lost Rosie yesterday (one of the 35 leeds buns)

i am absolutely devastated

both Angus and Rosie seemed to be doing really well. we always were slightly worried over Rosie having a snotty nose and she was very snuffly. Mick at the rescue had decided to take her to see his specialist in Harrogate as regular vet visits hadn't helped.

both buns were fine yesterday morning, i left them with the run up to the hutch and munching dandelion leaves. at 4.30 my OH called to say Rosie seemed to have collapsed and was twitching.
i raced home from work to find her flat out and unresponsive and knew it wasn't good. i rushed her to the vet who said she was very cold and her heart beat was very faint. they tried to warm her up and gave her steroids but she was unresponsive and getting weaker. she started fitting so i made the awful decesion to let her go.

i let Angus say his goodbyes and he is eating and seems ok if not a little lonely today. we have no idea what poor wee Rosie died from, my vet thinks it was respiratory problems but we are watching Angus carefully just in case it was vhd.

Mick kept telling me she was the worst to come out of there, she was painfully thin and snotty but i thought we had her over the worst. she had such spirit and mischief and the only thing i am glad of is for the last 8 weeks she knew what it was to have care, love and happiness in her short little life.

RIP Rosie. x

Sleep tight beautiful girl.

As you said, at least she knew love while she was with you.

Oh no I'm so sorry, binky free Rosie xx

Binky free Rosie sorry

Oh no, not Rosie She's had an amazing two months with you. You gave her a life she never knew and tried so hard to help her. It's just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry Binky free sweet Rosie xx

So sorry to hear about Rosie - she's now a star shining bright at Rainbow Bridge. Thinking of you at this very sad time. xxx

so sorry x

So sorry

So sorry So good that she got to spend her final weeks been looked after though

So sorry. RiP Rosie.xxx

thankyou everyone.

i'm heartbroken she wasn't strong or healthy enough to stay with us, i keep asking what else i could have done but she seemed to be doing well and i thought she was really getting there.

i think of where she came from and little tell tale things she did that made me realise she probably had to fight for everything. if she got veg or treats she used to run about in a panic trying to find somewhere safe to eat it, she would stop for a couple of bites then run somewhere else with it.
she was very loved up with Angus who has to be my main priority now, i know he will miss her and her company.

he hopefully starts his jabs this weekend, he is already wormed and neutered so with a bit of luck he will be rehomed soon with a nice lady bun.

So sorry to hear about Rosie. You did the very best you could and she was lucky to be with you in those last few months. She finally knew happiness after coming from such an upsetting background.
