Is this post effect normal after anesthesia? My Friend died :(

[laxxyy]

On Friday at 15:30 o’clock  we took our bunny 4 years and half old to vet for brushing his teeth. After wake up from anasthesia  he couldn’t stand up on his legs. He was lying on his stomach and he tried to move with his legs (actually he was swimming across the floor). It looked just like to watch a turtle running. That night he ate but not as usual. We have been with him all night long to care and prevent his moving. On saturday morning he ate but more less than day before and he started to reject his favourite food. So at 09:00 o’clock we took again our bunny to vet.

On question why he could not stand on his legs and why his moving like this, she said that need more time to recover. On question why reject the food she said bacause of pain after dental care and she gave him pain medication and she said if will not eat we must bring him on sunday morning.

We have been with our little friend all saturday and we were full of hope. We try to feed him but without success, we gave him a watter with a syringe and discussed  that we must try  to mix some food and try to feed him with a syringe. But in the late afternoon unfortunately our little sweety friend died.

I understand that he could not be able to eat. But I do not understand why he could not put on his legs and he is moved in such  way as I wrote above. Is here some one that can explain this? Because I think that the vet have done something wrong.

Once time our friend It has already been under anesthesia and his recovery was normal.

Please sorry about my English.

I’m so sorry that you had to go through this. I can’t say what happened to your dear rabbit. It sounds like he might have suffered a stroke during his anaesthesia. He may have had an adverse reaction to the anaesthetic agent. I don’t know if your vet used the wrong anaesthetic or if the dosage wasn’t right or if it was some underlying condition he had that caused this. It’s very very sad that you lost your friend this way. I’m sorry for your loss and I’m sorry I don’t have any good answer as to why this happened.

I have no idea apart from what Bam has said a reaction, but I’m very sorry to hear about your bunny, sometimes these things happen and we never know why, but I am very sorry to hear this.

I’m so sorry you lost your friend. Like the others said, it could have been a stroke or reaction to the anesthesia, although not being able to use any of his legs is odd. I can’t help but wonder if it also could have been a spinal injury during the procedure. We have a member here (Belarusianbunny) whose bunny Dima suffered an injury during a procedure.

I’m so sorry your bunny died. Your vet was not very helpful and I’m thinking was not very experienced with bunnies. So sorry you had to go through this.

I am very grateful for all your answer and your support. You helped me a lot in this hard time.
And I am pleased that there are people which understand a human sorrow at the loss.
