I'm tired and exhausted, which is making this worse, but I don't know what to do.
The Dopeys and Lightning are a trio. Dopey 2 is in the very final stages of heart disease (for those that know how a terminal bunny progresses, she has gotten to the greasy fur stage- so we're looking at a week, tops, I would be thinking- but currently she is totally bright and loving life).
Lightning is super sensitive AND super suspicious.
He showed signs of needing a dental on Saturday, had his dental yesterday, and days medication in between. He now won't come to me, won't eat in front of me, won't do anything other than huddle in front of me. I've had to move them to an area where it's easier to access him if he needs more medication.
He came home and started eating straight away and has been eating fine in front of mum. Now, today, he is just picking at and looks so sad, and also totally still avoiding me. He is totally dosed up to the max on Tramadol and Metacam. BUT, what I don't know is if this is to do with his teeth, or if this is to do with Dopey 2 being very close to the end.
I don't know what to do to help him, but I just want him to feel better, but I don't know if that's feasible. The emergency vets won't do anything else other than what I can do here.
I don't know what to do, or even what I should or, if anything.
And, my other dilemma with Dopey 2 is that I've been advised for the last few months to not get her excited so she doesn't over exercise, but we can't help her anymore than she is already being helped. Now she is coming to the end, I really want her to experience what all the other bunnies have (minus Sandy and Roger), which is my big, garden size run. Right now, she is so perky she'd love it, but it could cut her life by days. But it could give her an amazing amount of pleasure right when she needs it the most. Is it cruel to potentially shorten her life to want to give her that amazing time? Is it something I shouldn't do?
Can I cry yet?
