Today has to be one of the worst days of my life. 
At around 3pm this afternoon, Oreo had another seizure.. this time iwas home by myself when it happened. It was the scariest thing i haveever seen. i was sitting on my floor by her cage watching tv working onsome stuff when i saw her head kind of wobble from side to side.. thenshe flopped over onto her side & kicked her legs, her body shook& she made a crying noise.. so i held her midsection loosely andpetted her, it only lasted about 30 secs if that.. then she got back uphopped to the other side of her cage & just layed there. i satthere & petted her for a couple of hours. in the mean time while iwas petting her, i called my dad, my mom & my grandma as well as myvet (which was an emergency # cause their office had already closed)
my vet called me back about 10 mins or so after i called, and i toldhim what happened & he said that she had the seizure because of herkidneys(she was diagnosed with kidney disease at the beginning of themonth) & i asked him what do i do he told me to keep force feedingher if she wasnt eating on her own & give her the fluid shots likewe have been, only to up the dosage. But he flat out told me on thephone that it didnt look good.. & to bring her in on monday.
So anyway, my mom gets home i told her what happened & then we gaveOreo her upped dosage of fluids as per the instructions of her vet shetook her shot well like a good bunny.. and was just resting in hercage.
Later tonite around 8pm or so.. she got up & went to the other sideof the cage again..where she started to have another seizure i put myhands next to her sides so she wouldn't hurt herself & yelled formy mom. I continued to hold her and pet her and she made the cryingnoise again & my mom came up into my room & started pettingher.. but she just never came out of the seizure. Oreo stopped shaking& my mom was still petting her & she took a couple of deepbreaths & that was it.. she died
I'm so upset.. she was my baby.. i miss her so much already and wishthere was more i could have done to help her.. i feel so helpless andawful that she had to suffer. i also feel horrible that we never reallygot to celebrate her 5th birthday last month because she had a hairball& i had bought her a special treat that i was waiting until she gotbetter to give to her.. i never got to give it to her my momkeeps telling me that we did everything we could for her.. and thatshe's not suffering anymore but i still feel so guilty that i couldnthelp ease her pain or make her feel better.
We took her to a 24 hr emergency vet and they are going to cremate her& put her ashes in a wooden box with a gold clasp.. kind of lookslike a small jewelry box. at least that way i'll always have somethingto remember her by.
i miss my baby she was such a good bunny she didn't deserve to suffer like she did
In loving memory of Oreo 8-19-99 to 9-18-04
i hope wherever Oreo is that she isn't suffering anymore & thatshe's happy, plyaing, and getting plenty of all the treats and food andtoys that she loves. i miss her dearly & she'll always be in aspecial place in my heart.
