My sympathies to you, chromashadows. My bunny passed on several months ago so I know how awful you must be feeling. I'm sure you gave him a good life during the time you spent together. I also have a ton of student debt so you're not alone with that either. <>

I am so sorry about your bunny and your situation!

It probably doesnt matter to you now but I thought I would share my experience. I live in a small town, and there is a 24hr emergency animal clinic here. They are expensive and require to pay upfront. The minimal cost is $100 just for an appointment. But they offer application for credit with some company that can be filled out right there even at nighttime. I had to use their clinic twice for emergencies. Ended up paying $100 for a visit when our bunny got attacked by a dog. Maybe there is a clinic like that where you live. Just good to know the resources for the future.

To piggyback off what LittleDoll was saying -- when we took our bun to the vet for his hurt foot (it was also an emergency service but we found out our actual normal vet takes it too) they had an application for a credit card specifically for your animals. My boyfriend did the application on his phone and was approved for $700 on the spot. So we used that for the visit that day. It's a great card to have for emergencies with your little guy! It's my boyfriends card -- so if you're interested in the name, I'll get it from him later when he gets home!

Yes please do, tanlover. That would be amazing for when ever I get another bun. <3

Another good thing to do is to open a savings account for emergencies, and put money into it every paycheck, even if its only $5. And don't spend it unless it is an actual emergency, like a needed vet visit, or the like. Vet care MUST be provided for your animals, as they can't go to the doctor on their own, and depend on us to take them. It's the law in many places, as well. So save up so you don;'t have this kind of tragedy happen again.

It's called CareCredit --- here's the link for it : http://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/

Hope this helps and I hope you can get another bun soon! <3

I have Care Credit also. It helped tremendously when I had both my boys neutered at the same time and it was a little over $400! I like it because if I pay it off within 6 months, it's interest free. It's also comforting to know that its there in case of emergencies. I am not really happy using a credit card, though, so my plan is to do what MonkeyBun said and start putting away a little each paycheck for this type of thing. That's always the best way to go, if possible.

Very sad to read this.
I lost my previous bunny Tussi before xmas last year and I was shattered.
I can imagine how you feel.

If you want I can print a picture for you to remember your fuzzbutt by.
I am a photo-nut so I got some gear, and I can do up to 24" by 36" and I can also do it on canvas.
Send me a message if you want me to print something.

I just wish I could do more.

Oh such a sad story I just lost both my boys and while I have read everything I can find on bunnies, I was not prepared for how quickly something can happen. My baby was at the vet's office when he got sick and despite their best efforts, he died within minutes These are fragile little creatures that we love. I'm so sorry for your loss
