It was once thought that most pet rabbits carried it but showed no symptoms. But some studies show the contrary. Since she was dumped, found by animal control, rescued, and then lived in a shelter for 9-10 months, she could have been exposed at any time and it could have been percolating away until stress or another infection caused it to flare up.
So basically, we dose her with antibiotics and see what happens.
