Theo's dying U/D He's gone

I just found out that my gorgeous boy Theo is not well at all, struggling to breath and not eating and has been rushed to the vets. My Mum thinks this is the end for him. :cry: He's been fighting an abscess in his jaw for the past 2 and a half months being on daily painkiller and getting penicillin injections every few days.

I'm at Uni and it's my Mum looking after him. I've not seen the bunnies since 19th September and I'm going home next weekend. I hope he doesn't die before I get to come home. I miss him so much, can't lose my baby boy. :cry:

I'm so very sorry to hear this. :( Sending healing vibes for Theo with all due speed. xxxxxxx
 
I'm so sorry. My childhood moggy was in the same state as I went to university. She made it until I got home to come over to me to give me a cuddle. I hope he makes it. :cry:

I just can't believe you're facing this again, having lost your first two while you were away on holiday and then having lost Mischief to the same illness as this, it's so damned unfair, especially Theo being so young :cry::cry:

Is your rabbit vet (Jo, I think?) still available for him? I know she's highly thought of by the York RUers.
 
Thank you. He was taken to the vets Alison and it's been Jo who's been his vet throughout all this. Unfortunately she wasn't available today so Theo saw the other vet who referred him to Trudy the specialist at Morley. Turns out the abscess in his mouth has caused fluid to get into his lungs and he now has an abscess on his lung. I've spoken to the vet over the phone and Theo is really struggling and is not healthy enough to operate. There's no other option than to put him to sleep. He's currently on oxygen and I'm on my way home to him. I hope he will hold on so I can say goodbye and I hope I'm not making a selfish decision making him wait. I just want him to pass peacefully with me and the other bunnies by his side. :cry:
 
God, I'm so, so sorry. I just hoped your trusted vet might be able to pull a miracle out of the bag, bit naive really. I know how special this little guy is to you. This must be killing you. I hope you get to say a peaceful goodbye to him.

poor little guy. :( i hope his passing will be peaceful and that you make it to be with him. really heartbreaking. sending hugs x
 
Oh Emma I'm so sorry :( I've read your threads about him in the past and you really have done so much for him, he's a very lucky bunny who's clearly had a great life with you. I hope you're ok xxx
 
I'm about 45 mins away from my little man. Been travelling since 12, so expensive to get home too but I will do whatever I can to be with Theo. I really don't think anything can be done for him, he can't breath properly, we knew he didn't have long left and we have been able to give him a happy 2 and a half months extra. I don't think it would be fair to continue keeping him alive if he's no longer going to be happy and with his current condition it's not curable anyway. :cry:

Thank you, I hoped so too but to be honest I'm positive she would have suggested pts too. In the past she's said we would have to consider it soon and all you need to do is look at Theo now and it's certainly time. :(
