I’m so sorry to hear Shamrock is ill, I hope you get some good news. How old is she?

I’m so sorry she isn’t doing well. I know how hard it is to wait for news – here’s keeping my fingers crossed that it’s good news and worth the wait.

I hope Shamrock is feeling better soon- hugs and healing vibes to both you and Shamrock.

(((Shamrock))) I know you haven’t had her long, so something from her past may be showing up. Hope she is ok and if anything, only has something that is easily treatable. Keep us posted.

So sorry to hear about your little Shamrock. That is so sweet that Gizmo is trying to help out!! I have always allowed my other animals (dogs, cats, buns and other little critters) the oportunity to say their good-byes either before or after the sick one passes, depending on the relationship shared between them. I think it’s extremely important in allowing them to have the opportunity to understand at whatever level it may be!! My thoughts are with you and youir buns during this hard time!!

I’m sorry to hear about your bunny Shamrock. Gizmo sounds like a sweetie and he’ll take good care of her until she passes.

I am so sorry to hear about Shamrock. The vet said there is nothing to be done? Did the vet recommend you take her back home, or did he recommend you consider putting her to sleep? I know this must be hard for you, just try to spend some time comforting her, it sounds like Gizmo is making sure that she is not alone. It sounds like you have done everything that you can and I’m so sorry to hear that you may be losing her.

I am so sorry to hear that Shamrock is critically ill.  I think that BinkyBunny mentioned her vet recommended keeping the deceased mate with the other bunny until they realize what has happened. I think she mentioned that it took Jack about an hour to really figure out the Rucy was gone.  

aaww, I am so very sorry to hear of Shamrock’s passing. I know it is so distressing to lose a beloved pet and especially to watch Gizmo grieve for his friend. I’ve lit a candle in Shamrock’s name to help light his way to the Rainbow Bridge.

oh mkeene10, I am so sorry! How heartbreaking. I am glad you left her body with him because though it is absolutely so so very difficult to watch them realiize (oh gack, I’m getting choked up just thinking about) that their buddy has passed, it is supposed to help them understand, otherwise they may end up looking for their buddy and make it difficult to find a new buddy if they think their mate would come back.

I think watching them realize their bonded mate has passed is soooo hard!! I couldn’t stop crying watching Jack go through this. He would do the some of the same things Gizmo did – nudging her, trying to get her “wake up”, he even thought to try and mount her but didn’t even get halfway on her before he sniffed her, got wide eyed, sniffed her in a confused sort of way and then backed off, that was then he realized for sure and after that he wouldn’t go near her. He was in the blues from that point on – The vet said when he realized she was gone, he would stop trying to do that, and then wouldn’t go near her and that’s what happened in Jack’s case. It is no fun! But it is for the best to allow it to happen.

So just be sure to give Gizmo lots of love and watch and make sure he is eating and pooping as well. Sometimes this can slow-down a bit with the bonded mate that is left behind. Jack would be fine if we would sit with him and pet him, it would stimulate his appetite. But for two weeks, if we left, he would nibble but he wouldn’t eat like normal.

  I know it’s hard to lose them, but I am glad she passed in your loving arms.

Oh, I’m sad to hear this. She went so quickly. My condolences to you mkeene. This sounds like something she may have succumbed to at some point, so it’s a blessing she had a home with you and wasn’t still out on the street. Likely she wouldn’t have survived as long as she did.
Now she can keep Dudley company and Gizmo may find comfort with Karma.

Oh no, I’m so sorry. My bunnies are all pretty young and I hope I don’t have to deal with this for a long time. Hugs to you and Gizmo.

I’m so sorry! How sad, and I agree, I can’t imagine having to watch one of my pair have to “figure out” the other one is gone. It’s amazing the way they form such strong bonds to their mates.

Binky Free Shamrock.

Hug to you.

I am so sorry that Shamrock has crossed the bridge, but at least she was with you. She felt that love all the way across the rainbow.

We had a German shepherd who had a tumor something like what you described. We didn’t even know she was ill until it was too late. It was a very sad day when she passed.

Sending loving hugs and vibes for you and your remaining bunnies. ((((((((((((((((mkeene10))))))))))))

I’m am sooo shocked and sorry to hear this! I just can’t believe how quickly these little guys can leave us. It’s just heart breaking. I think you did the best thing, though it’s hard on you, to bring her home to pass with her friend at her side. That will make things easier for Gizmo-he’ll understand and greive easier. And that’s more comfortable for her-in her cozy home surrounded by those who love her. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to go. *HUGS*

I’m so sad about Shamrock. I will light a candle for your pretty girl to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

I’m so sorry for your loss!

I’m so sorry to hear about Shamrock. I saved one of your pictures of her last month.
Hugs to you and to Gizmo.
