I lost my Bunni today. She had been battling what I thought was a cold for
several weeks now but last night she just couldnt fight anymore. It began
with sneezes and then a mild cough. She had been on antibiotics but they
didnt seem to help. Her breathing was labored last night and I just held
her and cried. I knew something was happening last Friday when she was weak
- more weak than normal so I got her back to the vet for chest x-rays. He
said they were clear. How could they be clear?
Bunni was my first ferret. She was so tiny. Barely a pound. I felt so
protective of her. She was a quiet little thing that preferred to be alone
or with just me. She was the most gentle ferret I have ever known. I knew
her every habit and she knew mine. I feel like I really let her down right
now. I wish I had the money for all the tests that might have told me more.
But I didnt and Im not sure she was strong enough to go through them anyway.
I really did all I could Bunni, please forgive me. Rest in peace my little
boopsey rabbit. No one loved you more than me.
Thanks for listnening everybody.
