sadly he is not so his spinal issue was three years ago I rehabbed him but two years later he re herniated the same disk. so I did the spinal surgery to relive the pressure and he was recovery from that however he passed away one night. copy paste from the vet
Yes, the necropsy report was just finalized and the probable cause of death was severe myocardial fibrosis (scarring) in the left ventricle of the heart. This likely lead to an arrhythmia which caused death. The spinal cord had an area of focal compression at the surgical site that was consistent with healing post-operatively. The abdomen and lungs did not show significant changes. For what its worth, myocardial fibrosis is being appreciated more often in rabbits but we don’t understand the underlying cause(s) yet. There was likely nothing more you could have done for Albert given the changes in his heart.
sorry for the derail, just was offering my experience at my condo and how some people can be ‘rule pushers’ with out the question be hind the question and common sense etc… so if you are in a complex that is ‘touchy’ (air quotes on purpose) then I would recommend a filter
