Rest in Peace, Wesley Bunny

[chinakit]

This morning I took Wesley to the vets with his tooth and jaw problem, which has been ongoing for at least the last year. Sadly, his tooth roots had now gone right through his jawbone, both into his eye socket and through his bottom jaw also, causing painful abscesses. Because of this, and because there is no cure, I made the sad and painful decision to have him put to sleep.

Wesley had only been with me for a few weeks, and I hope they were happy ones. A friend of mine rescued him about a year ago from a breeder where he was being neglected.

Even though I had not had him long, he made a big impact on me with his gentle and laid back attitude. Although he was a tiny rabbit (Polish), he was big on personality.

Rest in Peace, Wesley, and I really do hope that we will meet again one day at Rainbow Bridge.

I really do need to get another neutered boy to live with Bluebell now, she will be so lonely without Wesley. Kayj, please can you let me know more about that boy you mentioned before.

sorry to hear about your bun at least the last few weeks of his life where happy ones rip little one

[chinakit]

Thank you everyone for your kind replies. For some reason, losing this little bun has affected me more than usual, probably because his life was cut short by some ****** person who could not be bothered to feed him right when he was a baby. I am upset, but also angry about it.

Thanks to you all for caring.

Oh I do hope so ... thank you for being so kind.

The damage people do just to save a few pence on feed never stops making me mad .... I know also that this problem could have been genetic, but that makes me mad too, because those breeders should be more responsible.

I am feeling anger as well as grief, normal I suppose, considering poor Wesley's problems. I am thinking of starting a campaign for responsible rabbit breeding, in his memory.

Sorry he's gone; at least he was loved at the end, you did what you could for him.

Yes, I did what I could, and in the end, what I had to do. Reminds me of a poem I saw in Pro-Rat-A many years ago, which I will repeat here, in Wesley's memory. It always makes me cry.

'Should pain precede my final breath
Would some kind hand come down
And pre-empt God, at my request?

I tried my best for you, I hope you know
But the hardest thing I ever did for you
Was let you go'

Goodbye Wesley, you were a great rabbit, so kind and gentle, with a huge personality. Miss you lots.

sorry to hear about your loss, its really sad that he had that problem which could have been advoided with proper care/feeding before you had him.

I was in that situation 2 years ago with a bunny from a friend of a friend who had know idea about rabbits, I took on thumper and had him for a year and in that time loved and cared for him with his teeth problems, in the end I had him PTS as i was fighting a battle i couldn`t win.

Its really hard at that time but i think back and am pleased at least the last months of his life he was loved and cared for 100% and those days were the best i could make them.

I`m sure you`ll look back soon and think the same.

Chin up and remember the good times.

cheers

What a lovely poem. Sorry to hear about Wesley, he sounds like a very special bunny who was lucky to spend the last few weeks with you.
Binky free little one. Say hi to Flopsy and Patch for me.

Thanks Marlene, I am now beginning to get over the shock of losing Wesley but I still miss him like mad. In fact I am thinking of looking for another bunny like him. He was a black otter Polish rabbit, and I don't think there are a lot of those about. People don't tend to get Polish as pets, as they have a reputation for being unhandleable and nasty, but this was never my experience with Wesley.

I am so sorry to hear about Wesley he was well loved and had a lovely life with you :wink:
