Hi everyone, I'm new here and was directed here by a lovely lady on another forum as she thought some may be able to help me.
I have 2 10 week old rabbits, both female and one has a prolapsed rectum. I took her to the vet on Friday and he diagnosed her with this as well as giving her a small operation to put a stich there to keep it in. The stitch was removed on Sunday but she prolapsed again yesterday (tuesday). I called the vet for advice as it had happened again so soon (he did advise that it could happen again) and he's now told me that she needs to be put to sleep.
I find this so hard to beleive as she is still very much her usual self and is eating, drinking and pooping ok and doesn't appear to be in any pain (tho she does keep licking the area alot)
I have called a another vet who deals with small animals and I'm hoping to see him on Friday but in the meantime I need to find out as much as I can about this as I really don't wanna lose her and my 12 yr old daughter would be heartbroken if we did.
Can anyone help?
