I'm so sorry to hear about the difficult situation with your rabbit. It must have been quite distressing to receive such unexpected news. Let's talk through this so you can have a bit more clarity.
When a rabbit's health changes rapidly, it can be due to several causes, such as infection, organ failure, or a severe injury. Rabbits often hide signs of illness, so their condition can worsen before symptoms become visible. It's possible your rabbit's situation suddenly deteriorated after the initial assessment, leading the vet to recommend euthanasia to prevent further suffering.
At home, keeping a close eye on your rabbit's eating, drinking, and behavior is crucial since they're sensitive creatures. Signs like loss of appetite, lethargy, difficulty breathing, or not producing droppings can indicate serious issues.
In these moments, it's important to seek a second opinion if something feels off or if you need more closure. Sometimes, connecting with another vet through a video consult can provide valuable insights and peace of mind.
Please don't hesitate to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet if you need to discuss this further or have any other questions about your rabbit's health. We're here to support you through this tough time.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
