Our Paddy has gone

Lobo

Mama Doe
Our beautiful adopted bunny Paddy crossed to the bridge this afternoon (Sunday). He had only been with us for a little over seven months after his family moved out and left him behind.

He was not himself last night and did not rush for his pellets but slowly ate some of his greens. We put a Snuggle Safe and blankets in his crate as he seemed cold and I stayed with him until 2am hand feeding his veg. I got up at 7am and found he had eaten very little more and there was blood in his poo. His gums were so anaemic they were almost white so we called the vet to have him seen at 10:45am. He did an ultrasound and found a lot of fluid in the caecum area which he thought may well be blood. Paddy's temperature was also down to 35.4°C.

We contacted the specialist bunny referral centre who told us to bring him in as an emergency. It is a 2 hour trip and unfortunately Paddy went into a coma on the way and passed away shortly before we arrived.

His always happy personality will be greatly missed.

The loss is made harder by the fact that yesterday was the first anniversary of Liam, our other boy going to the bridge.
