I know this will be moved to the support area soon, but I wanted to thank everyone for their healing vibes, prayers and thoughts for my girl Hershey over the last 2 months.

After coming back from Horners and then fighting headtilt, she finally quit eating and drinking all together last Wed. night. Wouldn't even swallow forced feedings, just drop it out and she'd lost so much weight. She wasn't sitting hunched or like she was in pain, she just didn't want it. Her eyes were losing their spunk and you could tell she had pretty much made her own decision.

We made our last trip together to the vet Friday where Dr. Erving agreed and we let her pass quietly. This is so very hard because Hershey was 'my' bunny and everything perfect about bunnydom. I will miss her bossy sassing and even the bites as she made her opinion quite clear. Her conquering of my house during the last two years is a highlight of my life.

A strange thought crossed my mind during that time that she was passing, that she was slipping from my hands into the hands of my late husband, almost like I heard him say, it's ok, I have her now. I say strange because Jim died in 2003 and I've lost other pets since then and not felt that, but there have been lots of weird things that have happened to make me think he's watching over us.  So now I figure he's at the Rainbow Bridge  playing with all our buns and watching out for Simba and his lovely Hershey once more.

Bunnyslave vibes are the strongest kind, thanks for all you gave us.

Binky Free my beautiful Hershey, Kathy

So sorry to hear about Hershey.  But you gave Hershey and Simba  a wonderful and loving home where many others would have overlooked them because of their age.  And in the end you pet Hershey's needs before your own needs and did the kindest thing an owner can do- even though it is one of the hardest things to do.

~!~BINKY FREE BEAUTIFUL HERSHEY! RE-UNITED WITH HR SIMBA ONCE MORE~!~

~I couldnt help but cry when i saw this thread. we were all hoping she would get better and now this, hershey and twix send lots of hugsbinkies and snuggles~
 

OK, now I'm crying too.  I dread the day anything happens to my 2 bunz and cat.  I am very sorry for your loss and hope your other bun is doing OK.  My brother had a bunny, Phineaus that passed away at about 3 1/2 (cancer) and when I told my great niece Karley who was 4 at the time, she just looked up at me and said, "I think Phineaus is up in heaven sitting on Aunt Tami's lap right next to the angels"!  Tami was my best friend that I knew since birth and she passed in 2004 of colon cancer and was Karley's godmother.  She also left behind twin 7 year old boys...very sad.  Every time I walk past Phin's grave in our back yard I picture him hangin' out with Tami & it calms me.  I have to believe in things like that to get through tough times!  Binky free and remember to take care of yourself too.

  Hershey certainly is special. I have a soft spot for her.  I'm so sad she's gone and sad for you Kathy....yet I'm thankful too that you and your vet recognised the moment when she asked to go. From what you've posted lately, you and the vet certainly gave her the best of care.   Had you sort of been preparing for this since Simba passed?   Did your husband know Hershey and Simba when he was alive?  It's must be comforting to feel his presence at this time.

{{{HUGS}}}   *Binky Free Darling Hershey!*  Kathy, please continue to share pictures and stories of Hershey & Simba.

edit: Kathy, I found a pic of her you once posted. Do you mind if I re-post it here?

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm sure Hershey was grateful for all you did for him.  It's good to know he's in good hands now.

Oh no.   I am so sorry she left so soon.   Thats so nice your hubby is looking out and watching over you and Hershey.  I have to do something else now or I will cry.
