here I show my bond with my rabbit. It is very possible to have a very strong connection with any pet. Rabbits are very social creatures and like to have company and love. What makes Binky and I special is that we both suffer chronic illness and both battle with it. Myself more than Binky these days but even in illness we are quite connected. If I get unwell my bunny seems to get unwell and visa versa. We have spent so much time together I think Binky bunny thinks I am actually a rabbit. I know when our bunny is sick long before he shows symptoms and the same with me, he just knows I am not well. Our cat has a similar sense too to myself and to Binky bunny. It is amazing the connection between animal and human and I hope this shows this. I earned respect from my bunny by listening to im almost spiritually and going ‘outside the box’ to treat him when he was sick or is sick. I could not use conventional methods with him and it was not as simple as just wrap him in a towel and feed him, this did not work. He would fight to his death that I was not going to be doing that with him he did not tollerate any of it. So I had to think outside the box. I had to tap in to his own feelings as a little creature what would make him comfortable. Try all different ways with him. It turns out Binky bunny likes to be against my chest by my heart beat for me to feed or medicate or hold him because I think he feels safe in the warmth and the feel of my heart beating and safely tucked under my chin. He himself showed me this by licking my neck when under my chin as if to say, mum I am scared. He did this for the first time in the vets. He did not bite my neck, he licked me for his comfort. to comfort himself. And in the vets he also jumped off the table and ran right up my body and perched himslef right there under my chin hanging on with his claws for dear life. He showed me that animals have extreeme emotion no matter how small they are! he was like a litte baby trying to snuggle in to me and still is. Binky bunny is very bolshy and funny and a live wire when he is well but when he is sick he is a total cuddle bug. He used to fight, bite scratch and grunt and thump. He was not having any sort of syringe feeding or medicating and like most rabbits he made a huge fuss through fear. and thats what it is it is fear. Rabbits are prey animals they do not like to be held and have all these things done more than most, so it was very hard. So I got to a point where I could not just continue to fight him every time he had a seizure and needed treating, I had to come up with a plan. I had to earn his trust and create a huge bond with him and these days he actually knows I know he knows I am helping him as he just does what I am asking of him! he has learned the routine. Rabbits like routine and this has become part of Binky bunnys routine when he is sick and he just knows that. He is also medicated twice daily and he is totally fine with it, again it is just the routine but it was not always like this. Always have hope. There was a rainbow for Binky at the end of his seizures (he still has them but no where near as bad) and there is hopefully a rainbow for me too at the end of this awful illness journey of my own. love and light.
