        I’m not sure exactly what happened – I rushed him to my vet last night – he had distressed breathing and was wheezing and wouldn’t move.

        My vet did some x-rays and thought heart disease.  He had me take him to the emergency clinic that specializes in rabbits.  They put him on oxygen and tried a heart med on him.

        I’m going to pick him up this morning and have my vet do a necropsy on him. 

        It sucks and I’m sad.

          oh Sarita,

          I’m shocked and so very sorry about Pepe! I don’t even know what to say except I know it hurts terribly. He always sounded like such a character and I know you loved him so much it just makes me cry reading this.

          I’ll light a candle for him and you, you know how much you mean to everyone here, you’re in my thoughts and prayers, too
          Binky free, Pepe

          I’ve started a candle group for Pepe, he’ll have plenty to light his way to the bridge

                Oh, Sarita, I am very sorry to read this. I have been reading all your posts on Pepe, and it was just so obvious how much he meant to you. I know he was a special bunny.

                My heart goes out to you and I know the pain you are going through. Pepe is resting in peace now – looking down on you thankful for all the things you have helped him through. He could not have had a better bunny mum than you.

                Rest in peace, Pepe – and have a nice journey over the bridge.

                                      I agree with the others, Pepe couldn’t have had a better bunny mom. I am certain he is smiling down upon you and will be watching over you as you have him all these years.

                                      Bless you. I will keep you in my prayers and I lit a candle for dear Pepe also.

                                        I am so sorry Sarita. I loved what a character he was, so strong-tempered as you always described him. He was a happy bunny though with you, getting to be free-range and digging at your sheets! I am sad for you. I didn’t expect him to go at all, I thought it was just going to be another dental appointment he had to recover from.

                                        Binky free Pepe!

                                          Oh Sarita!    I’m so saddened to be reading this today. My hearfelt condolences to you in losing your little buddy.  Too many good-byes for you this year.

                                          I really enjoy hearing about funny Pepe.   He will be missed!    Know he is free of his troubles now and can binky to his hearts delight.  Though he may just find a soft place to snooze the days away if he so wishes it.

                                            Oh no! I was just about to log out and I happened to scroll down further and saw his name in the subject line… :o(

                                            I am so, so sorry Sarita. Pepe was such a special guy and I can imagine how much you’re going to miss him. He was certainly a strong-willed rabbit who knew what he wanted and made sure to get it! And he could not have asked for a better person to love him thru out his life. It’s so amazing that you took all the ones no one else cared to have and you made them yours and gave them your all.

                                            So much loss in such a short time, hugs for you.

                                              I have lit a candle for Pepe, who was so courageous and meant so much to you. It’s been an awful year for your bunnies, but they have the best momma slave ever.

                                                OH nooo poor Pepe.     That was strange.     You  had just made a comment on thinkng that this teeth problems are shortening his life. 

                                                I wish that wasn’t true.     Pepe  you aren’t in pain anymore fellow.   You left us all too soon.

                                                I am so sorry for your loss.

                                                  Thank you everyone. I had become very attached to this big old bunny because he was so high maintenance and he was quite a character! He kind of had a sweet and a sour side to him.

                                                  The vet did a necropsy and we are sending out some tissues for a histology. She said that his heart did look larger than norma and that he had blood in his lungs (she is not sure if that was before or after his death). She said his liver and kidneys didn’t look right – kind of splotchy and red and yellow – moreso than she would have thought for his age. So we are sending out samples of his heart, lungs, liver and kidney. She warned me that they may or may not produce anything which I knew but that if it does, it could be helpful.

                                                      I am so sorry to hear about Pepe.  You gave him the amazing gift of life with a true friend.  Not many other owners would have dealt with his dental issues let alone his quirky behavior.  It is often the ones that can be the most “difficult” that leaves the biggest pawprint on our hearts.

He had the best home a bunny could ask for-he was lucky to have you and rest assured he’s looking down on your from the bridge and smiling.

                                                              I am so sorry to be so late on this. Sarita, I’m so sorry. It’s so difficult when something like this happens so fast and unexpectedly. I hope the necropsy offers some sort of answers for you, but I know sometimes they can create more questions too — like you though, I always like to know more if possible. But one thing that is known for sure is how lucky Pepe was – to have a wonderful life loved by you.
