Giant rabbit died of fit
Hi Everyone
I lost my giant continential rabbit last week I am so upset he was only 1 and a half years old he was my baby with so much personality, he lived indoors with us so he is greatly missed by us and the dog  We were away on holiday and the lady who looked after him is the breeder who I bought him off of, she only had him for a couple of days then she said he was poorly so she took him to the vet and he had a fit while she was there with him at the vets and he died. Can anyone tell me is this common in rabbits or is it because he is a giant rabbit, does anyone know the cause. I would appreciate the feedback, I would like another rabbit but for one I can never replace him, and also I am scared if I got another giant it will happen again or was I just very unlucky

Re: Giant rabbit died of fit
So sorry about your precious bunny. I had a house rabbit who died from a seizure about 8 years ago. She seemed perfectly healthy one day, and the next she was very lethargic. We took her to an emergency Veterinary clinic where she had a seizure as soon as the doc took her out of the carrier. She died about 15 minutes later, and the doctor said there was nothing we could have done because it happened so fast and there were no signs of illness. She was 3 years old.

Re: Giant rabbit died of fit
Thank you for all your feedback!
The lady says that he was completely fine having fun then suddenly got lethargic and dashed him to the vet (happened very quickly) He was upto date with all jabs yes.

Re: Giant rabbit died of fit
So sorry for your loss.
I lost Hope the beggining of this year because of a fit. He was poorly when I got home from work(was fine in the morn) and he had GI stasis, I took him to the vets and got him the same treatment that worked the time before, all very hopefull. Brought him home and left him in the carrier while I was setting up the indoor cage, heard him thumping and he was having a fit, he died in my arms 30seconds later But I have had alot of rabbits and he is the only one I have had fit, so its not all that common. He also wasnt a giant. RIP little bun. Run free at rainbow bridge. *Heidi*

Re: Giant rabbit died of fit
sorry for your loss, it seems they still know so little about rabbits, that any kind of fits are very hard to diagnose, have you tried the rabbit rehome forum? they might be able to help.
