I was hoping it’d be years before I’d post a topic here. I had hoped I’d have so much more time with my precious bunny before I would post here.
July 8th 2014 my precious Oreo passed away much too soon.
—-
As some of you know, Oreo was treats for a UTI a week ago. Her UTI popped out of nowhere but I figure it had to do with her previous bedding. I changed her bedding from shavings to pine pellets and she seemed fine with them. Oreo was slowly recovering. She was eating and drinking and playing like normal Sunday and Monday morning-early evening. Monday early evening I was playing on my iPad while Oreo ran around my room like usual and we played like usual. She jumped all over me and laid by my side from time to time before running off to play somewhere else. It was normal.
Then around 9:30 I think she started having weird poops and lots of it. I was so confused. They were kinda normal but gooey too. Cleaned it up, looked at it and tried to google what it could mean. Didn’t find much. So I just gave her more hay and water and watched her. It went downhill fast. An hour later she started having diarrhea and it would come and go until sometime after midnight. I stayed up with her almost the entire night. I watched her get weaker and weaker. I did what I knew to do and talked to her and all. I did all I could and researched in between. But she stopped eating and drinking, no matter what I tried.
However, she seemed to get better around 2 ish and finally ate hay and drank some water. She groomed a little even. So I got a little sleep, thinking she was getting better and gonna be okay. But when I woke up not long after to her worse than ever. I tried what I could again but an hour later, Oreo was dead.
I got Oreo for Christmas ’13 and had her just under seven months. My baby got taken away from me much too soon…
I miss her so much….I can’t even describe it. She was my world. Oreo was my baby. She helped me through so much and I needed her as much as she needed me if not more.
I wish I had more time with her….
I had so many plans this year for her. I wanna make her this great condo and get a x pen for her too. I was gonna try out homemade bunny treats and make her lots of more toys. I pictured having her for eight years at least.
Oreo wasn’t even 2 years old yet <\\\\3
I keep hoping this will just be a nightmare that I’ll wake up from and I’ll see her begging for food first thing in the morning..
R.I.P Oreo.
I love you so much that it hurts…. I miss you very much baby girl…
I can barely see the keyboard Missy, my eyes are all welled up in tears for you and your precious Oreo. I am SO sorry! And gosh, I’m sick in my tummy feeling your pain. As always, I want to say something to make it all better – but I can’t. Again, I am so sorry, and yes – it’s so ‘unfair’!
I am thinking of you at this very sad time, and will light a candle for Oreo when darkness falls upon us here . Take care Missy….
Oh Missy, I am so sorry. My eyes too welled up. It’s horrible enough when a loved bun passes, but when they go young and unexpectedly, it shatters your heart. I know there is nothing we can say to make it better, but just know we are here for you during this hard time. Hugs, I have lit a virtual candle for Oreo. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=Oreo
Missy, my heart goes out to you and your family. I usually don’t cry easily, but seeing this made my eyes well up with tears. I’m sure you were a great bunny parent and did all you could for Oreo, and I am sure she thanks you for that. Know that we are always here for you *hugs* take care Missy. <3
((((Binky free sweet Oreo))))
Oh this is heartbreaking. I’m crying just reading it. I’m sorry Missy. Know that she was a loved bunny, that brought something better to your life.
(((((Binky free Oreo.))))))
Thank you everyone very much. You guys are very kind.
Didn’t mean to make anyone else cry though :c
Just needed to post this.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you.
I’m very sorry for you loss. It is very hard when they go so quickly and unexpectedly. Someday eventually, the pain will ease some and you’ll be able to remember the good times you’ve shared.
I’m sure Oreo loved you, and would want you to be at peace of mind knowing she’s in a better place with no pain or suffering.
Maybe if you click on LongEaredLions link, you could light a virtual candle for your baby girl, it might bring some comfort to you.
(((((Binky Free Oreo))))) <3
I joined in LEL’s virtual candle too MM – bugga, now I’m crying again….
See Missy – your Oreo is very special to us all!
PS – And a beautiful idea LEL…..
I’m so sorry about Oreo, Missy.
We know that an issue with their GI tract can take them fast, but it’s really awful when it actually happens.
You loved her very much, she knew it, and you were with her all evening. Her short life was a happy one.
So sorry about your bunny. It’s just too sad when go so young. Binky free Oreo . . .
Thank you everyone.
I did light a candle and it helped. Thanks LEL for that!
I appreciate all that y’all have done in giving advice and even now with your words of comfort.
I’ll try to stick around once I can fully handle being here again.
Such a short life for such a sweet little bunny. I’m so sorry. It’s really hard when it happens suddenly like that. Don’t blame yourself though. You did all that you could and I’m sure she knew you loved her.
Binky Free, Oreo.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my bun, Oreo, this day last year.
