Hello everyone. I know it's been a very long time since I posted here, but I really need some comfort right now and I knew this would be the place to go.
Some of you may remember that last May I took in a beautiful little black lop eared bunn that I named Phattie. She was about six years old at the time and very healthy and spry, despite havingbeen left in a cage outdoors with very little attention her entire life. I took her home and gave her a bedroom and lots of love, and she quickly became a bunny who loved to be pet and would run up to me at night for a treat and a snuggle.
A few months ago she started losing her fur. The vet I took her to said it was mites and treated her for it. In the meantime she had been dragging her back feet because her tender skin made it too painful for her to walk, so she lost the use of her back legs. Over the last few weeks I had been trying physical therapy, but with little success.
I was gone over the weekend and my husband said she'd been sleeping in odd places, but since it's been harder for her to get around I didn't think much of it. She ate all of the food he gave her yesterday around lunchtime, and last night I noticed she was acting a bit lethargic, but she honestly didn't seem too out of sorts. This morning I woke up to find that she had passed in the night. I miss her terribly but I believe she went peacefully, and I know she had a great life while I had her.
I have no idea what made her fade so fast. In spite of the troubles she's been having she's still been very spunky and hasn't lost her appetite. Just last night when I lifted her back end with a towel she began hopping around immediately. As I'm sure any of us would I keep thinking there was something I missed, but I'm sure it was just her time.
She was such a wonderful little bunny. I'm going to miss her so much.
