...so had to put our poor little bunny down this morning. *sigh* I felt sick about it. She was the cutest little thing with a very easy going personality. I have never had pets so it comes as a bit of a shock how attached I was. As I stood by her while the vet injected her and she left us I started to cry. It was so sad to me how short her little life was and I hoped she was not in any more pain and wondered if she had felt loved.
She was my son's bunny and I have to tell him when he gets home from school. He doesn't even know that I took her to the vet. She had a bad fall and had internal bleeding. Her lungs were full and she could barely breathe. Almost immediately as soon as I got her to the vet she started to really deteriorate and he said it was like she was just waiting to get there.
I have never felt connected to animals - I've always looked at them as added responsibility, mess, smell and of course cost. But I didn't blink when the vet asked if I wanted an xray and then I could have let her die on her own or give her the injection - and it made me sick to think it comes down to money. So I spent $220 to ease her discomfort and watch her die.
To all you pet owners that I've never understood, I get it now.
