hi again all ,,
my head is working overtime, going round 24/7 about my rabbit that was put to sleep monday , i havent been right since with greif,,,
i know my bunny had teeth problems but i think my vet was wrong and i cant settle,,
as you know the vet took his front teeth out 2 years ago , and every 6 months i went to get his back teeth filed , but last week he had a lump come on side of face, he was put on antibiotics , i took him in monday to have his teeth filed, the vet phoned me to say he is concerned about the lump it looks like a tumour , and that bunny has only got 3 teeth , and is loosing a little weight , maybe through starving himself (( yet he was eating at home and drinking and cleaning himself ok))
he said his prognosis didnt look good and his pooop was only small.... He told me it wasnt an abcess as it was a hard lump.....
I asked if i should have him put to sleep and vet said , well he wont last very long if i kept him alive maybe two weeks , as it takes a starving rabbit two weeks to starve???
So i had my rabbit put to sleep , im so depressed over this , my first animal to be pts.
When i spoke to the nurse at the vet i asked her how many teeth did my rabbit have 2 years ago ,,, she said last year he had 3 teeth in back ,,, so i said , well how come he wasnt starving then ??????????????????????????
I also said how can the vet know if it is a tumour without doing investigations ?????????????????????
So im in bits here again , im thinking i put my rabbit to sleep for nothing , and its making me very ill , as i loved him so much please please if there are any vets on here or similar that knows please help my ,,,,, i feel i killed my bunny ::((((
