My Boy Charlie, I think will be going to the Bridge, He's Gone

tomorrow:(. his back end as gone and he can only move around by dragging himself with his front legs. If I try to stand him up he just collapses back down:(. He is still alert within himself and eating just cannot get around:(. I am taking him in the morning to see my vet but I very much doubt he will be coming home with me:(. He as always been my favourite boy and he loves having cuddles. When you pick him up his back legs just hang:(. It isn't anyway for him to be as he loves climbing and being into everything:(. He is 6yrs old and would have been 7 on the 18th of this month

Oh, I'm so sorry Kay. He looks like such a lovely boy. He can be at peace tomorrow though and you can take comfort that he will have never known an unhappy day since he's been with you.
 
Awww I am sorry to hear that, my older rat Freddie had hind leg degeneration towards the end but, did manage to get around quite well, I would imagine it is different for a rabbit who is used to being more independant and active, I do think it's very much quality of life not quantity. Sorry you have to make such a difficult decision but, it sounds like the right thing to do if he will suffer, hope it's gentle and peaceful like going to sleep. x
 
Thanks guys, I keep going and cuddling him, I always said to David that thjis would be the worst one:(
