Alternate theory (that would be unlikely to ever happen):
The glukkons strike a deal with the gabbits.
Glukkons: "giv us wan pare of teh lungz + we stop teh hunting fer teh gabbitz!!!11/!!~"
Gabbits: "hmm we dono we am scarde to do taht but if joo will rly stp tehn ok we give joo only wan pare!!!!

Hah!

Do they really sound like that to you?
Anyway, I agree with you (not on this trade/deal thing).
I think that Maggie will survive for a much longer period of time and will, just before she starts to die, get her hands on a pair of some Gabbit Lungs.
