Just a bit of advice please..i feel like a failure. I sadly lost our beloved rabbit sat ..i feel like im the only one who loses them!! as over4yrs ive lost 3 . The first one become poorly off his food took him to the vets on 2 occasions and gave meds etc and crytical care but still didnt make it. About a yr or so later i then got another as felt sorry for my other bun being on his own. He came in for cuddles everyday and was very much loved but after great thought i got him a girfriend..but about a yr later shortly after her Rhd vaccine she got poorly and again vets crulitical care meds etc but didnt make it....im was so strick on thier routine and what they ate etc they go out each day in the garden and have lots of cuddles with us hay pellets vegs not too hot or too cold i would worry so much.
The last one would have bouts of GI.over the 4 yrs.i would dread going away on hol only to get a phone call from my bunny savy friend who was great to say he was off his food and on critical care. He even stopped eating with the bunny bonding experience with the 2nd bun. He often was and it was stressful. He was vacinated each yr but still caught myxi in oct! but we got through that. The bouts of GI i would be straight on it after losing the other two if he was off his food i know he would eat dandelions so id go pick him some and he would eat them and give him infocol and tummy rubs and he would be ok! ..things would kick start and he would eat again.but this time fri afternoon i got him in for cuddles and he was fine no tummy gurgling or teeth grinding he was his usual self! fri eve he was off his vegs though i thought oh no whats caused this hes been really good for ages! But there was no gurgling tummy or grinding teeth...i quickly got dandelions which he ate along with a baby corn as he liked those he ate them so i put him to bed and thought hes going to be ok as hes ate them they usually do the trick. I got up early sat and again went and got him dandelions which he did eat and he drank too so i was hopeful he would pick up and got him moving about....so i went to do a shop for my mum i came back and tried him again with dandelions he started to eat them but was weak and just stopped and refused so i took him to the vets meds were given but it was too late he died a couple hrs later. I feel so awful i thought he would be ok as he was eating!.i thought hes a strong bun hes got through mxyi and other bouts but not this time..he had his rhd vacine in may...sorry i didnt know who to ask or talk too i just feel incapable of looking after anything when you care for something the best of your ability you dont expect it to happen.i keep going over the what ifs but as he ate sat morning i was feeling hopeful he would be ok like the last occasions he was off his food... but wasnt the case he went down hill very quick other people give thier rabbits a whole big broccoli and they seem to be ok...i just cant get over it i feel like i should of done something different and the whatifs but as he was eating dandelion leaves fri eve and sat morning i thought he will be ok and get through it like he usually does .he was loved so much and we feel absolutely heartbroken x
