On to eternal binkis for my Turkii

[Dlc56]

I first want to say how thankful I am for this forum. I would use this website a lot to try and figure out my bunnies Behavior or why he did certain things and I dreaded to think that I would ever have to use the Rainbow Bridge Forum but alas here we are.

My husband and I lost our four-year-old Rex, Turkii, suddenly Last Night. He had stopped eating that morning before work. I stopped at the store to get him fresh greens to hopefully entice him to eat. He was bonded to his wifey Tesla and was always the first one to the cage when I gave them hay. So I knew something was wrong when he didn’t run up.

I massaged his belly when I got home and separated him from Tesla to monitor if he was eating . By the time we decided to call the emergency vet , I knew something was very wrong. My husband and I sat with him during his final moments, he looked to have had a seizure then stopped breathing. He was our first pet together and seeing him pass was honestly so devastating and painful. It all happened so fast.

I’ve been reading y’all’s post about your buns passing and have cried with each one. It’s hard to express my grief but this forum has helped so much. I’ve been replaying the sequence of events from that night over and over and I just feel like I should’ve known better. I shouldn’t have changed their bedding or could have taken him to the vet instead of going to work . Anything to justify his passing. We left his body with Tesla for a few hours to give her time to grieve as well. I’m saddened for her too, she lost her best buddy.

They had their own room in my house and I’m having difficulty imagining that space without him but I honestly want to thank all of you for creating a safe space to share my feelings and loss of my Turkii baby. I am grateful to have recorded his last double binki this past Saturday. We laid him to rest under a beautiful tree in our backyard. I hope for endless binkis on that rainbow bridge my love.

I’m sorry for you loss. It’s always hard to lose a pet that you loved so much.

I’m very sorry about the loss of Turkii.

I’m sorry about the loss of your bun. Don’t blame yourself. When buns pass so suddenly, it usually means there was nothing anyone (including vets) could do to prevent it. I hope you and Tesla can both comfort each other through this hard time.

Binky free Turkii

I’m so sorry for your loss. It seems Turkii had a wonderful life with you and his bun wife. I hope you will be able to comfort each other. Tesla will need extra attention now.

Binky free, ***Turkii***

You all have been so great in easing this process. Tesla and I had trouble bonding bc my Turkii buns was very dominant of both of us if that makes any sense. (We had him for a year before getting him bonded with Tesla at a rabbit rescue) He’d nip her if she came close to me and nip me when I showed her attention.

These past couple of days I’ve been able to approach her and vice versa. I’m starting to see her personality come out more. I loved my Turkii buns more than anything and I’m grateful for all the years we had him. I now look forward to growing my relationship with my tessi and showing her the attention I wasn’t able to before.

Before I ramble more bc I could talk about Turkii and Tesla allll day, I’ll end with my gratitude for my Turkii and for the community y’all have built here for rabbit mom’s and dads across the world

Thanks ?
