    It's impossible to say without some sort of post mortuem. Rabbits do get scared quite easily, so a heart attack caused by fear could have been the case, though no-one can speculate. If it helps, exactly the same thing happened to me when I worked in a pet shop- I carried a rabbit off from the shop floor to the back room, because he just didn't look right, and he had a fit, peed on me, and died- there was no apparent real cause apart from that fear factor again.

    Hi, I am very sorry to hear about this.

    Rabbits can die quickly if they are hit in the right place of their body. A few years ago at college, someone dropped a rabbit and didn't tell the tutor. Not long after the poor animal died due to internal injuries from being dropped. This is probably what happened to your rabbit.

    I am sorry to hear about your loss.

    Did your daughter drop the rabbit when he peed on her? A broken back or neck can kill a rabbit instantly. Did your daughter squeeze the rabbit in response to being peed on? How was the rabbit yesterday? Had he been eating and pooping (for lack of a better word) normally? GI Stasis is a quick killer of younger rabbits. Please read the House Rabbit Society web page for more information of GI Stasis, proper feeding and diagnosing health problems.
