Mickey has died :(

I'm so upset.

Mickey stopped eating yesterday, so off to the emergency vet last night. He has some fluids and I fed him via syringe and he was back to his normal self again last night.

Seems the problem was with his teeth, so he went in for dental this morning, but died under anaesthetic.

We've only had him for 3 weeks, I feel horribly guilty, and now his wife bun is all alone

I'm so sorry you lost Mickey. Please don't blame yourself. Sometimes it happens that a bunny can't take the anaesthetic. No one could have known.
 
Thanks everyone. It's just really sad. Need to decide whether to collect him or leave him at the vets... don't really know what to do tbh

I would always bring my bun home with me. Ask your vet to hold on to him until you decide. He will have passed over very peacefully x

I'm so sorry.:(
I can only say what I have done - which is to bring home to show the other rabbit, and to give myself time to get used to the idea, and then return to the vet for cremation.
 
Do you think I need to look for a new friend for Minnie? How long should I give her? She's going to be so sad x

Personally, I wouldn't wait more than a few days because, as you say, she is going to be very lonely.
 
Ok thanks. We adopted them from rspca 3 weeks ago, so I'm hoping they will help find her a friend and help with bonding

I'm also a little annoyed they didn't tell me he'd had dental previously, feel like i could have been better prepared if I'd known. I just hope they help me find her a friend x

Sounds like a good plan. I'm sorry they didn't tell you about the dental issues. Make sure you get as much info as possible on the potential new bunny, and also on Minnie.

I wouldn't rush into getting another bunny - it will happen when the time is right x
 
So sorry :cry: Binky free mickey Xx

Anesthetic is always worrying :( my girls have their first anestetic at the age of 2 soon for their spays, I hope it doesn't affect you with future GA's for buns too :(Xx

I'm so sorry you have lost beautiful Mickey - GA's are a worry and it's not your fault in any shape or form, it's just very bad luck. I hope you can find Minnie another friend soon and binky-free at The Bridge, Mickey.
