Young Bun
I've posted elsewhere about my bun Lemmy being ill and questions related to health and medication and stuff. He's been showing symptoms for around a month now, since the first day we brought him home, and although he hasn't gotten worse (and he's not too fussed about the runny nose himself!) he hasn't gotten any better either and I'm really starting to panic that he's suddenly going to take a turn for the worse and we'll lose him. I've lost pets before, but always at a good age after many happy years together. Lemmy's such a charming little creature, I've spent a lot of time with him, probably more so because he's been ill. He's very fond of people, he runs over to get a head rub whenever I go into the yard, and we have a 'friendly competition' going with my lavender plant, whereby I put the pot in ever higher and inaccessable places, and he finds increasingly inventive ways to attack it, usually followed by him dancing around the garden with it in his mouth as if to say "screw you and your rules!". I find I'm really struggling to cope with the worry over his illness though. I just desperately want him to be better, even if his condition is recurring I would like some worry free time when he is symptom free. I know that sickness and death are inevitable and I just need to accept that what is is, and what will be will be. I know it's childish but I get so upset at the idea that he might get taken away from us when we've only just had time to get attached to him.
