I am a little at loss for words right now. Tragically we lost our sweet Bizzie this morning. I am just in tears writing this, it has been an extremely difficult timefor all of us as we become so close to our bunnies. We purchased Bizzie as a bred doe, this would be her first litter and of course wewere all excited because the sire was an amazingly typed bun withseveral GC legs. Over the course of the month, Bizzie spent most of her time indoors when the weather was bad, we had 2 tornadoes in the course of a week-I told my husband, these babies were going to be miraclesbecause momma has gone through so much.
Bizziewent into labor earlythis morning around 7:00am, she labored for about 1 hour, moaning and grunting. I immediatley took her to the vet fearing the worst but hoping for the best and I know bunnies usually kindle within 15 minutes. She got oxytocin which I think only worsened her pain. She had one peanut kit, he is so tiny. Her uterus apparently ruptured soon after according to the vet and we were able to hold her the last few minutes of her life. It was my little girl crying and grieving as she held Bizzie that tore me to pieces. I had no idea how much she cared for that fuzzy bunny, it was so sweet to hear her say, "Jesuswill hold you Bizzie. I love you.":cry1:
We took her home, I did an autopsy to see what happened and it was a stuck kit(very large). She would have had 3. She was burried here and will be greatly missed. The kit is still alive but probably will not make it as the vet believes it is a peanut. Hannah has gotten attatched to the little one and I fear she will be even more heartbroken when it passes. We have prepared her, even though she tells me, 'look mom, he's okay'. Keep us in your prayers, I would have never imagined how much a loss can hurt. My mothertells me 'it isjust a rabbit', but no, Bizzie was apart of our family and I can't compare anything to this pain. Binkie free momma Bizzie, play with your babes andI can't wait to see you once again one day.:bunnyangel:
