Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / August 2005

Just left my 8yo male bun Scooter at the vet.  We noticed this morning that
he was limping around the living room, having somehow hurt his front left

How am I ever going to get over losing my dear Sweepie?  Such a big, soft,
cuddly, furry bunny boy, with the biggest eyes and softest coat, great big
long, soft, pricked ears and twitchy nose, sweet  friendly boy, it must have
been his time to leave us.   No warning, no illness, ...

my rabbit has been sitting in her litter box for about a day and a half.
when I open the cage she comes out and runs around. should I be worried?

I'm having a particularly bad day today; perhaps expressing how much I miss
my little guy will help me.
It's has only been 10 days; I know I have to give myself more time, but the
sadness seems to be getting worse for me.

Just saw this sick bastard mentioned; nto even sure I should post it here,
but some sick bastard has been hurting and killing bunnies.
