Stasis X-Ray

[Beapig]

Oh Beapig, I'm so sorry to read that you've lost your beautiful Jellybean. ��

When I saw your update last night I was really hopeful that she was starting to turn a corner. I'm so sorry she turned out to be far more unwell that anyone realised.

I just wanted to echo what others have said in that you have nothing to beat yourself up over. Guilt is a very common part of grief, it's something most of us go through, but it will pass. There's no way you could have known that Jellybean had kidney issues. The experts, the vets themselves, didn't know and had to run blood tests to find that out. The very difficult reality is that these illnesses remain hidden for a long time and it's practically impossible for us, as owners, to get ahead of them. You did your best for Jellybean in getting her to the vet when you realised something was wrong and there was absolutely nothing more you could have done.

I really hope that in time your grief will become more bearable and you will be able to remember the happy times you had together. She had a wonderful life with you and no bunny could ask for more.

Sleep tight, Jellybean xx

Thank you so much for your kind words Scrappy, I really needed to hear this. The fact that she went from seemingly very healthy to on death's door in just a matter of hours, has really messed with my head. The vets even said that to look at she was in such good physical condition for her age. I feel awful that she suffered through treatments for 24 hours before finally being put to sleep - if I had known that this would be the outcome I would have relieved her of her suffering immediately. It is comforting to me that others feel guilt when grieving, I feel a bit less alone.

It is very hard because we are going to have to think of bonding her husbun Hamilton with Lily and Maple asap. When his previous partner Beatrice passed away, he grieved so much that he got stasis. He seems okay at the moment but I'm worried that it will happen again.

Thank you everyone else for your kind words, I honestly don't think I could have got through these past couple of days without your support.

I'm not surprised you're reeling from this. It's frightening how quickly they can go downhill. I remember when I lost Peanut Butter. On a Monday evening he was chasing me around the kitchen. He died on the Wednesday morning. I really struggled to process how fast he went downhill and I remember I ended up babbling incoherently at the vet as it just didn't make sense.

The vet did day something to me I've never forgotten. She said that even though it's an awful shock for us when it happens so quickly, in the end it's better for them as it means they didn't suffer for long. I did eventually get some comfort from that.

That is very comforting. The worst thing is to watch an animal slowly deteriorate and suffer. Thank you for telling me that. I'm sorry that you went through a similar thing with Peanut Butter, it is always so hard to lose a beloved bun.

Thank you everyone for your condolences.

Please tell me I am misreading your comment about feeling guilty. You had no way of knowing the severity of her illness when she went to the vet. She started to improve before declining, so there was hope for a recovery until your world fell apart. In an alternate universe she would have continued her improvement and come home-yet it was not meant to be.
Hugs.

Oh I'm so sorry to read of Jellybean's passing. She sounded like a wonderful character! The fact that she dug that burrow and then filled it back in again is so funny. Someone once said to me that we can find some comfort in knowing our beloved pets only ever knew love in our care. I hope that that also brings you comfort. Jellybean was so loved, well fed, well cared for and had a great life.
