It's been a week since you left me, my boy, and I still cannot make sense of this new life without you. For the past few days, I've felt completely numb, almost as though my mind couldn't comprehend that you were really gone. I've been waking up feeling lost, disconnected, and unable to feel much of anything. But today, everything has come flooding back. The sadness, the guilt, the regrets, and the unbearable longing to hold you just one more time.

I keep going over the different decisions about your treatment in my mind. I wish I could turn back time a year ago and change that antibiotic, because I know things would have been different. And knowing that when we finally tried it now, there was already resistance to it, is absolutely destroying me. I wish more than anything that I could go back and change that one decision.

I miss our cuddles so much. I miss the way you would flatten your little facey against my arm and grind your teeth in happiness. I loved those little moments we shared more than I could ever explain. I would give absolutely everything to feel your little face against my arm again, to kiss you and tell you how much I love you.

I had so desperately hoped you'd make it to your tenth birthday. I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I don't think I ever could have been.

I find myself writing messages to you, wondering what they even achieve. Perhaps it's because I have so much love for you and nowhere to put it anymore. Perhaps it's because some part of me hopes that, wherever you are, you can somehow hear me.

I hope you hear me telling you how sorry I am and how deeply you were loved.

I worry about your sister constantly, my boy. Seeing her struggle without you breaks my heart, and I can't help feeling responsible for the emptiness you've left behind. I don't want to leave her alone.

I don't know how to navigate life without you or how to stop replaying the past, wishing I could change things. I miss you more than words can explain.

I loved you every single day of your beautiful life, and I will love you for every single day of mine.

If love alone could have kept you here, my precious boy, you would have lived forever. 💛🐰🌻

Benjamin, Coco, Jewel, Willow and Sunny. ❤️🐰🌈

Five beautiful souls, all taken from me in the space of just three and a half years. The devastation I feel is beyond words. My entire family, my whole world, taken from me.

I hope with all my heart that each of them knew just how deeply I loved them. I poured everything I had into my babies. They were never just rabbits to me. They were my children, my family, my happiness and the greatest loves of my life.

They always came first, before anyone and anything. Nothing made me happier than spending every hour of every day with them, even while I worked. Just knowing they were there, hearing them, seeing their little faces and being surrounded by their presence was everything I ever needed.

While so many people dream of expensive things, beautiful houses, fancy cars and material possessions, I would give absolutely anything to live in a world where my babies still existed. Where I could wake up and see their beautiful faces, hold them close, care for them and simply have another ordinary day with them.

I never needed anything extravagant to be happy. I already had everything I ever wanted when I had them.

I hope they knew how much they meant to me, how fiercely I loved them and how hard I tried to give them the most beautiful lives possible.

I would trade every material possession in this world for just one more day with my beautiful family.

My greatest happiness was being their mommy. My greatest heartbreak is having to live without them.

Benjamin, Coco, Jewel, Willow and Sunny, I will love you for every second of the rest of my life. You were my whole world, and you always will be. ❤️🐰🌈

My last cuddle with my beautiful boy, Sunny. 💔🐰

This was when I rushed him to the wonderful Dr. Jackie in an emergency, before we had to say our final goodbye.

A year ago, Sunny developed a highly resistant bacterial infection. There was only one oral antibiotic still available, but the treatment approach at the time was nebulized antibiotics. I trusted the plan and didn't research enough to understand the limitations of nebulizing, particularly with an infection deep in his lungs.

Sunny suffered multiple relapses of pneumonia, causing further damage to his lungs and leaving him with very little lung reserve.

Eventually, the bacteria became resistant to gentamicin. He had been on it for a few weeks without us knowing it was no longer effective. The infection continued to grow, causing further permanent damage to his lungs.

We changed to amikacin, desperately hoping we still had a chance, but his little lungs couldn't cope anymore.

I keep thinking about that one oral antibiotic a year ago. Why didn't I question things? Why didn't I do more research? Why didn't I push for it? Why?

I'm sharing Sunny's story in case it helps others facing resistant infections understand the importance of asking about systemic antibiotics and the limitations of nebulizing. Please ask questions and explore every option with your vet.

I'm carrying unbearable guilt. I feel I failed my boy. I don't want to eat, smile or enjoy anything because I feel like I'm abandoning him. Part of me feels I don't deserve happiness because I couldn't save him. This is something I've always struggled with when losing my animals.

My favourite place in the world was my room with my bunnies. I never wanted to be anywhere else. Just being with them, knowing they were safe and loved, was my happiness. Now that little world will never be the same.

I'm sorry for these heartbreaking posts. Writing is the only way I seem to cope. I'm not looking for sympathy

I'm so sorry for everything I wish I'd done differently. I'd give anything to have you back, healthy and comfortable, beside me again.

I love you with every part of me, Sunny. Always. 💔🐰🌻

My dearest Sunny, my Sunzie, my world, my absolute everything. ❤️

Tonight, I made the hardest decision of my life. I had to let you go, my beautiful boy. How I struggled with that decision, especially when, just moments before, you were still enjoying your banana and strawberry.

Deep down, I know it was the right decision, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. I hope you know just how much I love you. My world is shattered, and both Twinks and I are so, so broken.

You, my boy, were the most beautiful example of how to live life. Born into this world blind, you took it all in your stride and became the bestest bunzie anyone could ever wish for. You never let your blindness define you. You loved your little herd, and you were their gentle leader. You never asked for much. You just loved, so purely and so unconditionally.

I spent almost every moment of every day with you, my boy. My favourite place in the entire world has always been home with my bunnies. No human could ever give me the level of comfort, peace and happiness that you and your siblings bring me. You were my safe place, my happiness, my whole world.

You left this world peacefully just before 9 pm tonight, and I hope with everything in me that you knew how deeply you were loved.

