Last night at around midnight, I gave all the bunnies their pellets as usual. River is always very keen and rushes his food, probably because he only used to get a few pellets due to his teeth.
After a few pellets he suddenly started choking... I tried everything to get the pellet(s) dislodged including turning him upside down. But nothing worked and he continued to struggle breathing and lots of fluid coming out of his nose! When it became obvious that nothing was going to work, I called the South London Emergency Clinic, but no-one answered the phone. I tried twice with no luck. Then we decided to take River just down there, but when I got back upstairs, he was just taking his last breath and I lost him!
I am absolutely devastated that I couldn't help him! The same once happened to Apollo (I think it was) and I successfully managed to sort him out. But not this time with River.
I brought him to the vet's this morning for an individual cremation. He will be coming home again on Saturday.
Sleep tight, my beautiful and special boy! God obviously needed an angel urgently and chose you.
