My poor bun Mr waffle passed away last night :-(
He'd been sick for 10 days and I did everything I could to make him better and after a trip to the vets last night I didn't want to leave him on his own there so I brought him home to syringe water every 20 minutes throughout the night. 20 minutes after we arrived back home he died snuggled in a towel on my lap. It's the first pet I have had since a child and it's quite upsetting. I wasn't prepared for him to go so soon even though I knew he was likely going to be put to sleep this morning anyway... I thought he would survive the night, not the half an hour he did.
Its so strange without him here it's amazing how much these little fluff balls can mean to you. He was a beautiful, caring rabbit, chased the vacuum, pulled the blanket for a fuss and waited at the living room door when you came in. Now I have his friend (I don't think they were bonded as she only came 3 days before he got sick and he then spent the last few days with just me) who hates me and I'm not sure what to do because I just want my waffie back! I don't want to replace him and feel it's mean to leave the new rabbit living alone like he had been (he was also a rescue)
