Unfortunately, a few days ago our pet rabbit passed away very suddenly. She was a 5 year old netherland dwarf and was drinking and eating as she normally would.
We had seen her in her cage in the morning, but by the afternoon we found her dead. The day before she had been in her run all day and had been running around as she usually would.
When we looked at her we noticed that there was a large amount of blood surrounding her but there were no cuts or wounds on her body. We assumed that she had been cut internally as there was a large amount of blood around her bottom, however we are pretty certain that there had been no sharp objects in her cage that she could have swallowed.
We were wondering if there could have been any thing else that could have caused her death or for her to be injured internally.
Someone said that she could have had a tumour but is that possible?


Any thoughts welcome.
