RIP Ben has a bum leg!

[gentle giants]

Here are a couple of pics I took of Ben last night.

Ben getting his pain medication. I mix it with pineapple juice, he sucks it out of the syringe like it was candy.

Ben getting a little treat buffet during TV time last night. He couldn't decide what to eat first.

He is so perfect!

He is sooooooooo bootyful....

If you ever need help with him... help as in giving him to me and I get to keep him.. let me know.

A couple more I got.

Ben in my, I mean his, corner bathtub with his comfy blankie.

Ben thinking about indulging in a second slice of banana.

OMG - he is gorgeous....I can see why you love him so much.

Take a ton of photos during this time.......spend as much time with him as you can....

I wish there was more we could do as a forum.....he is such a sweet bunny.

We're here for you - you know that - right?

If you need to cry on our shoulders - we're here for you.

I'm awfully sorry this should happen to Ben. I don't know if this type of cancer (or any cancer for that matter) is something common in rabbits or not. I think you made the correct decision, though. I'm sorry we can't help in this. I hope Ben is not in pain.

I'm so sorry that Ben isn't well. I can see why you love him so much--he looks like a real sweetie. I love his eyelashes. Just remember that you are helping his last days be comfortable and happy, and I'm sure he will continue to be your sweet little boy. He really looks like he's comfortable and as happy as possible in your bathtub there. Good wishes to you both~~

He does have beautiful eyelashes, doesn't he? He passed those on to his son Sammy. I wish Sammy was the lover that Ben is, but he's much more independent. More likely to nip than kiss, the booger.

Marrietta, the vet said these kind of tumors are fairly common in rabbits. I guess I have just been lucky before not to have come across one.

You know, even though he is in pain, Ben still tooth purrs for me when I massage his ears the way he loves. And he was licking my hand last ngiht when I scratched that special itchy spot on his back. I can't even imagine what it is going to be like not have him here.I boughthim from a breeder when I was first getting into Flemish, and the minute I laid eye on him I knew he was special.

I can't even figure out how to say what I am feeling here, you know? I mean, he has always been such a huge part of my bunny group. Anytime I was feeling bad, I could go and get some snggle from Ben and feel better. He had a case of gut slowdown last year, and I was syringe feeding him pumpkin. He loved it so much that he would wrap his paws around the syringe like a baby holding a bottle, and ifI took it away when he thought there was still some in there he would about climb up my chest looking for it. Syringe feeding pumpkin turned into a treat after that. He would eat it out of a dish just fine, but I loved to hold him like a baby and feed it to him instead.

It's wonderful to have these memories of Ben. You should start a journal for him and write down all your wonderful memories.

Ben has crossed the bridge. I will post in the Bridge section shortly. :rip:

I wish there was something I could say but I know it's just too hard to think about right now.

He was beautiful and I know you will miss him terribly.
