Just asking for general advice of course my rabbits will see a vet.
Desmond has recovered from fly strike, but is still incontinent of urine due to EC last year. This means that he is at a great risk of getting flystrike again. His back end doesn't really work properly, one of his legs is a but lame, but he is still happy, eats well, happy to see me etc, but his quality of life isn't great as he is no longer in his luxury shed, but indoors. Sometimes now he lies on his side and cannot get back up without help. He is 5-6 so not majorly old for a rabbit, but still had a good life for these years.
Douglas is his brother, he is now showing signs of EC which I will treat, but when is enough enough and time to day goodbye? I'd much rather them be put to sleep than string out their illnesses as this is the way I am.
I know no-one can tell me the answer but just wanted some opinions. This isn't to do with money/ vets bills etc, it is because I am aware that animals have the choice to die happy.
