I know I haven't been around for a while. It has been a tough couple of months as I have separated from my husband.
My darling girl Daisy is going to be put to sleep tomorrow. I think I have made the right decision.
This is her story. She was a pets at home bunny, some of you know I work at the vets there, she came in with recurring stasis and diarrhoea. The vets wanted to pts, but I took her on and gave her a shot at life. It soon became apparent that she was a special needs bun, she has idiopathic epilepsy and has a lot of absence seizures as well as dysautonomia (neurological problem that affects the guts), she is also a dental bun. At first we were getting 12 weeks between dentals but now it has become 4-6. Each time she needs a dental she loses more weight and is now skin and bone. She is still lively and eating. Her seizures are getting more and more frequent. The vets and I discussed it today and have decided not to put her through another dental as her body is not having enough time to recover between and she never puts the weight back on and it is so stressful for her with her epilepsy, and it takes her guts a few days to right themselves again after anaesthetic. I am devastated to be losing my little girl, but I would rather she went with some quality of life still left, she might have another couple of months left in her but I fear she will just go further down hill. She is only 20 months old
This is not a decision I have taken lightly, I just feel her QOL is slipping away. Please can we have some peaceful passing vibes?
