I lost my Honey Bunny

[Bunnykins2016]

 

I have had my gorgeous ‘Honey Bunny’ for 5 1/2 years, she was always an inside rabbit and we snuggled on the couch everynight while I watched tv. She was such a beautiful bunny, so sweet with an amazing personality. She always seemed to know when I was upset and needed some cheering up.  She helped me through my divorce and on days when I was particuarly sad she would snuggle up to me more or run over and just be by my side as if to remind me I always still had her even when everything was falling apart.

I loved her so much more than as a ‘pet’ she was part of my family. Part of me. She started to develop signs of arthritis about a year ago and it has slowly gotten worse since. She still played with her toys and binkyed all the time so at least I knew she was still happy even if at times she was slightly uncomfortable.One night she stopped eating and drinking much and would just lay there uncomfortably. I rang the vet the next morning and took her in straight away and they kept her all day giving her fluids and medications. She has gut stasis. She came home with me that evening with a large variety of medications and food for me to feed her through a syringe. We did all we could for her that evening and she seemed to slightly pick up a bit. I was hopeful that my darling bun would recover. The next morning very early (I couldn’t sleep as I was sick with worry) I went to check on her and she had gotten much worse. She could harly move. She was weak in her arms and legs and it was devesating to watch her attemt to move around.

I picked her up in my arms gave her cuddles for a few hours untill my vet opened, we rushed her straight there. She had deteriorated so much over the last 12 hours there wasn’t really anything the vet could do. They offered to try to give her more fluids and medications but I could see in her eyes how much she was hurting. They only offered this to make me feel better, they knew nothing more could be done.

It was decided that the most kind thing to do would be to put her to sleep. It was the hardest choice I have had to make, but I knew it was right for Honey Bunny. She has lived a very spoilt life (very much a princess) and has been so greatly loved by everyone in my household.

Now that she is gone I feel so lost, I don’t know what to do without her. She is not there to greet me when I come home, I am left feeling empty. Like a part of me has died along with her.

I have never had a pet before bunny and I don’t know what to do next. I would love if anyone can give me some advice as to how to deal with my hurt.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it’s like to loose a bunny and it is really hard. We can all really tell that you gave her such a great life. Just know that everything is for a reason. Just try and focus on all the good things you have in life
God bless

I’m so very sorry about the loss of your bunny. They do indeed become part of the family. They are not just pets, they are family and friends. And we mourn them as family. She was obviously very well loved and had a wonderful life with you.

Im so so sorry to hear about this! I lost my Bambam a few months ago and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through. Printing photos of her will help, I also buried Bambam in the corner of my garden and planted some daises there as Bambam would always eat the yellow flowers on the grass when I took him for a hop. Time will heal your pain, but in the mean time i recommend the photos and a little project to keep you occupied.

I am so sorry for your loss. My precious 9 month old boy died 2 weeks ago tomorrow very suddenly and also of stasis. I know what you are going through. It’s just awful. I am now starting to take comfort in the fact that I gave him a most loving home and wonderful life even though it was cut short. You loved your girl so much, that’s obvious in your writing. Cry it out, get angry, smile at her memory…you will get through this. Xoxoxox
