I’m sorry to hear you lost Adi. Please know that you didn’t do anything wrong, and that you did everything you could do. I absolutely agree with Bam. Most bunnies become infected with EC when they are young. They can be asymptomatic all their lives. And then, when old age weakens their immune system, EC will rear its ugly head. EC is difficult to treat in older bunnies. You can give them the appropriate medicine, but they may not recover simply because their immune system is declining. So I don’t think sooner treatment would have necessarily changed the outcome.

I was in the room when they put one of my bunnies to sleep. However, what is allowed varies by country/location.
