Oh Angoragirl – I am so so sorry.

I will light a candle for Lilly so she can cross the Rainbow Bridge.

I’ve had rabbits die suddenly on me too and even with a necropsy my vet could not really determine the reasons for their death.

I’m glad that Lilly had you even if it was for a short time.

It is most definitely not your fault – I know you cannot help but feel guilty but you know how rabbits are about hiding any illness and sometimes it is just something that could come on suddenly. Many many exceptional rabbit owners come home to find their rabbits have passed away. I know Matt would have rushed her to the vet had he suspected she had something wrong with her. You had a very good animal caretaker while you were gone and you have nothing to feel guilty about. You wouldn’t have left had she exhibited signs of illness or been ill, but she didn’t.

You are entitled to take a vacation after all.

I’m so sorry about Lilly but please don’t beat yourself up. And please take time to greive. I know whats it’s like to blame your self I still the blame myself for my first bunnies death and it’s been two years now. Again I’m so sorry.

Oh I am so sorry about Lilly.  I know it’s heartbreaking.  Do NOT beat yourself up over this.  It’s not your fault. There are so many sudden deaths lately it’s so hard to know what has happened.  This is my greatest fear that I’ll come home to what you did.  I’m leaving for 10 days in a week. BUT we can’t be chained at home either. A rabbit at Save A Bunny just died very unexpectedly and it turned out to be an aneurism.  He went very quickly. No warning. No nothing. It’s just so sad. You gave Lilly an incredible home so try and think of all the good things. I know that’s easier said than done. Take care.

oh noooo! AngoraGirl!!!!!! Binky Free Sweet Fluffy Lilly!

i’m so sorry! please don’t blame yourself, it could have and would have happened regardless of if you were there. it is not your fault! you did a wonderful thing for her by taking her in when you did. she had a HARD life and then you came and you were her GUARDIAN ANGEL! she never forgot that! she had unlimited love when she was with you, and some boy buns running around too! nobun could ask for more.

Big Hugs for you and give the boys smooches for me!

You know there could be so many things that happened to Lilly and she had no symptoms of anything but it seems like you might feel better if you did.

I’m not totally certain what the vet could do other than a checkup unless you start electing to do cultures, bloodtests, fecal, etc….

Of course getting a baseline blood test is always a good idea.

It might make you feel better to take them in;

I’m sooo sorry to hear about Lilly, I know how hard it is. She had a wonderful life with you and she’s waiting at Rainbow Bridge for you, binkying and whole and happy. Kokanee and Bailey will show her around. May your heart heal, Angoragirl. I’m sorry for your loss.

oh no!  sweet lilly… binky free.

i’m so so sorry angoragirl ((((((big hugs))))))  this is terrible.  it’s so special that lilly had you as a couch buddy even if for such a short time.  she was loved.  this is in no way your fault.

peace

So sorry to hear about your beautiful bunny….((((bunny hugs to you))))

SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SWEET PRECIOUS LILLY PASSING…YOU GAVE HER A WONDERFUL HOME, REMEMBER THAT.

it is hard to lose a beloved bun  a great companion and friend. she is in good health now and playing with other buns in beautiful meadows waiting for you she couldn’t help it it was her time to go.

I’m so sorry – they are so fragile and so good at hiding illness.

I’m so sorry. Why is it that we all have to be in love with such delicate little creatures? I’m sure you provided her with a wonderful life while she was here, and I’m sure nothing that happened was your fault.

I am so sorry Angoragrl, ((((((((((((((Binky free Lilly)))))))))))))))

I’m so, so sorry about Lilly. You were so good to take her and gave her the very best of care and attention. It sounds like there wasn’t an iota of a symptom for you or Matt to have known. I do think it would make you feel better to take the boys for a checkup. The vet may know what to look for when s/he hears how Lilly passed so suddenly. You’ll have more peace, and if there is anything they need, you will be glad you did.

Oh Angoragrl! I am so sorry! *tears* I will go light a candle for your darling Lilly!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, it is not your fault at all. Bunnies are masters at hiding any problems or illnesses, and I’m sure that Matt would have caught anything that you would have caught. Bunnies are very sensitive and delicate little animals, and sometimes it just can’t be explained what happened. I will say a prayer for little Lilly tonight.

Of all the photos I copy to my ‘binky folder’, the ones I use for tributes are always the ones that bring the tears to my eyes…but I do hope you can enjoy this photo arrangement and that it may help to ease your pain just a bit.

You are in my prayers, Angoragrl. Noserubs to Henri and Acorn too.

I am so so so very sorry hun

Totally understandable Angoragirl. Big hug to you.

hmmm… maybe she accepted it was her time to go & wanted to cuddle with you as much as possible before she left?  ((((((hugs & peace))))))

I’m really sorry to hear of Lilly’s passing. Thank you for caring for her the way you did.

I am very saddened by this news. My heart goes out to you. If you want and if you think it will make you feel better you can take the boys in for a check-up. Are they due for an annual visit yet?

I really wish I knew what to say. I’ve loved looking at pics of Lily and Henri, they’re just so sweet together. Losing a pet is never easy, it’s like losing a member of your family. I think that she must have known that something was coming and wanted to get in as much cuddle time as possible with you before then. You gave her a wonderful home and I’m sure she loved you as much as she possibly could.

Big Hugs Girl …. Hang in there!

I’m so sorry to hear about Lily, but you should be proud of the happy months you gave her! [[[Lily]]]

Oh those pictures are so precious! (I’m going to start crying again!) Yes, she did undergo quite a change with you.
Sometimes it is not the quantity, but the quality of the time we have with our loved ones. When it comes to quality, she had that in abundance from you.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful images. I feel sure the bond between you and Lilly is unbreakable and she feels your love still.

How old was lily? I am so sorry for your loss, i think you should just go and get them checked if only to put your mind at rest, dont beat yourself up this would have happened if you were there or not and even if you had noticed a small change that your bf had not would you have rushed her to the vet to check something so small out? No you would have waited till at least the next day and there was nothing you could do, it wasnt a major thing or he would have noticed so dont beat yourself up!
