This is my rabbit jayjay, he is a 7 year old Holland lop who suffers from an abscess in his eye that is 'imminent to rupture'. If a hair or piece of hay pokes it in the wrong way it will puncture the already extremely thin membrane and cause extreme pain for him. He has also suffered losing his bonded mate Touka, the 11 year old brown Netherland dwarf in the later pictures of them together, back in October. We made the tough decision as a family to have him put to sleep on the 20th before he would experience that pain.
Tomorrow I turn 27. I adopted Touka as a baby when I was 15 years old and jayjay when I was 21 years old and he was a 2 year old.
This is going to be my last birthday having rabbits. Rabbits have brought me so much joy over the years and their companionship has saved my life on multiple occasions and gave me a reason to wake up in the morning. I know I should be feeling lucky that hes alive for one more birthday but I cant see past the devastation I feel at his impending loss. My rabbits meant the world to me and ive veen dysfunctional for 6 months since I also lost Touka. Ive spent every day crying about her and even still I wouldn't even consider myself barely capable kf anything right now. Im so tired of having my heart destroyed why does losing these creatures have to hurt so much.
