Morning All,
Sorry to say that I had to let Fluff go yesterday, he went downhill quite quickly and his breathing started to get worse again. His eyes had improved a tiny bit but his nose had not . The main problem was his mouth he had been eating but bouncing his mouth off and tilting his head to get at things in the most comfortable way. He looked so sad and unhappy and whilst encouraging him to eat he just looked at me and seemed to say enough .
The vet ... a new one at our practice saw him yesterday she had seen him several times discussed various options and there was the option of admitting him and starting penicillin injections and fluids and syringe feeding but he was so tired and his mouth so sore I had promised him to let him go when he had enough.
Obvuiously now I wish I had gone down the route of treatment, but deep down I know he had enough. I will always think should have we done the daily injections ... what if ...
Cant do that though as will send myself crazy.
Thank you for all your support and advice it was all really usefull ...

Lisa, Fluff let you know what he needed you to do for him. You and only you were the one in the position to be able to read his needs. Whilst now questioning yourself is only to be expected, I think most of us do that when we have to let one of our Rabbits go. But you did what was right for Fluff.
RIP Fluff-Bunny xx
