Science Selective Rabbit FoodRabbit Lossing weight - Need help, update on her?

Hello, I asked some time ago, my 1 year old rabbit to lose weight. I took him to the vet today to many occasions, it is still losing weight, the vet check his back teeth, they were fine, I was before I had already checked it been wormed with Panacur, took a poo sample, which was nice, had a blood test, once again all is well. But still losing weight, I did not put on a higher fiber diet, science selective it was food recovery, but still no joy.
Now, my vet thinks operating on her, but she did not not what she seeks. So I am not happy with this option that rabbits do not like anasetic (cannot spell sorry) Does anyone has any other ideas, she has fresh vegetables, mineral blocks, bread / toast, carrot, apple, broccoi, cauliflower, points (not all at the same time)
Any help would be appreciated, as I really do not know what to do next.

Wow, certainly looks like shes been through the works.
I can not think of anything that would weigh the animal in bulk other than diabetes and worms, but it seems that shes already been tested for that (my dog had diabetes from 47 kg-23 kg- in a few weeks)
Is she really eat? If she does not eat that might indicate she has something wrong with his bowels. Again from personal experience I had a Guinea pig who developed a uterine infection and should be desexed, and then developed peritonitis. The surgery ended up killing her, but she would have died anyway.
If she eats and drinks normally, and you have removed all other options theres not much you can do as far as I know.
Surgery is definitely a big risk in a small animal that is sick, but if there is something wrong with its interior that cause these problems, there can be no other way of knowing.
His horrible outlet 22, isn't it?
Whatever you choose, remember that you made in your best intrests rabbits. luck.

Maybe you should try to give just pellets and timothy. I know that apples and cauliflower give my rabbit tracks and then she will not eat too much after an episode of diarrhea. With pellets they really do not need much vegies. Here is my diet Bunny Pellet fresh mix from Wal-Mart is left out all day, she usually eats about a cup per day. I put a handful of timothy hay every night (it is more active at night) and it is usually gone in the morning. I give him fresh fruit or vegetables once a week and she receives only a half-fish, or a few raw green beans, or bananas. She ate two yogurts treats once a day. And that's all. She is very healthy and happy with his diet. Now, I do not drag him a few treats from time to time, examples: a couple of snacks: chips, tortillas, bread, cakes, cookies, ice cream, yogurt (but never more than a couple appetizers) . Hope this helps!

Has she had an X-ray and ultrasound may be looking for tumors? I had a few rabbits mysteriously losing weight if they were eating. In all cases, they had a tumor in some areas of their body that was originally. Before the veterinarian slices opening, I X-ray and ultrasound done to look for masses, often you can see them without actually operating.

Add: The diet seems pretty good, I want to feed more of "leafy vegetables and something less, such as carrots, apples, cabbage, cauliflower and well. Rabbits require a variety of vegetables per day. http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/diet. ...

A diet should include a rabbit egg full amount of pellets, the bulk of the diet should be fruits and vegetables (not the reverse). You must measure the amount she eats a good thing to offer a rabbit does not eat baby food, high Calo.
