My amazing Doughnut has gone, I've just put her to sleep

I am absolutely heartbroken but she didn't want to eat and I think she may have fell over in the night and couldn't get up. She dropped down to 750g from 950g in a week. My specialist thought it was time too before she started suffering.

He was so lovely. Told me I was the most amazing owner and she was the most amazing bunny by living so long and a fighter but thought she didn't want to fight any more. I also thought that. I know it's the right decision, she was so underweight and forcing food into her to keep her going isn't fair. She did nibble her twigs and herbs this morning but wouldn't eat her dual care.

I don't know how I will cope not seeing that little face every day, hopefully it will get easier.
 
I'm so sorry to see this. Must have been a very tough decision, but it was the right one, I'm sure. Thinking of you xxx
 
I'm so sorry to read your news and know only too well what you are going through.

It's good however to see that you are at peace with your decision and that you, guided by your specialist, knew when the time was right. I know that given she needed such a lot of hands-on care the loss will be felt all the more. I hope knowing you did her proud will help you come to terms with the loss.
 
I am so very sorry :cry: Amazing is the correct description for Doughnut. Sending loads of hugs. I'm sure you will miss her terribly, but she had the bestest life with you.

Oh my goodness :cry: I am so, so sorry :cry: Without you Doughnut would have passed away years ago. You fought to get her a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Now you have given her one final gift of love. To allow her a peaceful passing in the full knowledge that it was 'her time', even though your heart must be breaking having had to do so xx

RIP Doughnut, I will certainly never forget you and I am sure your Special Vet wont either. I think you were his favorite Bunny patient :love:
 
Aw I'm so sorry to read this. We will all miss sweet little Doughnut and it will be very hard for you. They can leave such a big hole in our lives. Try to keep in touch with us and take care of yourself. Bye bye Doughnut, you will not be forgotten. xx
 
I'm so sorry. She was an amazing little bunny & you were the best carer she could have hoped for

Sweet dreams Doughnut, you'll never be forgotten.

Sending loads of love & hugs xx
 
I’m so very sorry :cry: you always have done the very best for her and she couldn’t have wished for a better carer :love: thinking of you and sending hugs xx

Binky free beautiful Doughnut :love: xx
 
I'm so very sorry to hear this. She couldn't have wished for a better or more loving carer, you put her best interests first, even though it must have been a heart breaking decision. Binky free Doughnut, you will be very much missed beautiful girl xx
 
Thanks everyone. I can't stop crying. To never see her little face again is heart breaking. I'm totally devastated but I am at peace with my decision. I had to sometimes force her to eat and I could tell she had had enough. She knew how much I loved her so I'm hoping she's doing lots of binkies with the other bunnies
