┏━¤☆¤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━¤☆¤━┓ It's been 6 and a half years since a little fella was brought to my home the day before my Birthday. Nobody wanted him but I saw him and I told my mother that I wanted him as my birthday present. Since then I've cared for him, my white rabbit. I love him so much. He has gotten sick during various occasions but he has pulled through.
But recently it seems that he has a sort of cancer on his right cheek. More than 2,000 money where wasted on him on operations. But the vet can't do anything more. His skin on the cheek is just so horrible and rotten. It hurts me to see him like this. My dad wants to put him to sleep but I say no. Because even with his right side rotten, he continues to jump, eat and play normally. I just can't stand putting to sleep such an active animal that continues on even though he is close to his death. I admire that a*****e of a brave rabbit I have. I say to my father that when he stops eating and is crying in pain, I'll put him to sleep.
But am I doing something wrong? I just can't stand watching him like that. He seems like a zombie. But I either can't stand putting him to sleep for his own good. He is my little baby. I know this day has to come sooner or later. I'm depressed about this matter. I can't sleep without crying each night if what I am doing is right. What is your opinion?
here is a picture of him before the sickness.

[~+~] -hugs-
When it comes to pets it's always so difficult - sometimes you just wish they could talk so you know how they're feeling. |:
And it is never easy to lose a pet, or know that you will soon.
What he has does sound truely awful - it sounds similar to what a friends dog had (it was also cancer).
My personal opinion, is when an animal is unhappy, and when they are your own pet you can always tell, that is when it is time to let them go.
From what you've said - he's still really active and everything, he's obviously still content enough to go on.
But you also said he seems like a zombie. Is he really not himself?
Ultimately you have to remember that it really isn't fair to him if he isn't happy - that being said you do sound like you have your head screwed on in as much as you are aware of how he is.
Sorry to ramble. But ultimately, if he doesn't seem happy, and isn't himself, maybe it is time to let him go. And it is better (not so much for you) to let them go before they really start to suffer.
Just sorry that you have to go through this hun, but here if you need to talk about it at all. heart

┏━¤☆¤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━¤☆¤━┓ Thanks. I really appreciate your help. What I meant about the zombie part is how the wound looks in his cheek. He is still pretty much active and is currently eating carrots. But I know what you mean. Thanks again. I know it's going to be hard but at least his last days I'm gonna make them awesome for him.

┏━¤☆¤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━¤☆¤━┓ I think its time. For the first time in six years I've heard him make the sound that I will ever fear hearing. He is in pain and I can't stand him seeing him suffer. I've finally said it to my mother which much effort to try to get the words out. It's time. I can't stand knowing he is going to die soon but it hurts me more to see him like that. I'm crying, I feel bad, but it has to happen. My mom is calling the Vet tomorrow and I know that the day in this week when I go to the Vet with my rabbit is going to be the worse time of my life. It's not the first animal I will see die in front of my eyes.
The first time was that I was with my grandma in the Vet with her old dog. I was 10 years old. I was petting her while we waited. Then it happened. The dog looked at me with her eyes, smiled (I swear she did) before stretching her aching bones and letting out her last breath. It's horrible to see the life dim out of the dogs eyes. To feel that it's spirit just left existence... That a body that once had a soul was now a corpse that will rot. Thats when I noticed that Life isn't fair. I cried so hard, took her head on my hands and hoped I was imagining things. But I wasn't. The Vet came rapidly and with the help of his assistants, took the dog away from me. Leaving me alone in the waiting room since my grandma followed him. I never saw the world the same after that. It was a horrible experience that marked my life forever and hoped to never encounter again. But I guess life has other plans for me. I'm going to relive that nightmare-ish moment again but under other circumstances.
I just wanted to write it, tell somebody since I don't have a true friend to tell this story. I have to get it out of my chest. I just hope I can move on.
If during the week I'm not online, it's because of this.

I'm sorry for your losses. I only somewhat know what you feel like. My dog, who is 14, is starting to get really bad hip problems. I grew up with this guy and I know it will hurt when he finally passes. I just hope that he doesn't pass while I'm away. I'm usually away nine months out of the year for school so I only get to spend time and 'spoil' him for the summer.
I know it's horrible to see your best friend pass right in front of you, but I want to be there for him even though he's just a dog.
I do hope the wounds of loss heal over for you soon. ):

┗━¤☆¤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━¤☆¤━┛ [~+~] How did i not see this. -_-
I'm so sorry.
Oh hun.
You just always have to remember it's for the better for the animal.
I've only known life with dogs, so it's never easy losing one.
The last one we lost (bear in mind i was 18 at the time) we'd had for nearly 14 years. We knew she didn't have long (she was old for a lurcher, and she'd had a stroke the previous year), but how she went was quite awful. I think it was the first time i'd known really what was going on - when i was younger my parents would always just get me away from it all if anything like that ever happened.
She basically had another stroke, and my Dad asked me not to go in when they put her down with the injection, so I went with his wishes. But seeing her when we went back past...I knew that she was already near enough gone before we managed to get her to the vets. I don't really know how this will help you at all, but just know that you don't have to go through this alone, there are people here who can relate to what you went through. Not that it makes any of it less painful.
But seriously hun, just try and distract yourself if you can. Always try to remember the happy times, not the bad. heart

I know sort of how you feel. My rabbit, I must've had her for ten or so years, but one day, she just started being mopey, and not wanting to eat. I knew what that meant. crying So, I made sure that she was comfortable as possible, and spent as much time with her as well.
All in all, I know she's in a better place. As I am sure your buddy is. heart
They can be friends together~ on a happier note.
cry
Sorry for your loss.

┏━¤☆¤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━¤☆¤━┓
Thanks again and yeah. I'll think of all the good times I had with him. It pained me to get to the Vet and give him to the Vet but he is in a better place now. I'm was little depressed all weekend but since school started I've had a lot of support from my friends since they knew I loved him a lot. But I can't help and feel that a part of me is missing and will always be.
On a side note: Pre-Calculus is so freaking hard -_-

┏━¤☆¤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━¤☆¤━┓ Thank you a lot. I really appreciated it and I do hope your dog gets better. Dogs are loyal companions, they care about you before their own health.

┏━¤☆¤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━¤☆¤━┓ Thank you. I'm sure they are partying together this moment ^.^ I miss him terribly. The house just feels so quiet and lonely without him. But this is just another challenge of life I have to surpass and move on. Thanks again.
