Panini's owner and I had agreed that I was to goover to his house today and take her with me. I received a phone callthis morning -- she died sometime between late last night and earlythis morning.
Today's not a good day.
From over in BC, I tried to do the best I could in finding her a newhome but it was extremely difficult. I gave him tips on how to bettercare for her meanwhile, as the neglect was in part due to hisignorance. But there was only so much I could do without being here inperson. Now I am and I'm SUPPOSED to be heading over there right now,but it's a little too late.
She was only about 7 months young, never had hay to eat under his care,constantly producing excess cecals, and was terrified of being touched(always put up a fight). I wish things could've turned out differently.
None of the rescues I contacted could/did do anything about it.
The worst thing is, he had to constantly be reminded to feed her orhe'd forget. I asked him when he called to tell me what happened ifthere was food + water in there.. and he said no. I'm so very angryright now, don't understand how someone can just "forget" to feed theirpet rabbit who makes noises (shouldn't that at least be a reminder thatthere's something living under his household that needs to eat?). Shewas an indoor rabbit, btw, so I just can't understand.
