These awesome rabbits are the gentle giants of the bunny world, growing up to between 12 and 15 pounds (though
particularly large rabbits can get even bigger, with a maximum weight about 20 pounds), making them and Continental rabbits the largest breeds.
An embolism (blood clot), although fortunately rare, can occur anytime,
particularly if the surgery involves manipulation of a
large blood vessel, bone tissue or if the
rabbit had a serious bacterial or fungal infection prior to the procedure.
