, poor baby, I feel so guilty.

Thank you for replying to me x

Sleep tight Henry xx

Thank you everyone.

He has left behind Daisy his little wife, I have another pair who are M\F, should I attempt to bond her with them? They all know each other as their enclosures are next to each other’s.

I am so sorry Henry passed away. Regarding trying to bond Daisy with your other 2 I would wait a week to give Daisy time to adjust then it really depends on the personalities of the rabbits but you might find it difficult as the other female might not want to share her space. Any bonding will have to be done in a neutral area to all the rabbits. Good luck with this.
 
I'm really sorry. Sweet dreams Henry.
A trio bond could well work but I'd give you & everybun a little time before deciding xx
 
So sorry to hear that you have lost Henry x I agree, I would let things settle first before attempting a bond. Sweet dreams Henry xxx
 
sorry for your loss of little Henry, I've never tried to bond a trio but I know others on here have had successful attempts.
 
Thank you everyone, Daisy can be hard bunny to bond as she gets quite angry, but when she settles she’s usually ok, she’s been like this with her other mate before Henry too. But once she accepts them she loves them!

I’ll leave her for next week then I’ll start it the week after, I’ll take them all to my boyfriends house and do it slowly over a week.

If it really doesn’t work I will adopt a new mate for her, but I really hope it does work!

Personally I'd leave any bonding attempts until the Covid 19 related disruption to Veterinary services is eased. Also, as things currently stand we are not supposed to be visiting other households x

How comes you would wait? Just curious.
Oh no sorry I wasn’t clear, I’m living with him at the moment but the bunnies are all in my parents garden x

I am so sorry you lost Henry. You did your best so no reason for guilt. Bunnies can change quickly. So many different illnesses can have similar symptoms too.
