Dakota is gone!

Yesterday morning, I found Dakota sitting in her own wee when I got up in the morning. She was sitting on the carpet next to the radiator. She wasn't interested when I put the food in, even the broccoli couldn't tempt her. Her breathing seemed very loud and her nose was wet; I also thought she had red urine though I think this was now dye from the wood where she weed. I booked her into the vets.

Mark had a good look at her and took an x-ray of her bladder and chest, but all was clear. He could not find anything else amiss either other than the obvious symptoms above. So we assumed it was some sort of infection. Mark gave her antibiotics and booked her back in to see him for this morning at 8.

I then had to go to work, but although Dakota looked unwell, she hopped into her cage without problems so I wasn't too worried about leaving her.

How wrong was I... when I came home at 6 pm, I found her dead stretched out. It is such a shock that she is gone. I know she is 7 years old which is good for a French Lop, but she didn't look or behave old at all. So I asked Mark to do a pm on her, and then cremate her individually.

I still can't believe she is gone. This has really knocked me for six! She was such a fantastic bunny... I really miss her.
