Lurker needs zombie hugs :(

[bookbunny]

Hi, I'm usually over on the book club board, but I have posted on the pesties board on TN before, and have lurked on here for a bit. I have three bunnies who mean the world to me. My husband and I adopted them over 4 years ago and love them like crazy. One of them, Holly, got an eye infection 2 weeks ago and we rushed her to the vet. She's been on antibiotics and pain meds for two weeks, but the eye is not getting better, and she's losing weight from not eating. We have surgery scheduled tomorrow to have the eye taken out at our vet's recommendation. We just don't want her to be in pain longer than necessary, and want her to have strength to recover post surgery.

I feel so upset and worried and sad and guilty. The vet said there was nothing we could have done, but I am a mess and so sad that my poor little Bun is scared and in pain.

Any advice, encouragement, thoughts, prayers, or good thoughts for my bunny would be appreciated. Thank you all!

ETA: here's a picture of my Bun

I'm sorry, that must be a really difficult decision- but it sounds like it is necessary. T&P for Holly ({)

Update:

She didn't make it She pulled through the surgery, but couldn't wake up from the anesthesia, and she slipped away. We just came home from saying good bye to her at the vet.

She's going to be buried in Napa (frozen grapes were her favorite treat). I'm glad she's no longer in pain, but am really just so devastated that we lost her. I didn't see it coming, and really thought she would be okay.

And the kicker is that today was her fourth birthday (we adopted her 4 years ago). I bought her special hay and cilantro to welcome her home after surgery. We have two other bunnies too (They were a bonded trio) and I think they know something is wrong. Poor things, they look so confused.

Sorry for rambling, I just feel so lost right now.

Thank you all for the kind words, support, and T&P. I'm so sorry I don't have better news to share. Please give your pets an extra hug or cuddle tonight.
