I am so sorry if this is the wrong section of the website.
Our baby boy, Dylan, passed away at 12:07 this morning (October 1st). He went down with bloat at around 10:30 am yesterday, took him to the vet and was told his stomach wasn't excessively bloated and he should be fine. We knew that the time was coming last night because he just was not responding to the medicine we were giving him. My mum and I decided to take last night in shifts, I took the first shift. He was in his hospital cage in the lounge and he was just laying down. I moved him onto my stomach so he could feel my breathing and my heartbeat as he was transitioning, he was on my stomach for about 35 minutes. He was in the groove between my breasts and had his arms outstretched. Then I thought I felt something happen in his body (maybe his stomach?). He then twisted his head back so it was almost touching his tail and started beating my chest with his outstretched arms. This happened for roughly 10-20 seconds. He then released his head so it was resting on my chest, then he took 'gasps'. It was of a motion than a sound, but that lasted around 10-20 seconds. Then he was gone. Is that a normal bunny passing?
