Beagle Bun Mom.
Though I know I made Skippy's last days wonderful... he unfortunately could not overcome the past care (or lack of) that he had received, and having been separated from his mom at 6 weeks. I did everything I could for Skippy in the ten days I had him, and I know he felt loved, and I know he loved me. But I found him this morning in the corner of his pen on his blanket, diarrhea everywhere. Even though I was able to regulate his diet (we had finally returned to yellow, normal looking pee!) it was too late for him. He wasn't with his mom long enough to get the nutrients he needed.
I only had him for 10 days, but Skippy had hopped his way right into my heart the first hour I had him. I'm devastated knowing I will never have bunny cuddles and kisses from him again. But knowing that I was able to make his last days so wonderful is somewhat reassuring.
I wanted to thank all of you for answering my questions re: Skippy's care, and for being so welcoming. I don't know that another bunny is in my future for a while, but I do appreciate what I learned, and I WILL be going after the breeder who is taking these precious babies away from their mother so early. Florida law says that bunnies cannot be sold under 8 weeks... and I will do everything I can to get justice for Skippy, and any of his siblings who have suffered his same fate. (And any knowledge on this subject and how to proceed would be greatly appreciated if you have it.)
Thank you again. :bunnyangel:

Young rabbits are so vulnerable. It can be hard to get them back to health when they have had a difficult start in life. I'm sure Skippy appreciated all you did for him, and felt your love and care for him in those few days with you.
