Hi all,
My sweet 10 year old bunny Fluffy was put to sleep this morning under the vets recommendation but I feel so guilty.
Yesterday she tried to stand up on her back legs and I noticed a lot of blood, rushed her to the emergency out of hours vet who said it was a mammory tumour and she must have caught it on something in the garden which caused a wound and gave her some painkillers (she’s an outdoor bunny). I took her to our normal routine vet this morning who found a second tumour and also said her liver was swollen and it was likely the tumours had metastasised to her lungs. She said her post op recovery would be really hard due to her age and she’s likely in a lot of pain so recommended putting her to sleep. Fluffy was still hopping (albeit slowly) round her hutch and eating hay this morning although she wasn’t drinking and now I feel so guilty and that I should have given her more time or went through with the operation or something
I’m not even sure why I’m posting, I guess I just feel like I may have made the wrong decision and I’m devastated
