Aphreditie,
Sometimes bad things happen and you have to be strong during those times. This is one of them. No one wants to see a bunny in pain, nor a bunny owner being tortured by having to watch their bunny suffering. Honestly, spinal injuries in rabbits are very serious. Your bunny isn't eating much because he is in pain. If you broke your back and had no pain meds, you'd know the feeling.
I think right now, you need to stop thinking about yourself and thinking about not wanting to let him go. Rather you should think about what is best for him at this point, seeing that he is hurting so badly. This injury is not just a little booboo that can be easily fixed.
When my girl got ill, I didn't want to let her go. She was my world and I couldn't see myself without her (as sappy as that may sound). I was willing to spend tons and tons of money on a bunny that had multiple organ failure and who would never fully recover. I really had to stop at one point and just think. Was I basing my decisions on my own emotions or was I really taking her into consideration? Once I did that, I made the decision not to put her through more suffering and I let her go, even if I really didn't want to.
They are under our protection, they are our responsibility. They give us so much, it's only fair that we return the favor. Don't sit there and watch him suffer, it's not fair to him. It's not that we don't support you, we just don't support the decision to do nothing about it.Meds from some random lady online doesn't cut it. No meds should be administered without a vet's approval. Do you even know his exact weight for dosage? Administering meds improperly may only add on to his suffering right now.
I'm sorry that you are both going through this. I hope something good will come out of it. :hug:
