Yes they’ve done some blood tests to check her organ function and for e cuniculi. It sounds like a lot of different issues could be the cause. If nothing shows up there, the next step is an ultrasound to check her heart in more detail. We’re just desperately hoping they won’t find anything and the reaction was just caused by stress.

Okay, thank you for replying back to me!!

Okay, I will look into that and thank you!!!

You could get Revolution (selamectin) as a “just in case”. It won’t hurt him to apply it, so no harm done if it isn’t fleas or mites.

PSA: Never use anything with fipronil on rabbits. It’s toxic to them.

That’ wonderful! Thank you for the update! It sounds like she is on the mend now.

I agree. It could be syphilis. If that’s the case, it needs to be treated. It won’t go away on it’s own.

Yeah, I would say no different than a piece of corn puff cereal.

Just a little update. Wednesday, 6/20/24 we drove down to Phoenix and adopted Mallow & Sage from the Arizona Humane Society. They are bonded, 4 year old male/female and are very sweet bunnies. We hope to bond them with Kira. Will keep you all posted. Sorry, I tried to post pictures but was not allowed for some reason.

Thanks,

Jeff

On the mend!

She weighs 1.13kg (she was 0.86) 🥰

Been advised to give pellets for protein to help build her back up and monitor her weight but her behaviour is normal and she’s functioning normally and we have even had a couple of flops. It’s nice to see her laying down properly and actually chilling out, she deserves it

Thank you again…

You seem to have a good vet. I’m sorry this happened, I don’t think it’s fully understood why some individuals react badly to anaesthetics. Some do though,  humans included.

I hope they’ll be able to get her to eat soon. I think it was wise of you to let them keep her there, although I do so understand the instinctive wish to bring her home…[Read more]

A healthy rabbit poo would crumble very easily, especially with moisture so I do not think it is a particularly higher choking hazard than a stale cheerio or corn puff cereal piece.

Agreed syphilis is a possibility. Regardless of cause, the corners of the mouth being dirty becomes a very easy breeding ground for fungal infections, so having a vet appointment to assess this is best.
