Flopsy
Well-Known Member
Flopsy was put to sleep at 9:00 today.I've been crying all day long. A couple of weeks ago my momwas bringing him out to the hutch and he jumped out of the bucket hewas in and hurt his leg. On wednesday the 12th: He keptdragging his left leg and his left side of his face looked like he hada stroke, kinda like head tilt, but not. My mom brought him to the vetThurs and he said he slipped a disk. He also told us to put him in asmaller cage so that his movement was restricted and it looked like hewould recover. He was also on two kinds of medication. Hesbeen all alert and eatting, he seemed normal.
I didn't get to check on him Fri cause I had a track meet but yesturdayhe didn't look to good, so I sat on a porch swing with him for to hoursand we both feel asleep. Then after I put him into back intothe little cage he tripped and he flipped onto his back and twistedfunny, his stomach was gurgling bad. After that we tried toget a hole of the vet, but since it was Saturday no one was there. Then later I went to check on him and he was trying to get to his waterbut he couldn't lift his head to get it, so I lowered it for him andhe drank it. Then I set it back up and he was fineagain. This morning my mom came into my room and told me thatshe didn't think Flopsy was going to make it. I randownstairs and he was flopped on his side. When he saw me he tried toget up but his legs wouldn't work. So he just lifted hishead. His stomach was gurgaling and I kept trying to get himto drink water with a eye dropper and frist he would drink it buteventally he just stopped trying to swallow and it came back out of hismouth, he kept trying to get up and couldn't so I told my mom to puthim down. I couldn't see my baby suffer. We calleda vet clinic thats open on holidays and weekends and nights. Theydidn't do rabbits, so he couldn't be saved, but they would put himdown. We brought Fluffy in to see him one last time andFlopsy tried to get up.
He laid in my lap the entire car ride and kept stroking him how heliked it. When we got there my family went inside and I satdown on a bench they had outside and told him about the day I first gothim and how much I loved him, and how much he would like the rainbowbridge. Then I brought him inside and I stayed with him when they puthim down. They try to find a good vein, but he was sodehydrated when they tried his back leg he jerked because it hurt andit didn't work. Then they did his front right leg and I keptstroking him and I told him I loved him and that I couldn't wait to seehim again and then goodbye your my best friend Flops... he looked at meand then his chest stopped rising and falling and I knew he wasgone. I stayed in that room 30mins after he took his lastbreath stroking him talking to him. I whispered "no moremalcusion, no more matts, no more pain. Just meadows andclouds, hurdles. We will meet again someday"
My family walked into the room and my mom asked me when they were goingto put him down and I was like he's dead. And they all cried with me.Then one of the employes told me I had to leave cause they needed theroom So I kissed him one last time and we left. He was left on hisside and I stood his right ear up just how it was when I first sawhim. I decided to get him cremated and that Iwanted his ashes back. I really really am hoping that I gethis ashes, cuase the thought of him being mixed with others justjust... well ok
Sorry for all of the errors I just don't feel like checking over them.
I miss my baby so much and I know that I will never have a rabbit likehim. Good bye now thanks for reading. My heart hurts so bad. I've neverloved anything as much as him.
