I want to thank everyone for their prayers, kind words, and concern for my rabbit (thank you to those who prayed but didn’t post a message). I’m very sorry to to have to tell you all that I had to have my bunny put to sleep yesterday morning. As you know he was very sick, but I was trying to nurse him through it. Sunday night, there seemed to be something wrong with his left hip, so I put him on the carpet to see if he was able to hop. He took three hops, and his right foot went out to the side. I quickly picked him up, but it was obvious his leg was broken. The only options were surgery or euthanasia. He was already weak from being sick (he still was not eating or drinking on his own, and he had lost some weight), and he was older now, so I didn’t think he’d survive the surgery. And the vet said putting a rabbit under is already risky, even when they’re healthy. I didn’t want him to be in anymore pain, so I decided it was time to let him go. I’m sorry this isn’t a happier update, but I thought you all might like to know what happened. Again, thank you for all your prayers, they were greatly appreciated.
 
I’m sorry to hear it… well… it was his time…

You did what you could!

God keep you!

I’m so sorry to read that. You did the right thing though. Yes it’s already risky for a healthy rabbit. I know it’s very hard, but it was his time. You did everything in your power, and I have no doubt he lived a happy life. Wish you all the best. And if you need to talk we’re here for you.
 
Thank you so much, you’ve been so kind. Even though I know it was best for him, I still feel guilty. One of my cats keeps looking for him, it’s heartbreaking.
 
I’m so sorry for the loss of your pet rabbit, may you be consoled by your faith and your happy memories.
