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

I'm thinking of you Jacks-Jane. I read your other thread/post too but didn't know what to say and it's made me feel pretty sad all day :(

I just feel a lot of people on here have spent years rescuing and providing so much love to rabbits where they would otherwise remain neglected or in rescue/ foster homes for the rest of their lives. I know it must take its toll, cost a small fortune and cause so much heartache along the way but if you (and others) put yourself in the rabbits shoes and have a think what they would feel it might help. That u never gave up, that after such neglect they spent X amount of years being looked after correctly. That someone really cared even though 'they're just a rabbit'. I should have probably wrote this on your other post but the words have only come to me just now.

I look at this site everyday and without people like you so many new or naive owners wouldn't be helped so even if you do choose to not have pets in the future I hope you will continue to share your expertise and experiences.

P.s. really really big hugs xx

Thank you. Compared to many others, especially Rescues, what I may have done to help Rabbits is minimal. All I can say is that I have always tried to do my best by each Rabbit who came into my care. I just feel that sometimes my best is simply not good enough.

What is especially hard to bear is when I have taken on a very young Rabbit who has had a dreadful start in life. My intention has always been to offer them a safe home for their entire life, a life that should be of several years. But too many times this has not been the case and the Rabbit's life has been cut tragically short. A few months ago it was Eliza D, now it looks to be Elsa.

I am just not emotionally robust enough to bounce back any more. How Rescues keep going year after year, seeing all the dreadful things that they often encounter during their work, is beyond me.
 
Elsa has just had all her meds and she is tolerating all the hands on care well. Her condition has stabilized for now and I will be consulting with C again today once she has managed to contact the two Specialists .

Because of Elsa exact problems surgery is not an option, it would kill her. Even if she survived surgery the chances of her ever recovering are minimal and would involve a lot of suffering. I am not prepared to put her threw that, although I know some will strongly disagree. Her only realistic hope is for the symptoms to be managed medically/by diet.
 
Thinking of you both. I hope you get a speedy response from the specialists with some advice which can help Elsa.
 
So sorry, have only just caught up with this thread. really hope Elsa can remain as comfortable as possible, for as long as possible. She is in the best of hands, as are all your furry family Jane xxxx
