Unfortunately I had to make the hardest decision to let my sweet Nova go today. Nova has been ill for a while and lost half her weight very rapidly. Unfortunately her medication didn’t work anymore. Yesterday evening she stopped eating. I was also giving her critical care, but she stopped taking it. She just let it sit in her mouth. She didn’t move an inch for hours. Only to turn around and lay flat again. That’s when I knew it was time to let her go. My heart is absolutely shattered. She passed away so quickly. Her tiny body truly was exhausted from all the fighting. I haven’t stopped crying since this morning. I feel like I am losing my mind. I’m also very worried about my other bunny. He lost his best friend. I did let him say good bye to Nova, but he only looked and immediately ran away, thumping. I think he knew she was slowly dying since he left her alone all day. No grooming or laying together. I am sick to my stomach. How can I even cope with this loss. I’m scared Moon is going to be lonely and thinking about leaving him for even 30 minutes to go to the grocery store makes me literally sick. But I’m just not ready to get another bunny. Guess I’ll just become a hermit.
I adopted Nova almost 3 years ago from someone that had her in a super tiny cage. I was her third owner already. She came home to my sweet boy Moon and was able to free roam 24/7, also with access to the backyard.
Good bye my sweet, beautiful Nova. You are so loved by me and Moon. I miss you so immensely.
