So i am mostly on here to vent because i have been posting a lot in the health and wellness thread about my sick bunny floyd.
Today has been an awful day.
I woke up to rabbit diarrhea all over his x pen and had to go to work while desperately trying to get an appointment with a vet.
My rabbit vet just retired and everyone else declined my plea's saying they were either swamped, inexperienced with rabbits or currently only neutering and spaying rabbits, had no appt spots available or their rabbit vet was out of town.
So i was completely exhausted and crying at work and my boss sent me home.
When i got home, my mother who is visiting for a week, told me we had to talk (I'm 24 at uni and she is my landlord). She said i have to get rid of my bunny because she saw his diarrhea and thinks he's too much work for his worth. She said i either give him up or move out (knowing damn well that of course i don't want to move out of the home i have lived in for 3/4 years and made my own to move into a ****** basement suit with expensive rent). So it's very manipulative.
I started sobbing and we got in a MASSIVE fight because she basically said either the rabbit goes by the ens of august or i have to go with him by the end of august. I obviously do not want to rehome him. He is my everything and with his complex issues (especially right now) i can't imagine anyone else being willing to put in the effort to keep him healthy and well. If i give him to a shelter they will have to deal with his expenses and might reject him or quickly rehome him to anyone to make space for new buns, and if he goes to the spca who knows what will happen to him. I feel sick to my stomach.
I can't rehome him, he's mine. He's my baby. I am currently begging my mom like a child. It sounds pathetic. The fight has become about things not even related to the rabbit which leads me to believe this isn't really about him but she isn't listening...
Like i said just venting. Could use some support or advice.
Thank you <3
