I can't tell you how touched and grateful I am for all your comments and thoughts. It means so much to us to know how much Perry was loved - not bad for a rescue bunny that had been at the Shelter the longest because no one wanted him!
When the vet phoned me yesterday, they had just taken a skull x-ray.She said the abscess behind his eye was caused by the tooth root growing into the eye orbit, and that the same thing was beginning to happen to the other eye. Also, the teeth roots were growing down into his jaw,which was why he was having difficulty eating, and that he would never be able to feed himself properly again. I couldn't let my little man suffer any more.
We took Pernod to say 'Goodbye'. She nudged Perry all over, licked his ears, then jumped back into the carrier on her own - something she has never done before - as if she knew it was time. I kissed Perry, told him we loved him, told him that he was very special and how all of you were thinking of him from all over the World. He raised his little head, rested it on my arm, and the vet gave him the injection :bigtears:
I have spent the time since crying , looking at his photos and cuddling Pernod. Thankfully, she is eating, pooping etc normally. But it seems strange seeing her on her own, and she goes around licking all the areas he used to lay. We are having Perry cremated, and will get his ashes back in a week or so. I will add to the Rainbow Bridge when I feel able.
Once again, thank you all so much.

Oh Jan I don't know what to say. I'm sure Perry knew he was loved right to the very end. We're all here for you. Hugs to you and Pernod. Binkie free Perry.
