I recently lost my gorgeous little bunny, she was a happy, seemingly healthy indoor bunny, she got free run of my room (and became the boss!) one day, with no signs of any problems she had what i can only describe as a seizure, it was asif she was being thrown around her cage, hitting the sides and even the top then she flopped onto her side and started shaking, once we picked her up she calmed down, but she needed atleast 2 hours of cuddle befpre she perked up, unfortuantly she stopped eating and sleeping after this and the next night she had another, this time she really wasnt herself afterwards, she became very affectionate and hopping onto my knee to sleep (where as before she wasn't interested in cuddles!) i sat up nearly the whole night with her and the poor little girl really didn't want to go back into her cage :'( anyway we took her to the vets the next day and they gave me something to help feed her and something for parasites (as they didnt know what could have caused the fits) all friday night she was very weak and in need of constant affection and hourly feeding but i felt hopefull because she didn't have a fit that night, the next morning she hopped out of her cage seeming much perkier, i tried to feed her but she hopped away, i let her thinking she might want too have a little hop about first. However she suddenly took off around the room fitting again making horrible squeeking noises, i was distraught, paniking and crying, my boyfriend told me to leave my room but before i left i saw her on her side, she had started to stiffen and i could see the life draining from her gorgeous eyes. She was gone :'(
I feel like there should have been more i could have done, like it might have been my fault, she was given to the pet shop, alone, by a breeder who breeds for show, other breeders i have spoken to believe that breeder may have known something was wrong with her otherwise he wouldn't have given her away. Has anyone experienced any of this before?
My mam got her for me as an early christmas present and feels guilty and wants me to get another one but i can't ever replace Dixie and i'm too afraid of loving another pet so much and having her taken away from me in just over a month
