bonbon passed last night unexpectedly. i don’t know what caused her passing, she was only 3 1/2. i believe it might’ve been gi stasis, i noticed her feeling skinnier a couple days ago and thought that maybe i just hadn’t been feeding her enough pellets—she was still eating nonetheless and i didn’t think anything of it. there was no change in diet, environment, or anything that might’ve brought her stress. i still should’ve monitored her closer and taken her to the vet. i’m heartbroken, and so is her brother. i raised her and her brother as babies and they’ve never left each others side. it hurts me to think that she was in pain and i didn’t do anything to prevent it. i don’t know how to get over her death—they were supposed to go to college with me, they were supposed to grow old together, she’s gotten me through so much and i will miss her so deeply. her brother is visibly depressed, and as much as i hate it, i know i need to get another rabbit soon.
please monitor your rabbits if you feel like something might be wrong, i am distraught and blame myself—if i had noticed that she might’ve not been eating and had taken her to the vet maybe i could’ve saved her. i don’t think ill ever stop mourning her, i will love you forever bonbon
