        So I haven’t been very active in this forum in a little over a month, truth is, I’ve been kind of heartbroken.

        We had to put Kit to sleep because of an internal parasite that started to attack his nervous system. He went downhill so suddenly, and the day we took him to the emergency hospital he had lost all movement and feeling in his two front legs.

        Taking him to the hospital that day was horrible to witness, he couldn’t move, and was in a state of shock on top of all of his movement limatations. On a normal day, he hated being picked up for more than a few seconds. I felt so upset, and my fiance was even more broken up than I was. I didn’t want to make the final decision, but after exhausting almost every option, there was nothing more I could do(besides a few blood tests and a cranial scan, which ran about $250 each). I still feel guilty for not whipping out my credit card and trying something else. 

         

        So in a nutshell. I just didn’t feel like talking about it for a while.

         

        know I did what I could and gave Kit the best life he could have had while he was with me. I shouldn’t have supported a shoddy petshop and puchased him out of feeling sorry– but I don’t regret having him. I loved the little guy, and am trying to keep my hopes up.

         

        I missed everyone here at BB!

              aw bb, I’ve wondered where you were too, I’m so very sorry to hear about Kit. He knows you did everything you could for him.

                  I felt that way about Laith too. Could I have done more.  Almost a year later I can finally talk about it and I put him up on the post for our beloved departed babies.

                  Even if you would have whipped out that credit card. I dont’ know that it would have done anygood to solving his problem.  The chances were slim that it would have helped him if it even would have helped him. Highly doubtful.

                  You are still greiving and mourning over you little baby.  It gets better. Somewhat.

                          That wa so hard to go through, but you did all you could and made the best judgements you had. Kit isn’t suffering now.

                          It was a year ago that Spockie died on Dec. 5th, a few days ago, and despite having a new adorable little one, I still miss him a lot.

                            I am so shocked to hear of this news. So, so sorry for you, your fiance and Honey.  Kit was a unique little fella, I’m saddened to hear his health declined so rapidly.  You gave him peace by making that enormously hard decision. 

                            You weren’t supporting that pet store, you rescued a baby rabbit that was in an aquariam (from memory).  Thank you for sharing his gorgeousness here with us at BB.

                                Think of the horrible life that poor little Kit would have had if he’d been left in that pet store, and compare that to the wonderful life that you were able to give him. I’m sure he was grateful for everything that you did for him and the loving home he had, and that he loved you will all his little bunny heart.

                                You were a good bunnymom.

                                  Oh bunnyballet, I am so, so sorry to hear about Kit. I had wondered why we hadn’t seen much of you here lately. Thank you for having taken such good care of the little guy, and for being able to give that last act of love for his sake. I am sure he is looking down upon you from the Rainbow Bridge and smiling, knowing he will see you again.
                                  Big hugs for you both and Honey. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

                                  Binky free, Kit! Bless you, little one!

                                      I’m so sorry to hear about Kit. Don’t feel guilty, if Kit’s health went downhill so quickly, it is very unlikely that those other options could have helped him all that much, and it would have probably just made him more scared. You gave him a great life, and hopefully one day his memory can live on through another little bunny that needs your help

                                        I’m very sorry for the loss of your beautiful bunny. I know how difficult the loss of a beloved bunny is. We all know how you feel here and are here for you.

                                          I’m so sorry Last year I had a guinea pig, Mr. Bojangles, who unexpectedly had to be put down by a family member while I was in India. I feel for your loss.
