I'm devastated as I had to make the decision today to put Alfie to sleep
He came home yesterday after a stay at the vets where they had been treating him for heart disease. There he was stable and we hoped with meds it could be kept stable at home. Last night his breathing only got worse and in the morning took him to the vets where they told me he his heart was beating really slowly and the breathing was just too heavy and he would only get worse.
It was the most painful and heartbreaking decision I have ever had to make, Alfie was only 3 and my first rabbit, but most definitely the best rabbit anyone could ever ask for. He loved to groom my face all over and loved to be stroked on the top of his head so much he'd go into a little trance! He loved the outdoors and would rattle the bars of his cage in the mornings for a biscuit! He was so sweet and affectionate and so full of character, just absolutely amazing.
I'm glad he is no longer suffering and that I was there when it happened to tell him I love him
Sleep tight and Binky free my baby bun xxxxxxx
Here are a few pics of my baby and a video to show what a funny and fantastic bunny he was
