Pippa's Gone :(

Pippa, my 7 year old bunny died in the early hours of this morning :cry::cry:

We found her spread out in the litter tray with Bobby lying on top of her. It looks like she may well have been in liver failure after all. I got the feeling she wasn't right last night (well 1am) when she had her porridge, she less than usual and felt slightly floppy when I picked her up, like she was tired.

There was nothing I could put my finger on though, still toileting, not bloated, ate some Gingko leaves & hay, so I didnt waste any thought on it.

I doubt there was anything I could have done.

Bobby is absolutely distraught, he started looking for her the second I took her out of the cage and he is now lying on my lap, totally out of character as he hates to be handled. I have never seen rabbits bonded as closely as those two and I have no idea what Im going to do with him. He is not easy to bond. :(
 
So sorry - I was worried the same about MJ and him and my Pippa were very close and he'd had failed bondings before but I found him Opal and he's happy again, so hopefully Bobby will be the same. Maybe once they've had a close bond it's easier to bond again? Don't know, but we've not had a problem when I thought we would.

RIP Pippa xx
