Bertie has just passed - 24th may 2024

[Craig 1965]

I'm just posting quickly to let everybun know that we sadly lost our beautiful Bertie this afternoon. He developed stasis yesterday and we got him to the vet straight away. He seemed to start to improve yesterday evening and was eating some dried treats and fresh dandelion. But this morning he deteriorated and I rushed him to the vet where they diagnosed bloat- confirmed by x-ray. The vets threw everything at Bertie but this afternoon as I was in a meeting with my support worker, the vet rang to say that sadly Bertie had passed.
I'll post more later - we are going to go now and collect him from the vet. I am now empty and just totally broken. I'm sorry to everyone that followed his journey with us and his beloved flo.
Sorry

I am so sorry Bertie passed so suddenly. You and Jan give your bunnies excellent care, so it is so unfair that you are dealing with the loss of another bunny.

Please take comfort in knowing that his time with your family gave him the best life a bunny could ever dream about --a forever home with a loving family, bonded partner, and a wonderful yard in which to hop and binky with his best friends.

Sending you lots of gentle hugs as you process this senseless loss, and extra nose rubs for Flo.

Thank you each and everybun for your kind support and thoughts. It means alot right now. I will post a suitable tribute post on here for Bertie but I'm not really up to that at the moment.
Thank you again and I'm sorry I haven't been as active on here as usual.
