Thor's not himself - U/D 6/10 He didn't make it (Some upsetting content)

Thanks for the replies. Was going to update on here last night, but things then took a turn for the worst. He didn't make it :cry:

I'd brought him in for the night around 8pm and he had some normal poos around his bum, so I hoped this was a good sign. He ate some rocket no problem, by 10pm he was completely lifeless, stretched out and barely reacting. I kept him on my lap, where he lay sleeping, but around 11pm he had some sort of seizure (the vet said a seizure was strange, maybe it was just him passing, idk) and didn't recover. I was sure I could still see him breathing for a short while, but my dh said he'd gone. It was distressing seeing him like that, I was shouting for help with him in my arms and no one did anything, not that they could....

I took him in this morning and he had a couple of normal poos on his bum then, when the vet checked him, so they said it might not have been gastrointestinal at all, but maybe a tumour or something. We'd put his weight loss down to him being a more normal weight than perhaps over when he arrived, but I'll never make this mistake again.

How can I have lost 2 of the 3 (that came together) in the space of a few months? Could their bad start have contributed!

You couldn't have met a more gentle bun :cry: x

You did your utmost best for him.

Love and hugs to you.

Run free beautiful Thor xx
 
I’m so very sorry:cry: you did everything you could for him, and he was very lucky to have you :love:

Thinking of you and sending hugs xx

Binky free Thor xx
 
How very sad :cry: I'm so very sorry that he didn't make it.

In my experience, rabbits sometimes will fit as they are dying. It's something I have witnessed with my own rabbits. I have understood this to be a distressing part of that process and not anything to do with the actual cause of death. Sadly I think without a post mortem it's difficult to speculate what the problem with him was.
 
I'm so very sorry to hear Thor has left us. :cry: Words seem inadequate for the pain you must be feeling. You are in my thoughts. ((((Hug))))
Sleep well, Thor, and sweet dreams. xxxx
 
I'm sorry , this is really sad :( binky free little Thor

And hugs for you and your family xx

I'm so sorry I'm so late to the wake :( Sorry your little hummer had to leave :'( I've just been back and looked at the phots from his overnight stay here :( My OH and hutch-moving friend will be sad too :(

Best wishes to you all, ThreeBs, you did more than many would, and he and Sky had much better lives than they otherwise would have. I do think it's... maybe not coincidence that the two lops from the Nottingham rescue have both departed within a relatively short timescale, but equally it totally could be coincidence and I'm not sure I want to know either way :'(
