There's something seriously wrong with Benji....He's gone.

:cry: I’m so very sorry:cry: there are no words :cry: thinking of you and sending hugs xx

Binky free Benji xx
 
I'm so sorry to hear your heartbreaking news . Sleep tight beautiful boy. Thinking of you & Betsy, I hope she copes ok xx
 
I am so so terribly sorry. I am shedding some tears for this terribly sad turn of events. You did absolutely everything you could for little Benji - he knew that. Our little companions are so fragile and it makes me so sad when we lose those we love dearly.
Binky free you beautiful boy - you will always be remembered Benji. xx
 
I'm so sorry, BB. (((((((Huge hugs))))) I wish there was more I could do than just send sympathy. I'm gutted for you. :cry::cry::cry:

Sweet dreams, Benji. xxxx
 
I am sorry for your loss. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing you did the right thing for him.

Thanks everyone so much for your kind words. I am really struggling with Benji's death, probably the staw that broke the camel's back. I was completely happy with his vet care despite him being in the care of a vet I haven't rated highly previously. I can't believe how ill he was and I didn't have a clue. I am questioning so much and feel I must have let him down. I was on the verge of bringing him and Betsy indoors and looking forward to having them as house rabbits. I can't believe that's not going to happen. I just can't understand what went wrong and I am torturing myself with what ifs.

I’m so sorry, I know it’s natural to question yourself after a loss, but they hide their illness so well that it’s impossible to know. I am positive that you didn’t let him down at all. Sometimes it’s just not possible to save them, and you have had such bad luck :cry:

It’s most definitely not your fault. Thinking of you and sending hugs xx

I completely understand what you are going through with the loss of Benji. I lost my precious Evan the second week of December and I spent countless hours trying to make sense of his passing--asking myself what did I miss; would he be here if only I _____. Then over the next couple months I took four of my five remaining bunnies to the vets for various problems and my anxiety peaked, wondering if they would leave me too. Over this time, the incidents of wondering why I lost my sweet, adorable Evan have been further apart. He will never be forgotten and neither will your Benji.

I can empathise with that 100% I am sure you didn't let him down. The wisdom of hindsight can mean we feel we should have known or we should have noticed something. But in reality sometimes a loss will occur which nothing and no-one could have foreseen or prevented.

I am not at all surprised that you are struggling, you have so much loss and stress to deal with. I'll be in touch later today x
