Oh god, this hurts.
Yesterday morning, I went to let Blackeye out of his hutch/run so he could have his usual run around. He didn't come out of the hutch, which although unusual is not unheard of. I just left him to it.
Then about 20 minutes later, whilst washing up, I saw him
He had come out of the hutch, into the run and seemed to be drunk. He couldn't hop properly and kept falling over.
I rushed out to him and picked him up. He felt all limp and quite cold.
I took him inside and held him in my arms, like a baby (his favourite way of being held). I knew this was goodbye, but still don't know why it has happened.
OH called the emergency vets, because he was obviously suffering and I wanted to end his pain and confusion.
But whilst OH was outside defrosting the car, Blackeye started to have fits, his eyes wide open and so scared. This went on for about 30 seconds.
Then oh god he started to scream
I have never heard a more terrible sound in my life and will never forget it.
He screamed with every outward breath, until they faded and got quieter. He was still breathing at this point. Just.
I thought he had gone, but we went to the vets anyway - by the time we got there (5 mins drive), he was definitely gone.
My wonderful vet didn't charge me for the call out, just for his cremation.
I am now sat at work feeling empty and hollow, slightly sick and absolutely devastated that my beautiful boy has gone. He was the most amazing rabbit - we never knew how old he was so we used to laugh and say that he was "the ageless bun".
I just can't believe that he will never sit in my cat's basket again, he will never nick bird seed out the tub again, he will never lay on the floor beside me again
Thanks for listening
Yours heartbrokenly
