Elsa-U/D 10th July RIP- The Last Post

You are taking veterinary advice - how is that cruel?

Thank you for the update, I keep wondering how you are both doing.

Topping up the vibes xxxx
 
Aww bless her, I really hope Elsa pulls through ok. Thinking of you, sending more vibes ( Bulgarian ones are we are on holiday!) and NO you are not cruel at all she is getting exellent care xxx
 
No judgement at all! Only you really know the in's and out's of Elsa's problems and what exactly the vets recommend. I would like to think everyone here would be doing everything possible like you are. Plus even if she is hurting atm, if the treatment/ care she's receiving now can make her well or comfortable going forward then that's what matters. Keep going Elsa :) xx

Bless her :love: she still has a spark in her eye :thumb: your vets are the best and I would follow their advice as you are doing, if anyone wants to think that you and your vets are cruel then they have a problem, not you. If anyone on here has said you are cruel I hope you have ignored them, after you have reported them! The last thing you need is some busybody trying to make you and your vets look cruel!

Topping up the vibes and hugs xx
 
You are certainly not cruel, please do not think that you are.

Everything you do is in your rabbits best interests and you are taking advice from your trusted vet.

Sending all my love to Elsa, stay strong little one, you can fight this xx

(((( hugs ))))
 
I've also been quietly following this thread and rooting for Elsa. I agree with Zoobec that she looks like she still has that spark in her eyes. I don't think you're being cruel at all. After the awful start she had in life you just want to give her a fighting chance.

I've only just caught up with this thread but I'm thinking of you Jane. I'm unsure what the exact situation is but having much loved animals in critical states at the vets is no fun for anyone.
 
C has just called again. Elsa is a little brighter now that she is on some different meds. She will continue to receive intensive care throughout the night. C says things are still 50/50 and it is a case of taking things hour by hour. I wont receive any more updates overnight unless the worst happens.
 
Glad to hear she's still fighting. What a strong girl she must be.
Jane, you are in no way being cruel. From my limited experience I've learnt that you can read when an animal still wants to fight and when they've had enough. I'm certain you know how to read Elsa, better even than the vets that don't know her, and you know what she'd want to do. Rabbits are so delicate yet they can have so much fight. I was virtually told Jazzie wasn't going to make it back in Feb, even the exotic specialist consulting said she 'shouldn't be alive' but she got through it all against all odds. She's so timid and scared, I would never have thought that she had such fight in her, especially how ill she looked that night. Yet now she's probably the happiest rabbit I've known, she seems to appreciate life more (as crazy as it sounds) and I genuinely believe she is glad to be alive.
You know your rabbit better than anyone else and you know what's right for her. I firmly believe you should always give them every chance to make a recovery unless there is absolutely no hope or their suffering is so severe and you know that they can't go through anymore.
You are not being cruel to Elsa, you are giving her a chance to keep fighting and the fact that she's still holding on says to me that that is what she wants.
Please don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. You know her best.
 
Awww, she seems so glad to see you! :love:
I agree with what others have said, that she is indeed fighting and deserves every chance to recover. Sending more vibes that she heals swiftly and can be home with you soon, I think she is looking forward to it. :D
((((((((((((Huge hugs)))))))))) Jane, I hope you are able to get some rest this evening. xxxx
