We've now picked Binkies ashes up, it was heart breaking and we all miss her dearly, but we're coping. I know Monte is okay as a lone bunny, he had been for 6 months when bonding needed a long break, but now that he's had Binky and suddenly gone back to no one I'm feeling bad for him. He is his usual self, eating huge amounts like usual, still binkying and running about. I adopted him however to be company for Binky when I can't be there 24/7 as they live outside. He has Snuffles and we'll be going back to the vets soon to hopefully try a different antibiotics, may also ask for a sample to be taken to the lab but due to spending a huge amount for Binky at the OOH vets (had no insurance for her so all came out of my savings) I'm having to delay the vets a bit.
I'm worried about introducing another rabbit to him if they get the snuffles too and we are also unsure how Binky got bloat but I did think that perhaps it had been from grooming Monte. He gets a lot of mats in his fur from cleaning himself with his snotty nose and I don't always find them straight away to groom them out of his thick coat so I was wondering if this could've caused Binky's blockage. I suppose I'm wondering if it's a good idea, for now it won't be happening as I want to see if we can clear his snuffles or at least reduce it considerably beforehand, but in the long run is it best for him if he's content the way he is? I have been with him a lot more lately, sitting out with him, but he is quite independent and not much of a snuggly bun - which is fine. I just want what's best for him and at the moment I don't know what is the best for him. He enjoyed Binkies company, I know that, he liked the snuggles and grooming but he was incredibly hard to bond. Any advice or thoughts appreciated, I know you don't know Monte but sometimes it's best to hear what other people think as I tend to get myself worked up over things
