Bunpals, this is his mum. I'm truly heartbroken to share with you, that whilst Neil did start to respond to treatment, he quickly started to deteriorate, with vets suspecting a blockage. Sadly he was too weak to be operated on and he crossed the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon 🌈😭

When we went to the vets and said goodbye to Neil, we saw his name on the wall on the inpatient board. 💔

New ice pod put in part way through the day at the weekend and Benjamin was delighted, treating us to a flop!

So many photos on the computer to go through/edit. Christmas 2025 caught my eye, never knowing it would be his last with us. Always in the middle of it all, eating paper, chewing boxes, this time also having a moment where he climbed on a still wrapped tub of chocolates.

I still find myself having a moment missing Neil with a few tears. Buttercup and Benjamin have been too hot this week with the weather, I thought how Neil would've been laid in the sun in his favourite spot. Buttercup has been off her food a little last night so I'm watching her

The vets that tried their best to help Neil & where we said goodbye sent us a lovely card a few days after his death. I wanted to let the other where he regularly had his teeth done know. I commented on their social media, they replied with a lovely message & sent this card 🥺

Tues was 2 weeks since we lost you. Still the silence in the house deafens us, no claws on the floor, no chewing, no rumpus when you're up to no good. We don't miss having a rabbit in the house, we miss you. I wish with all my heart we could have you back instagram.com/reel/DYUkCj8sV…

Having a little weep seeing the card the vets sent me, that's on my desk. And the footprint they took for me after we had to let him go. I haven't been able to post that, I still find it hard to look at, but might add it to some jewellery I'm looking at that I can put some fur in

It's raining for the first time since we buried Neil in the garden and all I can think about is him getting wet and dirty. He always spent so long keeping himself pristine. This upsets me so much. 😣

The pain is a little less raw, but the kitchen echoes without his litter trays & the dining room feels too big without his cage. But there are little reminders around the house, a pang of sadness, the ruminating thoughts of what if we'd done something different or sooner.

It's hard for all of us to have an empty house, but Neil's little brofurs are finding it very difficult. Particularly little brofur #1 who has had Neil as his best friend for the longest. We're forever thankful to have had an amazing rabbit to teach them how to be kind to animals

I am staying at the vets for the day, I have IV fluids in my ear, I am in an incubator to warm up as my temperature was a bit low. I have been fed some recovery, I've had a drink (mum not sure whether myself or with syringe). I'm also on some really strong pain meds 1/2

I may need x-rays to check my tummy if things don't improve. Mum just rang to check on me, nothing happening yet, but at least she knows I'm settled & I have 2 nurses looking after me! They don't have overnight care, so I will be coming home later. Updates as I get them!

Mum was up until 5am this morning, trying to massage my tummy, syringe feed me. I drank water at one point, but that was all. I'm still bloated, don't want to move or eat, no poops. Mum is going to ring vets when they open. The hooms are sad, mum isn't going to work today.

Pawcircle needed! Not been 100% all day, not eating, laying down, needed encouragement to even take my Loxicom! But I threw a curveball by doing a superbun. Mum out most of day, Dad not fully happy. Evening both decided I'm not right, thankfully vets do own emergencies. 1/2

When mum called he was just about to leave! Bloated with gas, confident no blockage, so for now, pain meds on top of my Loxicom earlier, gut stimulant and fluids (lots!) with some for Mum to keep on giving. Mum's been massaging my tummy too. Had Critical care & will need more 2/2

I am so much better than before I had the Panacur, it's quite amazing really. I will go up and downstairs a little, but usually mum has to encourage me from the bottom, no jumping on the bed for a while now, but that's okay, as long as I'm happy being me, mum says.