And then came the part I dreaded most. Coming home to a room without you in it. The emptiness is unbearable, my boy. Everything is still here, just as you left it, but you aren't.

What broke my heart even more was your sister. Twinks got to say goodbye to you at the vet, but when we came home, she was looking for you. How do I explain to her that her brother, her gentle leader, isn't coming home? How do I explain something I can barely begin to understand myself?

Our little herd will never be quite the same without you, Sunzie.

You, my friend, were MY life. My everything.

Thank you for loving me, for trusting me, for being my little shadow, my comfort and my greatest joy.

I hope I gave you a life as beautiful as the one you gave me.

I will miss you for the rest of my life, my precious Sunzie. Loving you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

I will love you forever and always.

Mom ❤️

Good news, everyone. Sunny is finally out of hospital and back home. 🤍

After everything he has been through, we have managed to get him stable. The repeated pneumonia relapses have unfortunately left permanent damage to his lungs, so his breathing will never be quite what it once was. But most importantly, he is comfortable.

He just takes things at his own pace now, with a few little rests in between.

This photo is Sunny today, casually hopping around his garden and eating as much grass as he possibly can. Seeing him back where he belongs makes me incredibly happy.

Sunny spent a long time in hospital with Dr Jackie and the team, including a period where he was critically ill. I cannot thank Dr Jackie enough for the care, dedication and love she gave my little sun bun. There is something incredibly comforting about knowing that when one of my bunnies is very sick, they are with people who genuinely care about them.

Unfortunately, we are still dealing with a very difficult respiratory infection. The bacteria appear to be resistant to the oral antibiotics we have tried, so at this stage we no longer have a useful systemic antibiotic option.

Gentamicin has also stopped being effective, which leaves nebulised amikacin as the treatment that is currently keeping the infection under control.

The plan now is for Sunny to remain on nebulised amikacin long term. Our biggest concern is that, with time, the bacteria could eventually become resistant to amikacin as well.

There is no way of knowing when or if that will happen, so for now we are simply hoping for a very long stretch where the amikacin continues to work and keeps the infection controlled.

So Sunny is certainly not completely out of the woods, and we are taking things one day at a time. But for now, I am just incredibly grateful.

Grateful that he is stable.
Grateful that he is eating.
Grateful that he is still enjoying his garden.

And more than anything, grateful to have my little boy home and to have been given more time with him.

Thank you so much, Dr Jackie and team, for looking after my Sunny, loving him and fighting alongside us.
For now, my little sun bun is home where he belongs.

I love you my Sunzie.

Please come home.

My sweet little Sunny. My heart, my soul, my everything.

Please keep fighting, my boy.

Tonight I’m sitting here with tears running down my face, thinking about how much I love you, how much joy you have brought into my life, and how empty my world would feel without you.

I’m not ready to let you go.

So please keep fighting, my little fella.

You came into my life and, in so many ways, you saved me. You were born blind, and life was never going to be as easy for you as it was for other bunnies. But you adapted to every challenge. You learned your world. You trusted me. And I have done everything I possibly could to give you a life filled with love, safety, happiness and as much normality as possible.

The older I get, the more certain I become that I was put on this earth to love and care for animals, especially bunnies. I don’t know what else I was put here for. The love I feel for these little bunnies who come into my life is something I could never properly put into words.

But with that kind of love comes a grief that is just as difficult to describe. The ones I have already lost still live with me every day. That grief comes back in waves, sometimes so painfully it feels like it happened yesterday.

And now I’m terrified of losing you too.
Sunny, you have given me more than you could ever understand. I will never take for granted that somehow you came into my life and became my little boy.

I’m holding onto every bit of hope I have that you still have some fight left in you.

Sunny, just know that I love you with everything I have.

You have saved me in more ways than you could ever know.

I love you.

I’m missing my little boy so much. 💔

He’s currently in the wonderful care of Dr Jackie at Sharp Exotics. Unfortunately, his pneumonia has relapsed, and it seems to have become resistant to pretty much all of the antibiotics we’ve tried. He’s been in an oxygen tank for the past few days while we wait for another round of cultures to come back so we can hopefully understand exactly what we’re dealing with and find a new treatment plan.

This little boy has been such a fighter his entire life. He’s the last of my original five, which makes this even harder, and I miss having him home with me more than I can say.

I’m just hoping with everything I have that he keeps fighting and hangs on while we wait for the results, and that they give us a way forward.

I know he is incredibly loved and being so well cared for by Dr Jackie. She very kindly took him in on Sunday when I was in an absolute panic because my boy was battling so badly to breathe, and knowing that he is safe with her means so much to me.

Come on, my little fighter. ❤️ I really, really hope you pull through and we can get you home again.

THIS NEEDS TO BE BANNED

Please do not support or promote this as animal enrichment. This type of rolling wire orb can cause serious harm to rabbits, chickens and other animals.

• Feet, toes, legs, wings, jaws, heads or necks can become trapped in the gaps.

• If the orb moves while an animal is caught, it can cause painful twisting injuries, sprains, dislocations, fractures and spinal damage.

• Rabbits have powerful hind legs but delicate skeletons and spines. Panicking or kicking inside this structure could cause severe injury.

• Chickens can damage their toes, feet, legs and wings while trying to balance against unstable wire.

• Animals cannot properly control, steer or stop the orb, increasing the risk of falls, collisions and rolling into roads, pools, slopes or other hazards.

• They cannot escape predators, heat, bad weather or anything frightening them.

• It prevents normal behaviour such as running, hiding, stretching, digging, scratching and foraging.
This is not enrichment. It is confinement inside a moving wire cage that can cause fear, panic and serious physical injury.

What people do to make money at the expense of animals is ao disheartening.

NEXT GEN ORB please do better and throw this business out.
