I guess I am going to have to redo the pic underneath my signature.... First Casey, then Velvet and now......my bunny Robbie died at 7:40 a.m. this morning....

Back in January he had gotten thin and wouldn't eat anything but Cherrios, so the vet did a blood panel which showed his white cell count was low. At my insistence it was repeated and the count was still low. Then the vet found an abcess on his cheek...his funny face was so fluffy I never noticed it..... Then at another visit the vet found a molar spur that caused the abcess...he got quite a bit better and I had decided the abcess was the cause of the low white cell count and that all was fine....but he never did gain much weight and on Sunday I noticed he wasn't to quick in moving around and by yesterday at noon I knew I had a serious problem when he let me hold him all day and evening.... He rallied a bit and I went ot bed thinking he would be fine but this morning...well, it was like he hung on just to say good bye...he died about 10 minutes after I got him out of his cage.

Right now I feel like the stuffing has been knocked out of me.. He was only 3 years old and I'm wondering if I had been less active at the sanctuary if I might have noticed earlier that he wasn't well... I know he had a good life with me...but I do feel so guilty, like I let him down.... I just want to go home and go to bed.
