As Sit here typing to you all tears are runningdown my face, my nose has gone red and my lips are swollen, my eyes arepuffy and my head hurts from all my crying.
Millie has been the best rabbit I have ever had, and some of you mayremember thatI told you all thatmy littlenetherland dwarf had died, even though it wasent the kindest of rabbitsI still loved her to bits. I origionly had two and the First died atthe age of four from fly Strike (she was called pansy), and 5 yearslater our other rabbit flopsy died at the age of 8inaugust2006 as some of you may remember me tellingyou about. You probebly all remember me talking to you about me wantinganother one because it felt empty with a family member gone. Ieventually managed to get two rabbits from 'sue's rabbit rescue' theywere only 7 weeks old and they were tiny. A few months went onandI decided that these were my perfect rabbits, they diddentbite,scratch,runaway from you, they would let you stroke them (ourother rabbits would never let us do that), and most importantly theywere happy to see me, and i would sit outside on my knees and play withthem for a long time.
It was a week tommorow wheni noticed a large swelling on Millies leftcheek, I told my dad but we couldent take her to the vets until monday,andI hated that because I dident know what was wrong withher, all I could do was wait.
Monday came and my dad took her to the vets while I was at school, whenhe got back he saidthe vets dident know what it was, and so they gaveus some antibiotics to give her. We gave her it every morning and everynight, and when it got to friday(today) my dad had to take her back fora check up. I had high hopes for her because she was eating well, andseemed to be her normal perky old self.
When my dad got back from work he broke the news to me. (another tear rolls down my face)
Her back left molars wernt growing through, in fact they were doing theexact opposite - they were growing backwards into her skull, andeventually as she would get older it would kill her, and she would bein alot of pain before she passed away. The vets rung my dad at hiswork to say that they have noticed this when x-raying her, they said itis extreemly rare.
They said it would be best to put her out of her missery and send herto sleep, while she is still sudated, because when she wakes up, shewould be in a huge amount of pain again. My dad found it a difficultchoice to makebut he said it was the right dessision.
Im glad she's out of pain now but I just wish I could have saidgoodbye(another tear rolls down my face), I dident even get to seeher in the morning before she went because I had a dentist apointment.Im so upset that she had to be put down because of a rare and painfulPhenomenon.
I am more sorry For our other rabbit bubbles, heis such a little charecter, and he will be heart broken to wake up inthe morning and his beloved sister has gone. What can I do to help him?I am going to be with him as much as I can but He will be so lonely,however I dont think I can cope with another rabbit, that I will get toknow and to love and then have it Die on me, I just dont think I cancope, but if it means giving bubbles a happy life thenI willhave to reconsider. I would love some help because my head is in such amess I carnt think Straight.
