My sweet baby bunny died :(

[BunniesInTheBreakroom]

 I’m new here and found the sight while looking for support and other bunny related things. I currently have 3 lops. Almost 6 months ago my little baby bunny Scottie died while I was in the hospital giving birth. My husband was driving home every day to care for her and I just don’t understand what happened. When I left to have the baby Scottie seemed perfectly healthy. She always use to sit on my shoulder and lick my face. She was name after my black scottish terrier I had for 14 years growing up. I absolutley ADORE my three lops but they just aren’t as loving and cuddly towards me as Scottie was and NONE of them have ever licked me. I know it happened several months ago but I can’t get over it and seem to be missing her more all the time

I am so sorry for your loss

Binky Free sweet Scottie

I’m so very sorry for you loss. Scottie was obviously well loved.

Bunnies are very good at hiding illnesses so she probably had something going on that you had no way of knowing.

I lost my bunny in September and still miss him every day so I know how you feel.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I can imagine that would be a difficult thing to deal with, losing a beloved pet during an otherwise joyous time. Do you feel like you haven’t dealt with his loss? Maybe things are starting to “normalize” for you now, months after the birth of the baby, and you need to take a time out to grieve.

Each animal is special in their own way, and the loss of any of them leaves a big hole in your heart. I hope things get better for you as time goes on.

Binky free, Scottie!!!

I’m so sorry for your loss of Scottie. It probably makes it harder that it happened while you weren’t there, so you can’t really grasp what happened and picture him ill at all. Sudden illness with a bunny is very common. You must be in total caretaker mode now with a new baby. You have to cope with this really big change, and one of your staples at home, your special Scottie, is suddenly gone. It’s a lot of change to adjust to. Perhaps your husband can fill you in on more details. He might have been trying to spare you, but sometimes facts help.
Hug your baby and lops and know that Scottie will always have his own special place in your heart.

Yes, I was very sad to learn that she died but was so happy about the new baby it was hard to see the emptiness at the same time. Hard to explain but all my husband told me was that she died and now that I am in a routine with the new bunnies and the baby I am realizing I never really grieved but only tried to avoid thinking about Scottie..
Terrible of me I know but my emotions were so confused
I am going to post about how I adopted my oldest lop (8 months) in another section. I am really trying to bond with her but she has had a very bad past.
