I think it’s about that time…

[Miyuki]

I don’t know why for some yet unknown reason she’s still doing the hiccup/twitching thing (not sure it really was hiccups).  She was eating but didn’t poo for a while last night so I was really concerned that she was getting GI Stasis or something.  When I woke up this morning though she was sitting in a poo landmine.  They are a bit smaller though so there might still be something wrong.  She has eaten a little bit less but I would think the poos would be the normal size just less.  Not slightly smaller ones.

Anyways, I’m drifting off topic.  I’m going to walk her into the vet tomorrow (all the rabbits vets are off today… strange) but I’m going to guess it is neurological and there is nothing left we can do.  She’s eating and still running around but it isn’t normal to be twitching.  Hopefully I’ll get to video chat with my sister tonight.  She is away at school and she only gets to see our rabbit the brief periods of time she is at home.  She won’t be back for another month.

I really hate having to be the one to decide when the end is…

Oh Miyuki! Hugs to you. You are doing the right thing for Inkblot and putting her first and that’s the kindest think you can do for her. At least you will have the rest of the day and tonight with her instead of having to make a quick decision you may feel you will regret later.

I think though too that the vets will be honest with you too and support whatever decision you make.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you Miyuki, it’s so hard to be in that position. Inkblot’s in the best of hands and knows she’s greatly loved. I’ll be thinking of you two.

What a tough situation to be in. I’m sorry to hear about Inkblot’s recent challenges. It’s always hard to know exactly what is going on in their little bodies. I hope you find some sense of comfort after seeing the vet and hearing what they have to say.

It is soo tough to be the one making the decisions. Even if it’s the right decision, we still question if we are doing the right thing.

Hugs to you and Inkblot- she is one LOVED bunny, that’s for sure!

Aw I am so sorry to hear that!    It is such a hard decision.  I agree with Sarita that at least you have some time to spend with your bun.  When we had to put ours down I wished I could have spent a little more time with him, espcially since he was living my parents at the time.  Inkblot has gone through so much and is so lucky to have you!  Some buns like her wouldn’t have been so lucky to have such a kind person to take care of them so much.  Listen to your heart, you’ll make the right decision.  ((hugs))

I am so sorry…. hard spot to be in….  I know you will do the right thing….sorry the time may be here already for Inkblot to go to the bridge to await your time together once again.

You both are doing a good job together.  I know Inkblot understands and will be ok with your decision….  You know maybe Inkblot will be looking forward to this when the time has come…. Knowing that there will be no more pain and difficulties…. that he will be waiing for you … and you will see each other again in better circumstances….

I know you aren’t looking forward to this…. It hurts… there are tears and grieving and self doubts… you will both get through this…

thats why BB is here to help people…and listen and care about each other and all our buns too.

I’m so sorry…I know it’s such a hard decision to make! **Hugs**

I’m sorry to hear she’s declining further. You will make the right decision for her. I’ll keep you guys in my thoughts. Let us know…

(((((((((((((((Inkblot!)))))))))))))

I’m sorry to hear about Inkblot, I know this must be a very tough time for you. I know that you have Inkblot’s best interest in mind, I’m just so sorry that you have to make such a difficult decision. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Inkblot.

[TARM]

I’m so sorry. It’s never easy to make this choice. Putting Inkblot’s well-being before your own pain shows how much you love her.

[flippersmom]

Oh Miyuki…I’m so sorry. Please know that I think about you and Inkblot often as I credit the 2 of you for getting me actually posting on here and finding all these wonderful bunny people!!!!! Please know that to be able to end her pain is the greatest thing you can do for her, even though it creates pain for you!!! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!!

[bigsis7]

I’m so sorry you’ve had to make this desicion. I’ve never had to make this desicion, but I know that I’ll have to someday. *hugs to you*

[babybunsmum]

watching a slow decline is just terrible – i know. big hugs to you & inkblot.

[Kokaneeandkahlua]

I’m sorry to hear that. Its a hard decision to make because you are trying to make it for a living being who can’t tell you what they want. But you can look at the behavior and symptoms to help guide you. If your stomach is telling you it’s time it probably is. *HUGS*

[TARM]

I personally would rather do it slightly too soon than wait slightly too long and know that she suffered longer than she had to. That’s just me though. When I think about the people I’ve known who didn’t beat cancer and how they said they wished they could make the end come sooner than it did…that does it for me every time I have to make a choice like this.

[Miyuki]

I think she knows that we’re going to vet -_-. Nope not gonna let you put the ointment in my eye today nope nope *wiggle wiggle wiggle* *chews towel*.

We know that we’ll have to put her down eventually. Whether that is sooner than later I don’t know. She’s going in the for the hiccups today. We’ll see what the doctor says and then work from there… That’ll determine if it is now or not that it happens. At least it doesn’t seem like she’s experiencing pain but that could just be masked by the Metacam. I definitely think she’s got some kind of GI issue going on.

Gotta get a move on it in about an hour. Hopefully the vet doesn’t have too many badly behaved dogs in the waiting room while I’m waiting around (I will be walking in with no appointment).

Thanks for all the support!  I was in a way more sad state when I made the original post.  Not so bad today.  For me it is harder to watch a slow decline and worrying when the right time is.
