It has been a while since Cupcake died, but reading some of the posts on Rainbow Bridge started me remembering her.
Cupcake was only about four years old. I got her and her bonded partner Muffin from a woman who was moving and couldn’t take them with her. She loved both of them to death, and cried when I arrived to take them. A few months after I brought them home, I noticed that Cupcake was breathing really fast and not eating. Not knowing much about rabbits at the time, I waited a day or two, trying to feed her and get her to drink. My grandparents were in town, and i took them to see the shelter where I volunteered. I told one of the managers about Cupcake, hoping she could tell me what was wrong. She asked that I bring her in. I brought her, and there happened to be a vet there. Everyone was confused about what was happening, even the vet. I was given fluids, critical care and warmers, and told to keep her warm and giver her the fluids and critical care. She fought hard against the fluids. On Sunday, I went down to breakfast with my family, and when I came up again, She was stretched out, dead. It turned out that she had cancer, I suspect because she wasn’t spayed. I didn’t want to do an autopsy. In fact I was planning to get her spayed right before she died, and the vet had said he felt a lump on her uterus. he said it could be removed with the spay, as long as it hadn’t gotten too far along. Apparently it had. Anyway, i just started thinking about her, and thought I would post her story. I love you Cupcake!
