My rat Jesse died in my arms today. I tried to get him better, but he couldn't breathe. Nothing helped. He was such a sweet heart, even licked my fingers as the vet gave him a Decadron shot. I knew he didn't have much time left, since he was losing weight, despite my efforts to keep him eating. Still I'll miss him tons.

So sorry Danielle. 💙
 
He had cancer. He had been going downhill for a few months, but yesterday morning when I woke up, I realized he wasn't doing well at all. He hadn't finished his kale from the night before, so I knew something was wrong. I called a new vet, took him in, and he didn't even need to tell me, I already knew. He had a seizure in my arms, so they rushed him off to put him down (upon my request, I didn't want him to suffer). I'm glad I got my shift covered yesterday because he would have died alone in his cage. :( He had lost so much weight and wasn't a perky and puffy bunny anymore. It was his time.

I took down his cage yesterday, I couldn't handle seeing it anymore. I would see it and look for him, out of habit. He was the best bunny.
I too lost my bunnies, it was beyond heartbreaking.
I lost my boy Jimby in 2018 and my Cookie in 2022. It does get easier but the pain never goes away.
My heart goes out to you xx
