Question

I came home to my 9 month old rabbit dead. She sneezed alot last week? What do you think happened? ?

Answer 1

She probably had pneumonia.. You probably couldn't have done much for her, as rabbits pretty much give up when they get sick.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Answer 2

i think maybe she was sick or maybe her nose was clogged up

Answer 3

she may have had a sinus infection, a cold. from being in a draft or chilliness.  

Answer 4

Answer 5

i have a bunch of rabbits it probly had wat they call sniffles which is an respiratory thing and they get sick and usuasly u cant save them

Answer 6

I think it was the sniffles. Anyways rabbits don't have much of a chance anyways or bunnies,I used to own one and it died in a week.

P.S sorry for your rabbit :[

Answer 7

She probably had an upper resp. infection.  Sadly, a vet visit may have saved her.

Answer 8

You didn't take her to a good vet for treatment. She was sick.  

Answer 9

Rabbits are obligate nasal breathers--that is, they do their breathing through their noses. If her nose got clogged because of an illness such as an upper respiratory infection (which, if not diagnosed and properly treated with antibiotics by competent vet, can kill your rabbit,)she wouldn't have been able to breathe well, and it may have taxed her heart too much. Rabbits can go downhill fast when their perceived illnesses are not checked out and treated by a vet immediately. =(  I hope she did not suffer too long.

Answer 10

It was probably an upper respiratory problem.  It could have been a cold or the bedding.  Certain types of bedding shouldn't be used in rabbit cages.  Or maybe the sneezing didn't kill her.  Many rabbits die from the heat.  Was your bunny inside a climate controlled house or outside?  In my part of the country I have to have a misting system and good shade during the summer.

Answer 11

What happened was you did not get her to a vet last week!  Rabbits are delicate health-wise and need to see a vet immediately when you first notice they are sick, otherwise it is often too late to save them.  Treated early, upper respiratory illnesses are very treatable.  Leave them go to develop into pneumonia, and very few survive.  Please don't get another one unless you are prepared to provide proper care INCLUDING vet treatment when they are ill.  I have presently a 13 year old and have only had one pass away under 10 years old (he had cancer).  With proper care, they live long lives.  

Answer 12
