I had a "pigmy" rabbit which I kept in a cage on a tabletop, and it has been an escape artist, and once out of the cage he climbs onto the top of the cage, and leaps to the concrete floor below. He broke his neck one time and I had to rush him to the vet, and he had a broken neck. The rabbit survived, and after he healed, he started doing the same thing again, jumping from the top of the cage. I eventually had to put a latch on the cage gate which slides up and down, but the rabbit figured out how to open the latch, and right in front of me leapt from the top of the cage and smashed his head right into a closed door. He then fell to the floor and landed head first on the rim of my cleaning bucket. He fell into the bucket, and then sloshed out over the edge.
After he landed he was twitching wildly for a few minutes, and then the twitching stopped. The rabbit then was still breathing so I ruched him to a vet, and the vet tried everything he could do to keep bunny alive, but he was pronounced dead a few hours after being in the vets office. I then read some interesting research notes online, and found that cell death doesn't occurr until a few hours after death. I then decided to try to reanimate the rabbit, and connected electrodes to the rabbit, and proceeded to power them up. The rabbit then jumped around wildly, and I thought he was saved, but after an hour the jumping stopped, and the rabbit was dead once more. I then put the rabbit on dry ice and drove 2 hours to a renowned zen-buddhist oriental healer to have the rabbit brought back to life. That failed, and I now have the rabbit pickled in rubbing alcohol, and in a glass jar in a niche where a flower pot would normally be.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Any ideas of what happened to the rabbit, and how I could restore him?
I cant believe you did that after he passed, just let him go, you where dragging out his death for HOURS, you might say you loved him, but if you really did then you wouldn't have put him through that, stupid person
Rabbits are not cats and do not have 9 lives ..... he broke his neck again ... So sorry
Honey , your rabbit is dead. I know it's hard to accept, but letting him move on is the best thing to do. Even if "cell death" happens a few hours postmortem, the brain does not survive long without oxygen. The brain is what powers the body, and tells everything in it what to do. When the brain dies, there is no way to bring the being back to life, even if not all of the cells are "dead".
I'm sorry.
