My bunny Pixie died yesterday, she was PTS as she had a large mammory tumour that burst. I feel beyond awful, I didn't spot it, I had to make a quick decision re:the PTS on the suggestion of a vet that wasn't my usual one as I am on holiday and my Mum has had to deal with it all. I was advised she was in pain, if she had surgery it was unlikely to be successful & it would be very invasive so I said PTS as that seemed to be the best decision.
I'm now regretting it, even though there is obviously no point as I can't turn back time. It's so horrible not being there, I feel guilty on so so many levels. I trust my Mum, she is a huge animal lover, but I know a lot more than her & wish I'd asked. Ore questions before I gave the go-ahead, I've let Piixie down.
She seemed fine, hopping around and eating as usual, how did I miss it? Apparently they can be very quick growing but still....that's no excuse as a responsible pet owner.
Binky free Pixie, she was a lovely bunny. The only positive is that I gave her a few better years as she was living alone being tormented by dogs in her previous home, she had her last 3.5 years living indoors with Peter & me.
