Sorry to be a new poster and dive right in with this however I just really needed to speak (type) to other people regarding this.
We have had Gizmo for a year and three months and she was three months old when we got her.. she has been amazing (not one for being held) she would snuggle up on the sofa or on the rug for hours on end being tickled and affectionately licking us back.. she lived with me and my girlfriend and was a indoor (flat) rabbit.
she had cases of a bad stomach in the past one time we took her to the vet he gave us some medicine and that seemed to work, then another time we used bio-lapsis and that was fine... however on Tuesday afternoon she was bad again and we found very cow pat like faeces in her cage and she didnt want to move far.
I gave her the bio-lapsis and watched over her with lots of strokes and a bit of massaging on the belly.
when I woke up on Wednesday she was dead and it has devastated me and my girlfriend.. we both cant stop crying and both blame ourselves.
I should of taken her to the vets straight away and it eats at me that I didn't.
I just don't know what to do its obviously very fresh and this will get easier but it really is the most heart breaking pain I have ever encountered..
Sorry for rambling I just needed to vent I think.. me and my girlfriend have never had a pet before which is ours and the fact she died so young really did hit home.
Thanks for reading
If anyone has any advice on how to get through it would be great, also if anyone recommends getting another rabbit (not for a while and grief processed of course)
