Opal is 8 years old. She has been in consistently good health throughout her years with us, expect for one small ear infection for which she was treated at a qualified vet. For about 3 days, I have noticed that she's barely touched (if at all) her pellets or hay. When I get up each morning, she usually comes and gets a piece of walnut from me, but this morning she wasn't interested in that, either. I wonder if she's choosing not to eat because it's her time to go. I hesitate to make this an emergency, if it's just her time to die, especially since our family doesn't have much money right now, and a trip to the bunny vet would be difficult. On the other hand, we love Opal and don't want her to die of something that can be simply remedied. I believe she is still drinking water. What have been your observations about bunny deaths? -- 8 years seems to be an average life length for a pet bunny -- Thanks.
