i lost my lovely rabbit

this morning i had to make the horrible decision to have my lovely rabbit Ben put to sleep. he has been ill for a while with lots of unusual complicated problems and i have had alot of support and advice from people on this forum. recently he stopped eating and yesterday he took a turn for the worse and after lots of tests at the vets it was found he had very abnormal liver function and an abdominal mass in addition to all of the problems we already knew about. i think i know it was the right decision but i still feel terrible. i am also already worrying about how my other rabbit will cope without him as i have had a bereaved rabbit in the past and know how they miss their bunny friend.
 
I'm really sorry that your lost your bunny friend. However, you showed him the ultimate act of love and care by letting him go when it was best for him, and he's lucky in that respect.

Did his bonded friend get to see and spend time with his body?
