My doe lost her companion, now she's losing weight!

[Thatonefishlady]

I got a buck (Sober) at 8wks old from someone, and after he was about 13wks, I noticed he was not growing, and he was not putting on weight. 2 wks later, Sober ended up having seizures and passing away shortly after I figured out what was happening. He was right next to my doe (Tipsy) but they were separated by fencing. After his passing, I removed the fencing. About 2 days after that, Tipsy went into his side and refused to move for a few days. She seemed ok afterwards, but I noticed she didn't have alot of weight on her anymore. 3 days ago, she got out of her hutch and hid under my shed where I couldn't get to her. She stayed there until today when I finally got her back into the hutch. I'm seeing her weight drop significantly since Sober's passing, and I'm extremely concerned about her.

What can I do to help her?

I'm sure there are rabbit forum sites that may be more helpful. Might be worth researching.

Do you have a local vet that sees rabbits? I've been to a few.

You don't think this could be the same thing the buck had, do you?

I hope not!
We have the Humane Society. They close at 4pm and they're not open friday-sunday. I asked them if they did rabbit checks, and they said they could but they usually don't. The closest vet that sees them is about an hour away.

Yeah, depending on where you live, it can be hard to find anyone. If you can get in to the human society, that's probably your best best price wise.

If you know of a country vet, they usually see rabbits and may not charge as much. However, when I had rabbits and lived in a big city, I had to go to an 'exotic vet', and it was really expensive.
