Since my gorgeous Gemma sadly was helped to the Bridge on Monday her husbun George has been very sad. He spends a lot of time in his crate with his back to me
He is eating, but much less than usual. There are still lots of poos but they are smaller than they used to be. I don't want to stress him out further by taking him back to the vet as he was there when Gemma died. If I have to I will syringe feed as I am positive there is no blockage, he is grieving, but I would prefer not to stress him out by doing that.
I have been giving him cuddles and he accepts them but just looks so very sad. Pippa (my cat who thinks she is a rabbit) has also been spending time with him and grooming him but she doesn't speak 'rabbit' and he needs a companion of his own again.
My finances are dire at the moment but fortunately that will change as I was successful in getting another job and start my three weeks training on 14 October as a 111 call handler. I am working as and when but have been told if I want to I can change to a contract with set hours. I have also been given a new client at my other job and told there are a lot of hours there I can work. Am doing a 14 hour shift with her on Sunday, which is at a higher rate, so that will help.
George is a BARC bunny and Angie has a single, agouti, female bun who looks ideal for him. She is two and has been spayed and vaccinated (which was important as it will take a while for my finances to sort themselves out). She will be insured as Gemma was and so I am used to the premium being deducted every month.
All I have to do now is sort out a bunny run from BARC to somewhere near enough for me to be able to go and collect her.
I have told George I have hopefully found him a wife but he still looks so sad. It is breaking my heart to see him like this and I feel dreadful when I have to leave him to go to work - but I have to as I only get paid if I work as all my jobs are 'as and when'.
Will put a thread up for a bunny run and hope that one can be arranged.
Fingers crossed everyone.
The bun in question is Violet
