Another of my bunnies died

[Heather Wallace]

As you know Ebony died during her spaying op, today I went to feed Gem, my new bun, and I found her lying on her side in her hutch. Her head was tilted back and she couldn't move properly, although she was still alive at this point in time. I rushed her to the vets but she died in my arms on the way there. I don't know why this happened but I had noticed from day one that she was very sleepy. Last night she lay with her little head on me, so I knew then something was up, but I had no idea she would die so quickly. I think Gem was sick from day one.

I just can't believe that she died aged 9 weeks old. I feel as though I am living in a dream at the moment.

Oh Heather, I am so very sorry to hear that , this is so sad. Poor Gem.

[Karen]

Poor Heather, poor Gem. From now on, I recommend you take any new bun to the vet as soon as you get him or her. Mayne you did, but this is so sad. I hope she didn't have anything contagious - would your vet check her poor little body?

Our prayers are with you.

[Heather Wallace]

They could give her a post mortame but it is expensive. i didn't want her to go through a think like that anyway.

Yes I was also going to take her to the vets next week for her check up and vaccinations etc.

Oh my God, this is so unfair... I'm so sorry

{{{Heather, Gem}}},

So sorry about all this pain you are going through. Sometimes life does seem so overwhelming. Any chance you can sit down face-to-face with a friend and TALK? That's something that usually helps me, perhaps it will help you, too. Be gentle with yourself right now, ok?

I'm very sorry about your loss. I know you must be very distraught at this point in time, but I also think you should check to make sure your other buns are not at risk of catching any possible contagions.

Focus on giving your love to your wonderful buns. I know you have a big, kind heart:-)

Heather so sorry to hear about Gem. My thoughts are with you...

[Logan]

Oh, Heather, my heart is just breaking for you. I am so sorry about your precious Gem. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have endured too much in recent weeks.

[Heather Wallace]

Thanks again everyone.

History certainly does repeat itself. I feel a bit stupid telling you all again about little Gem, you all must be fed up with me by now.

I hope to have my pictures of her back soon so I can show you all what she looked like, and how pretty she was.

I also through out the hutch that Gem was living in, couldn't stand to look at it any longer.
