        I never thought I would have to right this, but a mother’s broken heart thinks I needs it to help it heal.
        Cadbury was this smallest little bunny in the pen at the pet store 10 yrs ago, I couldn’t leave the brown bundle of fur there. So home he came with us to complete our little family. The cats loved him and he us, we were a family of four and always together. As life changes and people come and go from your life and the many moves later, he never complained always went with the flow.he was always there to snuggle when I had a bad day and was always there to make me laugh.

        Fast forward 9 yrs and another move to a bigger place for all of us and a big back yard for the bunnies to be outside most of the summer enjoying the grass and sun. So they didn’t stress with the move I sent everyone home with my parents that was a familiar place for them all to relax before I brought them home where everything was unpacked and smells of home.
        Things went great bringing them home I noticed he lost weight, mom said he was eating normally. I took him to work with me and we did x-rays,nothing showed up, did blood work and 75% of his kindneys were gone. My heart broke, so began our next journey.

        Subq fluids every day, critical care 3 times a day, medication twice a day and repeat blood work every couple weeks. Good thing he was such a good boy, never once complained. As I read on didn’t sites what to expect from this, many said I would only have a couple weeks. So as any good momma you do whatever makes him happy, outside as much as possible, more fresh greens, extra bananas, and lots of cheerios.

        I got 9 months with my boy, everyday a blessing, unlike what I have read he was happy up until the last week he didn’t want to take meds anymore, was tired of the medication and didn’t want the fluids either but most of all he stopped eating his cheerios, that told me he was done he couldn’t fight no more.

        So here we are a week later and my heart is still broken but knowing he is happy playing with other bunnies and probably eating as many cheerios as he can find makes me smile and cry.

        Sorry this is so long I just needed to get it off my heart

          I’m so sorry, Pam. The loss is unimaginable, but he had a happy decade with you, filled with snuggles and fresh air and whole-grain cereal. He must have known he was loved up until the end.

              I’m so sorry to read about Cadbury.

              I once had a cat, Lambchop, who was 14 lbs, and we noticed one morning that he didn’t have an appetite. Turns out he had around 90% kidney failure, had lost 3 lbs, but on a cat that size it was barely visible. He did not fare as well as Cadbury.

              You had Cadbury for a wonderful decade, and I am sure he is now enjoying many Cheerios over the bridge with our other beloved bunnies.

                I’m sorry that you lost Cadbury. Really stupid kidneys =(

                He couldn’t have had a more loving, caring owner. It sounds like he had a wonderful life, and when disease struck, you were there for him.

                    I am so, so sorry. There is nothing that can really help but time and comfort from those that love you. Take care of yourself and know that Cadbury was loved and had an amazing life with you.

                      I’m so sorry. You gave him a beautiful life although I know that doesn’t ease the loss. If it’s any comfort, kidney failure in humans is supposed to be a very peaceful way to go. You just become sleepy as your blood is filtered less efficiently. The hospice nurse that was my instructor said she would pick that way to go over any other illness.

                      And the subQ’s and wonderful TLC you provided undoubtedly made your precious Cadbury’s last months the very best they could be ❤. Sending you hugs…
