The physical cause wasn't there when the doe past as I looked him over several times. Came few days after :( It did drain but maybe due to his sadness and age it never healed and only got worse so had to put him down as well...two rabbits in a week, not kool. We are now left with his new...

Got him a new girlfriend (two in fact), seemed to be helping him :D Then the other doe decided to get jealous and chase and fight one of the new does. All that running around she landed on my buck (Thunder) and she out weight him a lot. He seemed ok and was getting better. BUT Now we see a lump...

Oh for sure, I had doves and one of my males stopped eating and drinking when I separated him from his mate, even tho their cages were next to each other! The female could care less, but he was about to die. I couldn't see him waste away so I put her back in with him and he drank and ate a ton...

Poo is normal, he was great until the day we had to put his mate down. Am sure he is depressed but don't know what to do for him.

Was from giving birth complications (prolapse), we decided to put her down. Other doe is doing great. Our buck didn't bond as much with the doe we have left, seemed more so with one that passed.

Yes housed in same cage with them. He is not hopping around and to us as he usually does, just sits in one place, doesn't appear to be eating much.

My buck is housed with two does. We lost one doe and that night my buck became depressed and still is days later. What can I do? He is wasting away :cry:

I ended up putting her down. The day I did, the buck acted depressed and is still acting that way. Has anyone else seen a rabbit grieve? He was his happy self even when she was ill, but as soon as I took her away he got depressed :cry: He's not alone so is not like he doesn't have other ladies...

I had never dispatched a rabbit before until now. I just used the broomstick method for a very sick rabbit of mine. :cry: I think the first pull wasn't very effective but second one I could feel the neck separate. I doubled checked her neck once done and could feel the separation. Thankfully...

Does anyone know how to euthanize her at home?

Actually I was thinking the same thing. She must be in pain but doesn't show it, hops around, eating/drinking. I would have never noticed if I didn't pick her up.

This is what I get for allow someone else to watch after my rabbits for a few weeks. During this time my doe had babies (a few days ago) and today I just noticed what look like her uterus prolapsed? :o :cry: It's not bleeding, until I attempted to use lube and push it back in place. So she...
