  Hi guys…
  
  I know I don’t often post on here but I just wanted to let everyone know that my baby girl Honey passed away recently, she wasn’t even 1 yet 🙁
  
  She got myxomatosis and they couldn’t save her. They said that if I let it go on she would have suffered one of the most terrible deaths possible so I decided for them to put her to sleep and out of her mysery.
  
  I just want everyone to know that even though I am in Australia and the most of you are not, it is still possible. Keep your babies safe and away from mozzies or other rabbits as much as possible. I wouldn’t want you to have to loose your babies too 🙁
  
  RIP HONEY BUNNY….

  As always, I am sorry for your loss. I just lost a young bun close to me but I didn’t have to make such a tough decision.

  Binky free, Honey. Myxi is a horrible disease, you made the right decision in not letter her suffer. There were a few cases reported quite near us in Sonoma California a few months ago, it is here in the states too. Please accept my deepest sympathies, it is hard to lose them when they are so young.

  She was so beautiful… I’m so sorry she passed so young. I hope she has a quick and easy journey to the other side, and I know that everyone else’s past bunnies will be there to keep her company until the day you can see her again.

  Myxi is Myxomatosis, a terrible viral disease in rabbits that is transmitted by mosquitoes. It is almost always fatal.

  I’m so sorry for your loss.I think the decision you made was the better one. Now she is in a wonderful place with bunny friends and has no illness or pain. She’ll wait for you at the rainbow bridge! She IS so beautiful. I say IS because she is not gone forever. Think of it as a vacation for her.

  awe so sad she was so beautiful. it will get better for you it is hard to do I had to do that too recently make that decision. I felt so guilty at first. but i know he is in no pain now poor darling. your darling will be find running in beautiful meadows on the other side with buns for company all in good health and no pain. what a horrible disease and a horrible thing that was introduced into the wild rabbits. that is disgusting people did that to them. we have to be so careful now.

  I am so sorry for your loss, Mixi is something that all Australians worry about as the stupid Government won’t introduce a vaccine for it. grrrrrrrrrrr

  Thank you everyone for all your kind words….
  
  It happened so quickly. She was perfectly fine in the morning and when I got home that night she was almost gone. Her fur had come away from around her eyes, her head was all swollen and her chest all puffy, but she was still moving around ok ?!?!
  
  I hope she is in a better place now, my poor baby.
  
  Thanks again everyone.

  Please hang around on the Board here (always nice to have another Aussie girl) …
  
  Maybe in time you will be able to have another bunny.
  
  Was Honey outside in a hutch? I am interested to know how Honey got myxi.

  Honey was in a hutch on an enclosed balcony, but we do have wild rabbits on our property and the most likely way she got it was from the dogs carrying a flea from the rabbits on the property and because they were near her they jumped from them to her and well….

  What a terrible disease. It’s naturally occurring in Europe I believe but was artificially introduced in Australia, and sadly the vaccine is illegal there out of a scientifically inaccurate fear that somehow the vaccine would spread to the wild population. You can write your local government and start petitions. Maybe some day things can be better for rabbits there.

  I am so sorry for your loss. Pets mean so much to us. My daughter lost her first little girl this past week too. Her little one was a two month old guinea pig that she had only had for two weeks. It broke her heart. I know you will carry Honey in your heart for always. Hugs to you. Tammy
