Monty

[Sonn]

My grumpy fur baby has passed away. 

I know most people would have ran with him back to the shelter once they realized just how aggressive he was but I kind of loved that about him. Sure I got some nasty scars and was even temporarily blinded by him but I would not have changed anything about him. 

The vet has no idea why he passed. He was completely fine early yesterday and then he wasn’t. She told me that they were changing his fluids and he just fell over and that was it. 

I am still a bit in shock and not completely grasping the fact that he will not be coming home alive. 

I pretty much feel like a failed bunny parent. I have lost 5 rabbits in not even a year. Monty was about to turn 1 in 2 months. I don’t know if I am just getting the raw end of the deal or if I am doing something terribly wrong with their care.

A necropsy has been requested to see if some kind of answer can be given.

Oh Sonn….. I don’t believe it? I am absolutely distraught for you – I am SO sorry! Sharing in your tears of sadness……
I hope you know how much WE are all going to miss your precious Monty. Thank you for loving him – what an awesome bunny mum you are, don’t ever forget that. Missing you Monty…..

I just posted to your other thread, Sonn.
Don’t you believe for one minute that it is you. In the whole time I’ve known you here at BB, you have impressed me as the most caring, compassionate and knowledgeable person when it comes, not just to bunnies, but other animals as well. You fought hard for Monty. As you said, others may have run away screaming but you did not. You took care of him…GOOD care, GREAT care. He was loved and that was the most important medicine you could’ve given him. (((((Hugs)))))
Some of these little guys just come to us for a short while. They take what they need from us, they give us so much in return, and then they are gone, but not really. He will always be there in your heart, nothing can change that.

I want to say how sorry I am again. I lit a candle for him:

He made a huge impression on all of us here. He was a wonderful wee bun, with all his baggage…he was so special…a real character. And I am going to miss hearing about him.
Bless you, be kind to yourself. Monty would want that.

Sweet dreams at the Rainbow, Monty. You will never be forgotten. xxxx

I am so sorry Sonn. Crying my eyes out for little Monty. Don’t think for a minute that you are a bad bunny parent. You kept this little guy, took care of him, and loved him when there likely was no one else who would put ip with his antics. We all loved him and love you for being such a good bunny parent to him and sharing him with us.

Something in my heart says that he knew he wouldn’t be here long and his grumpiness was his way of saying “Don’t love me too much because you’ll hurt when I’m gone.” Well too bad little Monty, we all love you and will miss you terribly. I will still steal you any day.

Hugs on there way to you Sonn and sharing in your tears.

Binky free fuzzy boy. Binky free Monty . …

((((Binky Free Monty))))
So sorry to hear this!! I think you did a great thing taking him in, not everybody would be able to take a furry like him and give him a good home. Hugs!

He found a loving home with you, so even though his time was short it was improved by being loved.
Sometimes losses come in droves, and there is little –if anything– that we can do but bear it. Cherish the family that is still with you, and know that you loved best you could the ones that are no longer with you. No matter how they chose to repay it, whether with nuzzles or bunny-butts, the buns you’ve loved must have known they were loved.. and nothing can compare with that in value in life.

Binky free, Monty. You were (and are) loved.

Im so sorry to hear this my heart breaks for everyone that has lost a loved pet. You sound like a wonderful bunny mom and Monty was lucky to have you, to have someone stick by his side instead of giving up on him. Hes now another bunny guardian angel you have with you always

[JPetrucci84]

I’m so sorry for your loss! May be rest in peace, and know he was loved by all.

[LBJ10]

This is so sad and my heart aches. When I think of all the loss you have endured Sonn, it just doesn’t seem fair. You loved Monty, when no one else would. That is what matters. Don’t think for one minute that you are a bad bunny parent. You made his grumpy little life better and that is all you could have really done.

[LongEaredLions]

Sonn… My heart stopped when I saw this….. I am sobbing.
BB is a place for great bunny owners, and spoiled bunnies. But yet, even in a place like this some people stick out to me as being exceptional. One of those people for me is you. You are one of the kindest, most caring, compassionate people I know, but yet you endure the greatest loss? It all seems so unfair.
Thank you for loving him, for loving him right. For understanding his needs, for taking him in when no one else would. For sticking beside him until the end; I thank you. And know Monty does too. He was such a darling, and I know I learned a lot from hearing about him, about all of your bunnies. Thank you for sharing him with us. He will be deeply missed. ((((Binky free Monty))))

Binky Free Monty… Don’t blame yourself Sonn, my Blossom passed suddenly a while ago. She was always a bit grumpy and had little problems which makes me think she was only ever meant to be on the earth for a short time. It is most likely the same for Monty.
Thankfully he had a wonderful loving home for that time because of you.

[Sarita]

Oh hugs Sonn. Monty was so lucky that he had you in his life. Not many grumpy bunnies get the chance he did.

[MoxieMeadows]

I am so sorry to hear this. I was totally expecting him to pull through!
You couldn’t have been a better bunny mom to him. Sending (((Vibes))) to you. <3

((((Binky free Monty))))

[Sindri]

Sonn you were a very good bunny parent you had lots of patience and caring with him. He was very lucky to have you as his owner.

Binky free Monty you will be missed.

[MissGabbster]

I’m heartbroken for you, Sonn. You’ve endured so much but never think it was your fault. You really are a wonderful caring person and you have given all of your buns the best care possible and they knew that, even if they didn’t showed it in the traditional way. Many people would have given up on Monty because of his aggression but you never did and never would. You accepted him the way he was and that’s special. He will so incredibly missed by every one.

Binky free, Monty~

[Sonn]

Thank you everyone. I am still a bit overwhelmed but have to keep it together since I have classes and my other pets to care for.

The current findings of the necropsy show that he had some fluid around his heart and a pinhole size perforation of his stomach but it is still ongoing and tissue samples have been collected.

[LittlePuffyTail]

I’m so very sorry, Sonn. (((Big Hugs))))

You are an amazing bunny Mom so don’t ever doubt yourself. Maybe all these bunnies were meant to find you because they needed someone to love them for the short while they were here.

((((Binky Free Monty))))

[Diamond]

Lots of hugs You’ve been so unlucky with these rabbits, but they were all very lucky to have you.

[Monkeybun]

Oh Sonn, I am so so so sorry to hear this You have had your heart broken so many times this past year Do not think for one second it is you, you have been an amazing bunny mum, taking on buns with attitude, buns with health problems, buns with far too much personality to be legal. They all loved you, never forget that! <3

[Sonn]

Thank you again everyone. I am glad to have the support system of this forum. All of you have a very special piece in my life.

I brought Monty’s body home today to be buried under one of my favorite trees.

[MimzMum]

Thinking of you today and sending (((((Huge hugs))))) xx

[JackRabbit]

I know that will be hard. Sending more hugs to you.

RIP Monty, you’re home.

[Sonn]

He was buried under one of my royal empress trees. And like all of my other rainbow bridge babies a specially engraved plaque will be here soon to mark where he is.

[MoxieMeadows]

Thinking of you today.

[LongEaredLions]

Sounds perfect Sonn. Sending more hugs to you today. <3
