Hi everyone, I posted the other day about Bucky biting me and needing stitches. He’d been better behaved in the kitchen, spending more time around us seemed to calm him down. ( we obviously moved him while cooking to his room) we got up today and he’d climbed on to the rubbish bin, jumped up to the kitchen counter, the door wasn’t properly closed in the cupboard. He’s stuck his head in and eaten 5 of my anti depressants some of my 30% codeine tablets and a load of the cats dreamies. He was barely conscious when I found him. Phoned the vets and was told oh will probably just some water and syringe him some food, I phoned the other vets instead and rushed him there, to me that’s ridiculous advice. He was coming round once I got there, there keeping him in to give him fluids and whatever else he needs. I feel so guilty, I never thought for a minute he could get in to a high cupboard. I know he’s naughty and aggressive but we do love him. I insured him last month which I’m so glad about, I know money shouldn’t come in to it, finding 100’s at once isn’t always easy. If everyone could send healing vibes I’d be so grateful xx

Poor Bucky :cry: I hope he will pull through x
 
Oh goodness me. You are certainly having a time of it with Bucky. It’s not your fault. I would never have thought of a rabbit getting into kitchen cupboards. I hope he gets better. Yes insurance is so vital . I did my quote but haven’t actually paid yet so this is a good reminder to do it.

Oh, what a naughty bun! Sending lots of vibes for little Bucky, I hope he gets well asap.

Don’t feel bad - very few of us would expect a bun to get up on the counter and into a medicine cupboard! He’s a determined little fella...

Is he neutered? If not, they often calm down after so worth considering x
 
So sorry for your loss, I didn't have chance to post love the other day :(

It was certainly not your fault and you did the right thing ringing the second vet and gave him the best chance there on

R.I.P. Bucky x

I am so sorry. It is a dreadful thing to happen. As for feeling like a terrible person - no, you are not - we always manage to blame ourselves even when in fact we have done our very best. :cry:
 
Oh no, RIP Bucky. Thinking of you, don't blame yourself acvidents happen, so so sorry for your loss x

Oh no :, ( I'm so sorry. Lots of bunnies have eaten things they shouldn't have. Toby once escaped out if his room whilst I was at work and ate all the buttons off the remote control. It's just luck what they find to eat so please don't blame yourself. You couldnt of anticipated he could get in a cupboard. Sending lots of hugs xxx
