I was driving homelate after havingdinner with a friend, and drove around a roundabout when I sawsomething on the road - a wild rabbit sitting hunched up.
I had to swerveas it was2 footfrom theedge of the pavement, and so did some other cars.I couldn'tleave it tobe hit, so I doubled back and stopped the car, sodid a couple in a van at the same time.
It had been hit by a car and had a broken front leg and blood in it'seye but it was still alive - OMG. We didn't know what to do, I couldn'tleaveto die in the coldas it was still alive andsuffering. There was no way I could have endedit's misery,and the guy in the van said he couldn't either.
I picked it up, and it struggled a bit, and I wrapped it in a blanketand put it in a box in my car and sped home. Husband got a fright whenI burst in.Called emergency night vet - I would have paid foranything,and took bun into Edinburgh, 20 minute drive atabout midnight. I was so upset.
Vet said there was no way it would survive and she was going to have toeuthanise it straight away to end it's pain. (Vet said no charge by theway).It was obviously stunned, but not distressedasit was sitting still, and it must have had brain injury with the bloodin it's eye. I was so sad and bawled my eyes out all the way home.
I know I did the best for it, and it spent it last minutesonearth with people who cared for it.I can't get over how manypople must have driven past it and saw something had happened to it,but just left it there.
God bless it's wee soul, may it run and binky free at Rainbow Bridge and I'll collect it on my way to Heaven.
