I just wanted to say that we lost our beloved lop, Dopey this morning. He was just over 3 years old and had always had teeth problems, needing a dental every 3 to 6 months. Anyhow, the usual signs his teeth were bad started last week and I booked him in for a routine dental this morning.
The vet called me lunchtime and said Dopey was given his general anasethic (sp?) but then his heart stopped. There was nothing they could do and I've since picked him up so we can bury him in his favorite spot in the garden. I am devasted, I know he needed the dental and would never let him suffer but to lose him so quickly is terrible.
Dopey leaves behind a large French Lop called Thumper and to be honest, she is going to be one very lonely bunny for a while until we can face re-bonding her.
They were inseparable and very much in love. Dopey was an incredible bunny, totally lovable and such a character. He loved Riveta and currants as treats and life simply won't be the same without him. He will be very much missed!
I know I said goodbye to him this morning and I had a feeling something bad was going to happen, nothing prepares you for that call from the vet, but I wish I had one last chance to say goodbye and for him to say goodbye to Thumper.
Blinky on Dopey, love you.
