I got my first bunny, Max, 2 weeks ago. He was 5 months old. I got him on Craigslist, his owner said that he was rehoming him because he didn't get along with other bunnies. Then when I went to pick him up, his owner said "oh, by the way, he started having seizures. We took him to the vet and the vet said that it was because his nails were too long and he was in pain" and that I just have to trim them once a month.
About a week ago, he had 6 seizures in one day. The next day he couldn't walk. I took him to the vet and they said all I could do was to try antibiotics. The next day, he couldn't hold his head up. The day after that he couldn't eat or drink unless I fed him and gave him water with an eye dropper. I got him put to sleep yesterday (that's what the vet reccomended). I found out from someone else that Max's old owner knew how bad off Max was and that's why he was getting rid of him.
I don't regret getting Max because he made me fall in love with rabbits, I just wish I wouldn't have been so naive. But i'm really glad I was able to give Max a really good final 2 weeks. When he first started having seizures I promised him that I would make him okay. I started feeling really guilty after I scheduled the euthanasia appointmend thinking that I broke my promise. My boyfriend told me that maybe the only way I could make him okay and take away his pain was to let him go. I hope Max understands that EVERYTHING i did for him was because I love him...
