RIP little Tenshin

Today I took my 3, 8 month old boys to the vet to be neutered. In her 15 years there the vet had only lost one rabbit so I liked my chances. She's still an excellent vet, despite her death toll now going up one. My baby boy Tenshin (who was 4 pounds while the other two were a bit over 3) stopped breathing during the surgery and she gave him medicine to try and help him but unfortunately I got a call 2 hours ago telling me that although the two other neuters went perfectly and the buns are already nibbling on hay, one didn't make it. I feel so guilty having put him through this, but I also know that he was beginning to get aggressive and I could not keep him unless he was neutered. The vet assured me he was under when he went so he wasn't in any pain, so I hope he's happy over the rainbow bridge. RIP Tenshin
(He's the one with the stripe down his back)

The last one was taken about 4 months ago and I'm not very sorry I didn't take more pictures afterwards.

Mom had a newer picture. We've decided to cremate him and spread his ashes when we plant a new tree in spring.View attachment ImageUploadedByRabbit Forum1424377022.677531.jpg

Tenshin was a gorgeous bunny. You were doing the responsible thing as a rabbit owner, it was just a very unfortunate side effect that happened to the little fella. Binky free, Tenshin. ray:

I'm so very sorry for your loss, it can happen to anyone but is so unexpected all the same.

So sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful little man. Johnny Cash summed it up pretty decades ago, "I don' like, but I guess things happen that way".

So sorry about your loss
