Hi,
I’m new to this forum but just looking for advice on this...
My 9/10 month old harlequin lop passed away very suddenly Wednesday night. I had finished my night shift at 11:30 so went to see the two bunnies in their converted playhouse and he seemed tired but nothing out of the ordinary. I gave him a check over, checked his stomach and his bum and all good so just assumed he was sleepy as he kicked off at me and ran to the bedroom.
I then woke up to feed the buns at 9am to find Flint passed away in the playhouse. I was shocked. I knew he was sleepy but how can anything be so sudden like that? I was watching out as their greens had been going not as quick as usual but they were still eating breakfast and dinner and hay so I didn’t think it was anything to worry about.
I’m devastated that he’s left our 1yr 9 month old harlequin girl on her own and we are booked in for speed dating at the rescue in a few days. She’s had a health check and is all good just a sad bun.
Long post I’m sorry, but overall the question is how can a healthy bunny just pass so quickly like that! I was so sad to see it and I would like to avoid it in the future if possible?
Thankyou
Edit- they were both fully vaccinated and neutered. They had also had health checks 2/3 months ago. I could have a biopsy on him but for how expensive that is, I would rather donate to the rescue and also give another bunny a good home
