Happy Hopping
Wise Old Thumper
The vet just called, Bobby passed away shortly after the injection of the medicine that put him under a GA. He has a heart attack just after. The vet said a senior bun with cancer, his body is weak. Of course, there is also the loss of blood that is somewhat high.
I was afraid this will happen when I notice he can't sit up right with his right leg.
I adopted Bobby in May of 2010. He was about 6 year old at the time. So I look after him for 6 years. He's a great rabbit. And since the surgery back in Nov. 2017, he's not in any pain and the cancer never spread, so his diet is great thru out.
The only small relief is, back in Feb. 5, 2018, after I contacted the regular vet, he send me an assessment on the surgery, which would have been this surgery. And at the time, I rejected it because of the general risk in surgery due ot his age. Now I know I made the right choice. The difference is, he would not have lost all these blood if a surgery were done back in Feb. 2018, but there is no way to know if a heart attack would occur like what happened today, due to his age.
So in a way, I ends up having Bobby for 1 more month this way. Coincidentally, today is Mar. 5, so it would have been exactly 1 more month that he lives longer by.
I want to thank everyone, especially Jane, for your help and kind words.
