Well this week has been all up and down for my buns. Fozzie is 10 years old and has glaucoma and now an eye ulcer which hasn't improved in a week. Her guts have been slowing down and has needed shots of metaclopromide this week. The vet has said this is probably due to the pain from her eye so she is on more pain relief. However, if the ulcer doesn't heal then there is probably not much more we can do. I'm not happy to put her through an op to remove the eye.
Then there is her bonded partner Archie, who is 8.5 years. He has osteomyelitis in his upper jaw and tooth roots are a mess and has an abscess progressing across his face. Again the surgery is drastic and I'm not happy to put him through it.
I'm sure, sooner rather than later, I'm going to have to make the pts decision for one of them. They just dont have time on their side. And the hard part is do I pts them both together? I know that sounds horrific and normally I would make a decision based on the individual but they're inseparable.
Fozzie is blind and relies on Archie and she keeps his eyes clean. It seems awful I know and my hubby doesn't think it's right, but I can't imagine how one would cope without the other. Archie pined badly when we lost another bunny, who he wasn't even "bonded" with, and he didnt eat for 2 days and was hospitalised.
I know it'll seem like I'm cheating one bunny out of some time. I just don't know what to do. A pts decision is hard enough, never mind when there's 2 involved.
Any body any experiences of this please? I need to sort my head out!!
