This is a very sad story. I need advise for my bunny who just lost her family.
2 weeks ago I had 4 rabbits, all spayed/neutered. Mithril, Mr Chip, Bunnadict, and Rabbitha. Very sadly and suddenly I've lost 3 bunnies one after another. I'm waiting for the results to know what exactly happened. I know Mithril had a digestive disease I was told was not contagious, she passed two weeks ago. Mr Chip and Bunnadict died this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. I returned home with their medicine when we found Bunnadict.. I should have results soon, they are guessing a respiratory issue for the two boys. They were all around 5 - 6.5 years old and have been together for the last 5 years. Making things even sadder.. Mithril and Mr Chip were Rabbitha's children.
Rabbitha is my last bunny left. I've taken her to the vet and she's on precautionary medication. She has stopped eating so I'm syringe feeding her every 4 hour per the vet's orders. I'm struggling to find the right thing to do for her. She was a meat rabbit rescue and has always been timid and afraid of people. She was very closely bonded to the other three. She's never really connected with humans before. She only liked the company of other rabbits, and now it's the first time she's been alone in 5 years.
With the prescribed medicine and forced feedings I feel like I'm basically torturing her every 4 hours to try to keep her alive. She doesn't trust me or anyone, she's scared, depressed, and alone.
I don't know what to do. The other three who passed suddenly were very social and bridged the gap for her. I was okay with Rabbitha not being friendly towards people because I knew she was happy with her family.
