Unexpected death

[Bun<3]

I haven’t posted on here before but just need someone to understand how upset I am right now. Unless you have loved a bunny with all your heart I don’t think you can understand the pain of loss.

My Bun went to the vet yesterday to have a molar spurr filed. She seemed her happy, healthy self when she left and although I was worried about her I didn’t think anything bad would happen. I had a call from my partner at work to tell me that she had passed away. They gave her anaesthesia and her heart stopped. They managed to get a beat back but it was too late and they couldn’t revive her.

I’m beyond upset, she has only just turned 4 and my world revolved around her, She was my furry soul mate.

We also have adopted another bun and they only had 5 months together. They were so close and now he is wandering around the house looking scared and lost.

I haven’t stopped crying since yesterday and can’t believe my baby has been taken from me over what is meant to be a routine procedure.

I don’t know how to cope with this.

I am so sorry for your loss. We know very well she wasn’t “just” a rabbit, but was a treasured family member. It is my understanding that anesthesia can be a tricky thing for bunnies. We often have little choice in having them go under though for procedures. I am saddened that this happened. I am sure since she seemed healthy that this came as an extra shock. Thank you for providing a loving home for her which she might not have had otherwise. I hope with time the pain will ease and you can remember the good moments. Be good to yourself and give lots of head rubs to your other bun!

This is so upsetting it is what my bunny Jasper died from in January, he was having op to remove his testicles and his heart stopped under anaseic, my world fell apart and I never thought I’d cope, its was so sudden that’s the worst thing, I now have a new bunny but I still miss jasper everyday. Its awful I’m upset for your loss too. Very sad x

Thank you for your understanding. I agree, I feel like my life has fallen apart and my house does not feel like a home anymore. I dreaded this day but thought I would still have her for a few more years ? just crazy how one day can change your life.

Thank you. Even though it is very difficult for us at the moment we have contacted the shelter to get our remaining rabbit a new friend. It’s too sad seeing him on his own. He keeps sitting in the corner looking scared now.

I saw a picture of your Jasper… And he looks so similar to my Bun my mouth dropped!

I’m late in responding. Sorry for that. It is a tremendous emotional impact when they leave us. Even if it’s gradual or sudden. The finality of them being gone is hard to put into words. I hope you are coping well. Wishing you a successful and easy bonding process between the new rabbit and your current one.

It’s been just over 2 weeks now but it feels like a lifetime. I feel like I’m stuck thinking about he day Bun passed away. My heart drops every morning when I wake up and remember that she’s not here anymore. I am utterly heartbroken.

We have been to the shelter twice since to look at bunnies. The first time they didn’t have any single females. We went again yesterday and saw a rabbit and she reminded me a bit of my Bun (a bit of a princess) without actually looking like her. She was so sweet and I instantly felt a connection with her. I was told to email to reserve her, which I did after the visit.

I got an email today to say that someone has already expressed an interest.
It is a shame but it has got me so much harder as things are so difficult at the moment already.

I feel that life is laughing at me at the moment.

First my Bun is taken from me, with no explanation or warning. She was my baby.

Then we got her ashes back last Friday and they spelled her name wrong on the urn.

Then this.

Everyday feels like a struggle at the moment. All I want is to hear her feet scuttle into the room behind me.

It’s just so unfair.

I feel your pain. Lost my baby just last week. I visit her grave daily, say good morning, how much I miss her. It IS unfair, that we get the loves of our lives for so little time.

Some moments I feel like I can’t take another breath it hurts so badly. But…I have other that rely on me, and somewhere out there is another bun I can give another good life to for whatever time they have left. So that’s what I’m going to do. Eventually.

[Gordo and Janice]

Unfair is an understatement. But I totally agree. 2 weeks isn’t that long from when she passed. Still very fresh I’m sure and those little things that aren’t happening as they should can easily exacerbate the pain and wrongfulness of everything. I don’t know when it began to get better for me. Can’t pinpoint it. But at some point there was the realization that it wasn’t as bad. But of course I still miss our little girl all the time. Keep on moving forward. You’ll get there. There is that saying that when it rains it pours. The clouds will break at some point. Keep giving your other bunny love and attention and keep working on finding him another partner. Things will begin to straighten out in time. Time…that word…that thing…it’s unfortunately the most important part of healing and never seems fast enough. My thoughts are with you. Vent here all you want. Everyone here knows how earth shattering it is to lose our most precious little bunnies regardless of the circumstances.
