In any event, there was probably not much that could have been done for the little guy. Rabbits are prey animals, and by design, they often tend to mask their symptoms until the condition is quite advanced.

I'm sorry that your daughter had to go through that. Let me know if there's anything else that I can answer for you or if there is something that I can do to make the situaution easier for daughter. :(

Sorry if this is old information...I admit that I did not thoroughly read all 4 pages of the thread

Outed as a veterinarian..
