Yesterday my lovely little bunny was put to sleep. We bought her two years ago from Pets At Home. She was 8wks. We paid £100 (rather than £30) as we were told she was already neutered at 4wks!!!
Fast forward to the other day, she hadn't eaten or pooped for a day so we rushed her to the vet (lost my last bun to gastrostasis ?spelling?)
She stayed in over night while they gave her something to clear the gas but no use. In the morning they xrayed and suspected a tumour in her womb.
So, they decided to operate. They found 2 very large cysts on her ovaries.
The vet had never seen anything like this and has sent her tissues off for post mortem. He thinks its a result of poor surgery when she was a baby.
Despite being utterly heartbroken that my baby has gone I'm confused firstly as to why the vet couldnt remove the cysts and the ovaries.
I'm also angry at Pets At Home for selling these little bunnies who have already been neutered at 4 weeks old and resulting in this.
Has anyone heard of a similar incident?
