Orion was just put to sleep

[cirrustwi]

I can't thank everyone enough. I'mstill really questioning myself. Tonight, Cedric floppedwhile I was cleaning cages and I almost had a heart attack. Ipulled him out of the cage sobbing and he just looked at me like, whatis your problem? I'm simply a mess about all ofit.

I did have this vet do some initial things to check to see if she couldfind anything without doing anything invasive. (I'm takinghim to my normal vet tomorrow for a second opinion.) She didx-rays and found what she believes is a tumor on his brain. Italked with her and my regular vet and they both feel that it was mostlikely genetic and that he probably had other minor seizures that Inever saw. Everyone feels that Orion had an awful start inlife and there was probably a lot of inbreeding.

He was a rescue from a reptile show from this awful man. Thewhole thing was terrible. The guy didn't even know what wasmixed with the Mini Rex in him, he said it was snow shoe, but I doubtthat. Orion was tiny and too young to be away from mom, but Iknew he would have gone first to be a feeder, so I brought himhome. I'm so glad I was able to give him the months he hadhere.

The rest of the buns are still getting a round of antibiotics (and I'mgoing to talk to my vet about the ferrets and rats to see if they needsomething) just in case. I'm terrified now, and my vet saidit won't hurt. The Flemish aren't on anything at this point,because they do not share the critter room with the others.

Thank you is not enough for everyone.You are my bunny family and your kind words mean the whole world tome. I was so scared when I posted this that someone wouldtell me I was doing terrible things, I really was. And whileI know that was insane, I'm feeling so insecure about my bunny caringabilities, I don't know what to do.

I have to ask everyone to pray for my buns. I'm so scared forall of them now. I keep checking them and checkingthem. I swear I'm making Cedric insane. He jumps upand stares at me when I go in, like, you are bothering meagain?!?!?! I just don't know if I could handle another lossright now.

I'm not sure if I will be around for a few days, I just don'tknow. I'm hurting so badly right now and I cry every time Ithink about it all. But I do find comfort in the people who Ifind here, so I may be here all the time. Please, know thatif I'm not here, you are all in my thoughts constantly. Thankyou again for your heartfelt words of kindness and all the love thatcomes from this forum

Lots of Love,

Jen

Jen, I'm so so sorry.

You have done so much for Orion, and do so much for your other babiesas well. You're taking a very responsible route by getting them all onantibiotics as a precaution. Better to be safe than sorry.

You gave Orion such a good life.

 

[LuvaBun]

Oh goodness, Jen, this is so unfair. I am sovery sorry for all you have been going through lately. I know it isnatural to be paranoid about your other buns, but I am sure that thereis nothing wrong - it does seem likely that poor Orion's bad startcaused his problems.

You do so much for all your babies, please don't question yourself. Weare all here for you, and I will be praying for you and all your babies.
