RIP Chipper
This morning one of my beloved rabbits, Chipper, passed away. He was only 3 1/2 years old. The cause of death is not entirely known but an intenstinal blockage is the suspected culprit. According to the vet he started having difficulty breathing and shortly after succumbed to death. He had not been himself since roughly Saturday and I had brought him back to my house to keep him under observation. As of last night he still had not eaten anything so he was taken to the vet, given a lot of anti-biotics, anti-inflammatories, and pain medication. He did eat a little bit and he seemed as though he was getting better. This morning he was brought back into the vet for observational purposes and that is where he passed away. I received the phone call on my way to Wawa and needless to say I was not hungry anymore. I went over to the vet to say goodbye for myself, for the other rabbits, and for my family. His body is to be creamated and he will then be buried in his favorite corner of our backyard.
Chipper was a part of the family since the day he was born and my family and I gave him the best life possible. I'll never forget the day when I discovered the litter of bunnies in the bunny hutch and I really enjoyed watching you grow from a tiny little hairless bunny into full grown fuzzy rabbit. You were the most calm rabbit I have ever owned and you never had any behavior issues what so ever. Thank you for being such a nice rabbit.
I had not lost a rabbit in over nine years and the pain of losing a pet has not gotten any easier over the years. I wish he could have been with his family for his final days because at least then he would not have died alone. I hope he knows that everything possible was done for him, I only wish that I would have known sooner that he was sick.
Chipper is leaving behind his sister(Licorice), his mother(Stormy), and his father(Snowball). I know that they will miss him terribly just like I will.
Please watch over them and don't let them go through the same pain that you went through. I know you're in a better place now full of green grass, fruits, vegetables, and chew toys. I love you Chipper, you will never be forgotten.
