I' am sorry to hear this, but it happens alot what she had is a Fear Seizure. It almost all ways ends in death. Rabbits are prey animals and loud noises, sudden movements, Dog's or Cat's, and young children are usualy the cause.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals that had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together......."

It's not a seizure. It's most likely a broken spinal column.

When rabbits get scared they run around their pen and normally run into the side of the cage and break their spinal column. This basically paralyzes them so that they can't move from the neck down or waist down depending on where the injury occured.

When this happens, there is nothing that you can do and your rabbit will most likely die with a couple hours or 1-2 days.

The best thing to do is to have it put to sleep.

To prevent this from happening to new rabbits you might get, keep a radio playing out around your rabbit. It gets them used to noise so where they don't get scared and run around the cage as easily. By helping to prevent the running around the cage you help prevent the spinal chord injury.

Tons of people mistake a spinal chord injury for a seizure. Rabbits don't really have seizures. The spinal chord injury when seen after it has already happened just appears like a seizure might look.

i'm the owner of Heidi. regrettably, I took her to the vet day after at present and it known like E-Condii parasite. She had to be euthenized. It became into extremely annoying on me yet she's in a greater useful place and lived an excellent existence!

When she had a seizure did she jump up into the air and flick her feet and head? Email me with the answer or just post it here.

EDIT: Is she ok? What happened? You can email me if you need to.
