Our beautiful Bee Bun (aka Cookie), dewlap queen, turned 11 recently!! Despite overall good health, she finally started slowing down last year and was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and put on pain meds.
We got her in 2021 from her second owners, who surrendered her after their middle schooler didn’t want to care for a pet any more. She was six then, and our first rabbit. I am so glad to have had five whole years with her, and to have been her most stable and loving home. She is my best friend and I am forever changed for having known her.
It will probably be her last birthday with us, so she gets all the fancy greens she wants. She had a surgery last summer to remove a mammary tumor and a heel cyst. I just found out her It looks like her mammary cancer has returned and has become metastatic disease. Aside from being a little less robust and a little more sleepy, she still seems very happy.
What recommendations do you all have for me to help give my elder bun on palliative care the best last few months?
