        I have not been active on here in a long while, it’s been pretty hectic. It’s actually been over a month since Obi has passed but I wanted to post for him anyway.

        I had noticed at midnight one night that Obi began sneezing, which was technically normal for him, one vet said it seems that Obi suffers from allergies. This sneezing sounded different though, there was more struggle in it. I went to see if he was ok & he simply laid in the litter box & did not want to move. I went to pick him up & he felt much lighter than usual, a bit limp, very heavy breathing, he didn’t fight me picking him up like usual. My mom said it was my call to take him in immediately or not.

        For a moment I decided to keep a close eye on him until morning, did the food test but nothing. He just laid there in one corner of the condo, lethergic & could barely hold his head up. As inconvenient as it was, I had my mom rush us to an emergency vet. They put him on oxygen to assist his breathing then after about an hour sent us home with antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection & instructions to keep a humidifier in the room with him to help him breathe. Got home around 3am, set up a pin in the bathroom with a soft bed of blankets, food, water, & hay just in case. At 8am, I woke up to check on him. He hadn’t moved from the spot since I last put him to bed. His breathing seemed a little more faint so I had to really study his stomach to make sure he was breathing, after I heard him still breathing, I decided to keep letting him rest. I went back to bed but an hour later my mom woke me to tell me he passed away. He must have taken his last few breaths when I checked on him at 8.
        I cried more than I thought I would. He was such a sweet bunny. Mimzy is so bossy & sometimes aggressive but he was so good with her & so patient. He went along to get along, as long as you pet his head, you were his best friend. This boy was sweet to Mimzy the moment I started bonding them, he even got along perfectly with my friend’s dwarf bunny even though they’d never met before.
        Not to mention, he had one heck of an awesome bunny name<3 Though I might be a little bias...

        Mimzy is a very independent bunny & while they both snuggled a lot, she’s doing just fine. She’s been more clingy but no signs of depression which I expected from her. Obi-Bun should’ve just been turning 8 around the time he passed away.
        Anyway, he was such a cutie & incredibly soft! Especially behind those ears!! It’s so not fair these things have to happen to such innocent creatures but I gave him the best life I could & loved him to pieces. Feels like I only got to borrow him for 3-4 short years…Rest in Peace my little Jedi<3 I will forever miss you

                      Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear this. Kenobi was such a sweetie.

                        Oh, I’m sorry, Binky Free Obi-Bun. He was so handsome and certainly had a good life with you and Mimzy. It doesn’t feel like that long ago when you bought him home. I love the memorial you have for him there.

                        I ‘m happy to read Mimzy has adjusted well. She always an independant sort of girl.

                          Thank you all so much for your kind words! It’s very appreciated! So grateful to have found this website, everyone is always so supportive of one another. Life has been hectic & some things fall to the wayside, but still thankful for the support even though it’s been a while! & it’s also nice to still see familiar faces

                          Also decided a while ago that I probably wouldn’t get Mimzy another companion since she’s very independent & often bossy But now I need to figure out how to keep her from being bored when I’m not able to be in the room with her! She’s the only one in there now & has seemingly been more excited to see me now. Bunny room renovations may be in order!

                              Oh I’m just gutted for you! How very sad to come in and see this post. :'( I am so sorry Obi has gone. He certainly was a sweet little guy and it sounds like he passed much the same as my Pip did only a few months back. Sometimes there is just no knowing for sure why it happens and yes, it’s not a bit fair. :'(

                              I understand the not wanting to take on another bunny, especially if your remaining bun is doing well. My time of bunny-mom-ship is also over once my boys are gone. It is just too painful when they leave us.

                              I’m thinking of you and Mimzy, and I and the other Mimzy on the forum (and Fiver too) wish you peace and comfort in your time of grief. (((((Hugs)))))

                              Sleep well, Obi Bun, and watch over your loved ones from the Bridge. <3

                                I said the same thing two weeks ago (Feb 13) when Jet left my life. No more bunnies. Zero. Never. But since then I have been thinking and remembering all the fun he gave me. And Biskit before him. Twenty two years of little bunnies in my life. And now my resolve is quickly vanishing. I don’t want to go through another bunny death. This last one ripped me apart. But then I think about how sweet he was. And that wins out over the pain.

                                Every animal will die. The problem we can all agree on is they don’t live long enough. And bunnies are the sweetest things going.

                                The only option is to get a bird. Or a tortoise. They will probably outlive most middle age adults. I thought about the bird option. And I quickly realized that every time I looked at the bird I would be thinking of bunnies.   Plus I am no spring chicken and the thought of never having a rabbit in my life again makes me very sad.

                                The rabbit option is winning hands down.

                                 I don’t have one yet, but I have spent two days redecorating my last bun’s rabbit room with new bunny friendly decor. So I will probably take the plunge again.

                                I don’t know if this helps or not.
