Rabbit Web Discussion Board

my rabbit died last night and i am feeling so sad and responsible for it. i had bought him a weejk ago but it started having diarrohea problem and it is dead in few days. no vets were avilable as their offices were closed . i had purchased a book on rabit diet but that too didnt come much of help.
the book had mentioned that one of the reason could be due to change indiet. i was not awre what the guy ate the pet store was feeding them on? i tried giving differnt diets and foud that pellets were worsening the problems. so i stopped giving them to my bunny but none of my efforts were yielding any fruits. my rabbiot died today morning ia ma feeling awful.

Dear Cathy,

I\'m sorry to hear about your loss. I too lost one of my sweetharts recently. I share your grief.

From what you described your little one most likely died from dehydration a condition of a gastrointestinal upset. That is why he or she had diarrhea.

Reading articles from the House Rabbit Sociey and other websites are very helpful. You can obtain alot of useful information to better understand rabbit behavior, diet, and illnesses.
